When using a circuit breaker

WWWWaaaarrrriiiinnnngggg

If you use a circuit breaker (rated 30A/30mA ELB), you can use up to twelve
computer systems (including the monitors) simultaneously.
However, if excessive electricity flow causes the circuit breaker to suspend
power, you may run the risk of losing data in your computer.

For a safe usage environment, we recommend the acquisition of about

30% margin. Therefore, the use of about eight computers per each circuit
breaker is recommended.
