I was just taking a look at Davids 4 way mains distro boards, and it says that it can handle a max of 10amp over the 4 outputs.
Then I was looking at 8 way distro boards and it says 80amps in total?
I simply do not understand stand this, ever since I started this hobby, this part has confused the hell out of me! Having said that I have not ever had a fuse blow or tripped a breaker in my house so I maybe doing some thing right?
The reason I ask, is to try and work out a box build, I see a lot of people build their boxes or daisy chain boxes together with power boards the use one mains power point? (which is rated at 10amps?)
When I built my first box, I wired in 5 power supplies to one power cord (for ease of plugging in) and the still plugged that into a power board.
THEN I add the radio for music, the switch power, the box for the DC lights, I think there was another power board too....all back to one power point. When I spoke to an electrician about getting a 15amp power point he basically laughed at me?
If I was going to the mini I think I would be in the ear of someone trying to understand this all day!!! LOL
