Hello All

I have a server room which will be running eight - nine servers.
Currently only three, plus a router, and a UPS are powered by what
looks like to me an extension to the ring main (Not sure??) The supply
to the cab is via a 13AMP socket

Basically there is a cable which has been spurred from a socket in the
end room of the house which runs into the garage and supplies the
lights and sockets for the garage and server room next to it. There is
at least one Fused Connection Unit in the mix from memory.

In addition to the final eight - nine servers I have an aircon unit
that will be installed, plus there will be various office kit that
will need powering. Taking the load into consideration, even though
there is very little on the upstairs ring main where the supply comes
from I am proposing to get the server room powered on its own circuit
in some way.

I was thinking a radial circuit from the existing CU would maybe be
the best approach. However looking at the CU there is only one unused
socket or whatever the correct word is.
Would it be better to install a new CU in the server room itself or
just use this spare socket and run a radial.

Also would it be expensive to get a seperate supply completely run
into the server room. Its for a business and therefore I really need
to seperate it from my domestic supply.

I will be getting a proper spark in to do this, but I'm just curious
to hear what the best solution would be so I dont get ripped off!!!!

Also any guestimates on cost?

Cheers

Richard
