[rescue] SGI goodies anyone?

[Patrick Finnegan]

FWIW, for the past few decades, it has been a code requirement per the 
US National Electric Code to have two 20A, 120V circuits in a kitchen, 
and a 20A, 120V circuit for a clothes washer.  Most people also have a 
30A, 240V dryer outlet.

For "until you get someone who knows what they're doing" usage, that 
usually can handle a lot of stuff.  Just remember that electricians are 
much cheaper than the mess you get into when you have a fire that isn't 
covered by your insurance because your wiring wasn't up to code.

So, for running my full A4700, I had to run two 30A, 240V ciruits to my 
dining room (its temporary location) to handle all 9kW it uses.  At 
about $15/day, and requiring cold weather and good circulation with the 
windows open, I'm not going to be running the whole system that much, 
though.
