Hello,
i've done a bit of research but dont know what im talking about and have a few questions before i garble down the phone at an electrician if anyone can help..

I want to run computer servers/processors in my home and put them all in the spare room so i can control the environment, if i can do what i want to, peak power draw could be 12kw, so as i understand it to run safely with 20% headroom i'd need 2 60 amp circuits? 120*120=14400watts?

My fuse box has a main circuit breaker rated at 100amps, but the ratings of all the fuses in the box add up to 202amps. so shouldn't the main breaker be rated to 200amps?
if i have a 200amp supply to the house is that the maximum the mains supply cable from outside can provide or could i can have a 2nd 120 or 200amp fuse box installed and run the circuits off that?

thanks
