I currently live in a building with a 32Amp load limit at our consumer unit.
Whilst building servers for clients we have had the RCD trip and when we had the power circuits tested the bottom line was that we were close to hitting the 32Amp limit with regular use of items (TVs, Air Con, Home server, 2 PCs, XBox, Projector etc). With a wife and 3 kids all doing their own stuff most of the time it is not unusual to have many power sucking devices all running at the same time.
With more client builds coming in from time to time, I would like to be able to test and run without knocking the power out to our whole apartment .
Short of moving / getting the electric supply company to upgrade our feed (extremely expensive), is there any other way to help manage the load, possibly via a UPS for the servers ?.
