It also seems just weird from a business point of view. He's not going to sell many, he's not going to offer support, he's not at a scale where vendors are going to offer much particular support, and despite being absolutely tiny in scale he's still offering two totally different SKUs.
Shame it wasn't designed for EU sockets. 230V*16A = 3700W, or double that on separate breakers!
Seperate breakers aren't really a thing here, at least in my country, usually if you need more power you draw 400V
You should max. pull 2.7kW.
For everything else you need a blue eu socket or camper socket.
I learned this due to my EV which is able to be charged through a normal socket but it regulates it down due to this on purpose and has a temperature sensor build in as well.
240V: Split-phase, this gives you 120V between each leg and neutral, and 240V across the two legs.
208V: The interphase in a 3-phase system.
HTH, ducking out :)
And with a distributed training you can end-up with "synchronized" transients over all cards :(.
A quick point: transient surges are usually fine. Both cables and circuit breakers are designed to fail (trip or burn out) under sustained overloads. For example, a 16A Class C circuit breaker might take around an hour to trip with a constant 17A load, but a ~80A load would trip it ~instantly.
PS: Of course, everything is a matter of integration over time (heat dissipation in cables mostly).
- Air cooling 6x4090 and a 32 core CPU for sustained peak workloads.
- 3200W total power when a single 4090 can draw close to 600W.
Maybe they are targeting startups who aren't interested in overclocking.
