I had a 200amp installed. If it is 6 for 20amp, what would be 200amp? about 60 pins? I am horrible at math

Quoted from schudel5:

200A refers to per 120V phase and there are 2 per 240V panel. (We won't get into 208Y/120V, 3-phase panels). But a 200A panel can provide 200A x 240V = 48,000W total. Let's assume each game pulls 2.5A which is 2.5A x 120V = 300W.
48,000W / 300W = 160 games. If we take into account the 80% rating then 160 x 80% = 128 games
Yeah. You are horrible at math.

lol, well now I need to buy 108 more machines since I can run more... GREAT!

Quoted from Spg101:

Well I like the way you guys think! I have definitely been bitten by the bug. I bought one and now looking for opportunities for more....

When it starts... You look at things like a couch and how much pin space it is using.
