It sounded kinda high to me too, but I was just reading off the spec
sheet. It claimed to be 6A/3A, 115V/225V. So I just assumed the numbers
were respective to eachother, but maybe that's not the case.
300W seems to make more sense. But even then, you're still talking about
roughly 250,000 KWH per month, just to power the workstations. Doesn't
include things like lights, monitors, coffee makers... etc.
Imagine paying that bill? I'll pass... :)
