[rescue] Power Requirement Calculations

[Lionel Peterson]

Mfg. web sites?

How many pieces of equipment are we talking about?

Have you considered going to the circuit breakers and seeing what they are
rated for, and using that as a guide? I bet an electrician could use a probe
of some kind to measure the current on each circuit your equipment is
hanging off, but you'd have to add some to that measurement to account for
everything getting turned on at the same time and consuming additional
power...
