Re: Model 320 questions

The 170 has a max inrush of 45 Amps and with a sidecar has nearly
identical electrical specs and BTU output as the 820. Only difference is
the 170 with sidecar has two power cords so you could put it on two
different circuits if you wanted too.

Read about the 170 here:

(OK OK it says 250 but the 250 WAS the 170 :-) )

Re: Model 320 questions






Thanks Larry! The house I'm in was built in 1947, so I'm not so sure
about the "average wall outlet"; when I had central hvac installed, they
added a 100-amp circuit to handle it. But I'm optimistic. I have a 170
with expansion chassis running with no problem; what's the equivalent
startup amp draw for that?

Don't worry about the 74A rating as that's 'Inrush' current and only
happens when the power supplies are connected to power for about the

first

1 cycle. (Check any circuit breaker and you'll see they are rated for
10,000A for 1 cycle to allow for such things.) The actual amp draw on
110V would be about 8 (ish) if the thing is fully packed and about 4 on
220v. Nothing at all to be concerned about - you can safely plug the

thing

into any average wall outlet - just not the one the hair dryer is

plugged

into. :-)

BTUs as I mentioned before is a max of 2867 but again that's fully

packed

and populated with 4 processors, max memory and an IXS card. You'll

likely

see 1/2 to 2/3rds of that.

Re: Model 320 questions






Thanks Pat -- that's one heck of a link (lengthwise that is). It says
it can operate on 110-220VAC and uses 0.862 kVA, and says the starting
current is 74A. Looks like I'd need a new circuit for that. No mention
of BTUs.

Ok, sorry for the misinformation.

Model number . . . . . : 820
Processor feature . . : 24AC

Auxiliary storage:
System ASP . . . . . . : 527.4 G
% system ASP used . . : 85.8130
Total . . . . . . . . : 527.4 G

That also explains why I couldn't find model 320 in the info center --
too old.

So what's the story on the 820?
