2 GPUs pull 1,600W, 4 GPUs ~3,000W: check your circuit before buying

autonomouslabs warns local multi-GPU builders to do the electrical math before the VRAM math: 2 GPUs draw up to 1,600W (240V recommended), 4 GPUs 3,000W (240V required).
A standard 120V/15A outlet peaks around 1,800W — enough to trip the breaker within minutes. Check your electrical panel before the model card.
