Assuming we pulled approx 800 watts per station, This would get us at a total of 4000 watts, not including laptops and projector. That alone would bring us at, 4000w/240V = 16.6A. Which is just over the regular 16 A limit for a consumer grade surge protector. Add to that, the laptops, projector and coffee maker, and we were well over. In retrospect, I do believe that Torsten was pulling his power from the neighboring booth, which is probably what ultimately saved us. I did plan to bring a second extension cable, but couldn't find it anywhere. Definitely something to consider for next time.
