Mhmmm indeed makes sense. So if the outlet is not sufficient enough (which I know it is not) I reckon I'd have to make some phone calls...
Physical shape of receptacles and plugs defines its current (wattage) rating.  A NEMA15-5 is only a 15 amp outlet. Meaning it can only power appliances of less than 1600 watts.

However most computers (with 600 and 750 watt power supplies) are only consuming less than 200 watts.  And maybe up to 350 watts peak for a very short duration.  So we tell that computer assembler that he needs a 700 watt supply.  Then help lines are not crowded out by teaching basic electrical concepts. 

Is your system so hot as to also toast bread?  If not, then it properly consumers 300 watts maximum.  To say more means you must buy and measure with a meter.

I have used a S4 on surge protector's much more power used then the 660-750 you mention and had no issues.   

Only thing I ever had problem was used to small of guage electric extension cable, it got hotter then I liked.  Switched the S4 to a much higher guage extension cord.

I'm not sure where you're located, but the question you need to be asking is "can the outlet into which I plug in the surge protector support the kind of power draw I'm asking of it with multiple 1300W PSUs?"

If you're in the US and are using a typical wall plug, the answer is a pretty definitive no.


If you are talking about 220/240 instead of surge protectors most likely you need to look into PDU's.  They are plugged into high voltage and split it into a few different outlets.

So would I be able to plug in say multiple 1300 watt PSU's http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817182063&cm_re=1300_watt_power_supply-_-17-182-063-_-Product to it and have them run at full power? Does this output Watt Capacity of 1875 on the surge protector limit as such? And if so how would I plug in multiple 1300 watt PSU's into one place, What product would allow this? Electricity Costs will not be an issue for me (already calc'd)
