Electrical Installation 6,5kWh per hour; 156kWh per day

[george82]

Hello. I am inexperienced with electrical systems.
However, I intend to buy 10 servers, each with 625W power supply unit.
They are going to work at 100% 24h a day.
I know that my home installation will not be able to whitstand to that
quantity of power consumption.

My question is - which is the cheapest way to upgrade my electrical installation?
It needs to be at least 6,5 kWh per hour and 156 kWh per day.
I ask because diesel and oil generators use too much fuel and
green sources such as solar panels etc. are really expensive.

I am sorry about the dumb question but I really don't know anything about
electric systems.

Thanks in advance,
George.

Your domestic installation should be able to take the load - it totals less than an average domestic shower, albeit for a longer period. I can think of various ways to split the load to minimise strain on any one circuit through 24-hour operation, but a big problem for continuous operation is likely to be your RCD (if you've got one) tripping through all the earth leakage from the servers. Shop around for a local electrician who's got experience with IT installations, ask the local computer shop who they use.

Thank you very much for the information and advice.

Total maximum loading would be 28A so no problem if you have an 80 or 100A cut out. Split the computer supplies between 2 rings each with additional earthing but no RCD.
As to 625W power supply, that is the maximum power they can supply. The actual loading will be far less.
