Ideally you'd want a UPS on the dryer - your power requirements will go up somewhat, though :). Maybe there's some passive gizmo which can act as a surge suppressor for the dryer, to smooth out the start-up a bit. |

| 1134171 | 2010-09-03 01:01:00 | New power points a couple of hundred, overloaded power system = fire etc = heaps of hundreds. Only one way to go in my thinking. | Arnie (6624) | ||

| 1134173 | 2010-09-03 01:12:00 | I don't have a option there the closest points outside the room are not close enough and with a 4yr old running around the danger of the cord is too great Dont think he really wants to risk it. |

| 1134174 | 2010-09-03 01:19:00 | While the server may not be drawing the full 850w, it would also depend on the PSU efficiency %.....does it really need such a big PSU?....I think though at the end of the day, you will need a sparky to increase the capacity load of the breaker. It wont take 30min to change, + the part, $100-$150 all up, got to be cheaper thena new PC parts or new house...LOL | SolMiester (139) | ||
| 1134175 | 2010-09-03 01:27:00 | Isn't that what I thought initially Sol, putting in a fatter wire so to speak? | DeSade (984) | ||
| 1134176 | 2010-09-03 01:31:00 | Get a sparky in, if you fiddle and the house burns, you will have no insurance. | KarameaDave (15222) | ||
| 1134177 | 2010-09-03 01:45:00 | Oh I'm not doing it myself, I barely know what a breaker looks like...... Just wanted to be sure of what I was asking him to do. |

| 1134178 | 2010-09-03 01:49:00 | Go with the sparky option - if your wiring's up to scratch it might just mean a new breaker of higher capacity. Otherwise he'll already be there to advise what wiring up a new power point will involve... | MushHead (10626) | ||
