yeah prob the biggest problem is high wattage itself and whichever method i use, prob better of switch the breaker to 20A or use 20A wall outlet or spend a lot more to change it to 240V...

Cost aspect,

  1. using two psus and plug each to different wall/circuit
  2. replace 15A circuit breaker to 20A or plug it to 20A circuit
    ->not sure if this is safe bet
  3. not sure if higher J helps but rightnow I'm thinking 2 extensions together
    25ft 12AWG heavy duty (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07R78PFQX/ref=ewc_pr_img_2?smid=A3PLDRHEGFPMID&th=1)
    + 6ft 4200J 14AWG surge protection outlet (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08ZQ5RTCY/ref=ewc_pr_img_1?smid=A3RMCEOO2JHVC6&th=1)
    I'm going to test
  4. 25ft heavy duty + 6ft surge protection outlet together and see if it triggers surge protector
  5. if so, use 25ft heavy duty alone and see if it would trigger 15A circuit breaker

OR just take out 1 GPU and it will reduce total wattage to ~1600W, solves all the problem.

guys I wanna make one thing clear.

Symptom :It's the surge protector on the muli-tap extension cord outlet that triggers, not the circuit breaker.FYI, the 25ft extension outlet is 800J surge protected and the breaker is 15AMP (circuit breaker was never triggered, but only the outlet)

I'm on my 2 outlet rightnow and I think the 1700W fried broken the surge protection reset button. prob fried / bent the coil(?) inside

but I hear your recommendations and concerns. prob just better off using two PSUs and connect them to two different wall/circuit breaker or use single power cord on 20amp circuit breaker

just fyi, it's been just an extension outlet not the wall out nor the circuit breaker,

but yes I totally agree with your 80% even 70% rule. I was just stuck up with the idea that I cannot utilize 1600w PSU and wanted to use full/near capacity but this would endanger my circuit breaker or ending up burning ## extension outlets

below was my current plan on what to do next but like you said 80/70% rule should be safe bet
