I have been looking for a power meter that I can use to determine what the current draw is on each of these lines so that I can make sure not to exceed 80%. That should keep the lines cool enough for continuous usage. I went to Loews last night and got some 12 gauge power wire to hook the first line I mentioned to some of the other outlets in the room. I need to determine what the power requirements are for the following groupings of equipment:
1. Computer Rack
- 1500 watt APC
- Server One - generic PC with 7 Ethernet ports
- Server Two (future buy) - probably a NUC device
- Raspberry Pi Cluster: 4 RPis, plus 6 usb connector power supply
- 16 port 1GB managed switch
- 8 port 1GB managed switch
- 8 port 1GB switch
- Two WD myCloud devices (4TB and 3TB) plus One backup usb drive (4TB)
2. Hutch
- Smaller APC unit
- Mac Mini
- Two monitors: one with dual HDMI inputs
- powered speakers
- PC laptop docking station
- external 4TB drive
- external DVD burner
- old 3in1 printer for scanning
- Apple TV 3/Roku
- 8 port 1GB managed switch
3. DIY Electronics Table
- Smaller APC unit
- 8 port POE switch
- 8 port 1GB managed switch
- 4-unit HDMI switch
- PC power supply for bench
- One monitor w/attached RPi
- 6 usb connector power supply for RPis/Arduinos
- RPi with 7" LCD screen for monitoring
4. 3D Printer (in Lack table enclosure)
- 3D printer
- OctoPi setup with camera
- power supply for OctoPi
- Ethernet connection from OctoPi to the Hutch managed switch
