Blew a breaker today ... oops

Guess what, 6x300w is more than 15 amps :D

I fired up my modest AI cluster to do something and go figure, 6x300 watt gpus + computer overhead didn’t do well on a 15 amp breaker. Whole room went dark. The machine wouldn’t power back on so I just spent two hours testing all of the gpus externally and testing the pc with a separate gpu in it and nothing failed … so I put it back together and it just worked .. funny/not funny
