You should get outlets that are rated for 16A continuesly and not just 16A Peak (10A continuesly), but other than that you are fine.

I love how Linus points out the input voltage rating, but totally ignores the input current limit of 10 amps right next to it. I was hoping to see some kind of generator like tony starks ark reactor inside, as that 10 A input limit gives a max output of 2400w at perfect efficiency on 240, so at a minimum it needs to pull 1050W out of thin air to attain rated capacity.

6:54 that is an PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient) that is used to limit in-rush currents and not an NTC. As a high current passes through it and it warms up, it's resistance increases (hence Positive Temperature Coefficient) and it therefore limits the current, after the capacitors have charged up, the current decreases, the PTC cools does and it's resistance goes down and it has done it's job. a NTC would let more current through as it heats up, which is not what we want in in-rush current protection application.

@@someguy4915 I believe you're more correct on this one actually after I rechecked the use cases for the input protection cases for the NTC and PTC. PTC is more suited for possible short-circuit events, so they limit in those cases the more sustained current draw times. And I might have also mixed them with polyfuses, which share the PTC characteristic thermal-resistance behavior with current. Both can be used in current limiting applications.

Fun fact, in the US and Canada, we don't have only 120V. Most homes also have 250V. Everyone knows the = and the =o plug but we also have a 3 prong circular one (2321 plug) which tends to run on 20A circuits, and 3 phase 4 prong circular one (3P4W plug) that runs on 50A circuits, which can push 5000W and 12500W respectively. In our homes, not workshops or something. It's weird they don't get talked about ever. It's for heaters and AC and such, most older washers also ran on one of these. But theoretically they could be installed for any purpose if your appliance was wired for it.

@@kaldo8907 yeah, i saw a video from technology connections about the US electrical system. Kind of weird to have a ground point in the middle of the transformer to get "2x 120V" from your 240V supply line and then use double breakers if you need the full 240V. Here in Germany basically all (stationary) devices that use 3phase innately are wired up directly without a plug (like literal wires into the deevice) but we also have 3 phase plugs/sockets for construction equipment etc. which can push 11kW or 22kW respectively. I'm sure there are alot bigger connectors around but those are pretty easy to find, especially the 11kW one which makes charging an EV a breeze if the on-board charger and charging brick support it.

You guys should hook up your equipment with Plug Type G on a decent Transformer. I use Type C/F and Type B & Type A pretty evenly depending on what project I'm working on via a general use Transformer and usually I have considerably fewer fatal occurrences as a result of mistakes during testing. Not only is it locally fused, it has lower resistance on connections as they are much thicker. Makes life a lot simpler. Foolish to do so but sometimes I use the wrong connector for the unintended voltage and even in those situations I usually am saved by Type G. Definitely more reliable with higher voltage as well. Doesn't struggle to draw current quite as much. Fair enough it is a small difference, but it is always somewhat more practical as a result, even if in the slightest form. I feel the appliance connection situation is similar to the failure to switch to Metric. It is so common and standard, it will be a catastrophe to switch now.

I love how the "how do you get 3kW from a single power connector" question is a very north-American thing. Large parts of the world actually run 240V rather than 120V (it's also more efficient, heck, it makes EV a lot more manageable as well). 3.4kW is only 14.2Amps, usually groups are secured to 16A here. Lot of stuff such as electric hobs and car chargers even sometimes do multi-stage, such as an 11kW home car charger using 3 stages at 16A each. I'm not saying you should "just" put a 14A load on any random outlet, but honestly it's not much different from a laundry dryer or an oven. Lot of houses have 3x25A total nowadays (some still on 1x40), and you can get (but it's more pricey) 3x35 easily (more is possible but it involves a bit more work), so typically this kind of power is 'no biggy'. Is it smart? Nah. By no means. Entertaining video though, nonetheless (@Linus Tech Tips: perhaps an interesting subject as a journalistic piece: explore the challenges of power grids in electrification, I do as if 3x25A 240V is a nice thing here but honestly we struggle as well even with load balancers because our PV, our heatpumps, and our cars otherwise would... blow fuses, can NOT imagine how that would work on 120V...).

@@HappyBeezerStudios eh 15A can be overdriven an amp or 2 and never trip due to breaker manufacturing tolerances if you really push it and bin the breakers (usually 10% tolerances for cheap ones). The wiring can actually carry 2-3x rated current fine (ie insulation just getting warm, not melting) if the run is short. Most ampacity tables are for keeping voltage drop under 3% at stated amps rather than for temperature rise. Apparently the PSU won't mind if the voltage drops to as low as 180 (25% drop), but the breaker and wiring would with the amperage required to do that. It would be very difficult to run 3450W at 100% load anyway if using it for it's intended purpose (presumably a mining rack, and most mobos for those only have 8 gpu slots with each underlcocked = maybe 3kW).

So the C13/14 connectors are rated for 15A, so on 220-240V this is pushing it a bit (14A at 240V) so at 110-120V it's definitely exceeding the current rating of the connector.

I was wondering why would it be a problem for C13 to handle 3450w of power. Then I remembered US and Canada are pretty much the only places in world where they have half of the voltage than rest of the world, meaning you gotta push thru twice as much amps. Sometimes I'm glad I live in EU. You mostly can't even use US/Canada wires in Europe since they will burn down, but you can use European ones in US/Canada. EDIT: Nevermind, they used 220v line, so it's all good.

The actual limiting factor is the cabling, which often is too thin to carry such amounts of current without melting its insulation.

It was like $600 but Honestly it was garbage. But I upgraded the GPU and mobo/CPU shortly after so the power supply it came with was no longer enough and I didn't have the money for a new one. But I did have another one laying around from a dead computer that was better but it was old using more molex while the new had more SATA. I can't remember the specifics but I basically cannibalized the two power supplies for all connectors I could possibly need and soldered them onto the better PSU board. Ah good times.

Here in the UK the standard wall outlet is 230v 13A. If you're lucky you get ~240v which means you'd get 3120 watts maximum. Not to mention those IEC C13/C15 connectors are only rated to 10A which means your maximum power is 2400W max then you're going to melt that cable. So you'd have to get a special circuit put in from your fuse box to supply your PC.
