Methinks that we need more power in the machine room

Someone has recently installed several Terabytes of disk with appropriate tape backup in our machine room

30amp cable should not get that hot.
Get out the lart, the cat5'o'nine tails, and apply vigorously to whoever set it up.

Tell me about it, he was running all this kit from two 4 gang extensions. He managed to burn the fuse out on one of them!

I have just checked the ducting and found that one of the other cables is also running hot :)

The last power distribution board lasted 15 years before it went bang about a year ago. I wonder how long this one will last...
