Later this year I may be moving house and renting a place for a year or two. If I do the chances that the rental will have the power specs I'll need to run my arcade collection are almost zero.
I was wondering if a portable generator would make a good substitute and what kind of wattage I would need to run up to say 40 machines.
I was thinking an average of 2 amps per game = 80 amps multiplied by 120v gives 9600 WATTS, so a 10,000 running WATTS unit should be more then capable.
Also what other kind of voltage protection for that setup? Just surge strips?
