And that is to keep it safe. Continuously pulling 1650 W out of a US power socket is not safe. I've seen even 1500 W continuous heat up loose connections inside the socket to a level that charred plastic. Leaving this machine running a heavy compute load for hours without a 20A socket is a fire hazard:
> Surprising efficiency: Despite its scale, the workstation pulls 1650W at peak, low enough to run on a standard 15-amp / 120V household circuit.
