I wonder if my system is good or bad. My server needs 0.1kWh.

My server rack has

3x Dell R730
1x Dell R720
2x Cisco Catalyst 3750x (IP Routing license)
2x Netgear M4300-12x12f
1x Unifi USW-48-Pro
1x USW-Agg
3x Framework 11th Gen (future cluster)
1x Protectli FE4B

All together that draws.... 0.1 kWh.... in 0.327s.

In real time terms, measured at the UPS, I have a running stable state load of 900-1100w depending on what I have at load. I call it my computationally efficient space heater because it generates more heat than is required for my apartment in winter except for the coldest of days. It has a dedicated 120v 15A circuit

Good lord, how much does electricity cost where you are? Combined with the air conditioning to keep the space livable, that would be prohibitively expensive for me

It's always wild reading the power draw people wrote here.

I knew it was because this is a US & Europe centric site and many people from homelabs actually run Enterprise size rigs, but my 4 member household run on 2kW for the entire house lol and 75℅ of that is just A/C we use at night.

My household of 7 averages 900 watts year-round.

[–] BigDanishGuy@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

On cold winter days, we can average 6kW over 24h, but peak is more like 10 I'd 13. Not talking just about my space heaters with embedded computing power and TBs of storage, but the whole household.

Yeah it's a bit of a chonk. I don't remember the exact itemization on the power bill and I don't have one in front of me.
