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.
