Power requirements for network floor

[Banzai_Joe]

Not sure where else to put this thread, so here goes:

We're refurbing our 1st floor at work and all desks are moving etc.
I've been asked about power and relative ampage requirements per person.
1 person will need power for:
pc
tft monitor (most have transformers that need separate power, not piggy-backed into the psu of the pc)
phone charger
printer
They will also need a min of 2 x RJ45 ports for phone, network and maybe network printer.

I was told that each 3-pin power socket in the floor can have a 4-gang socket attached to it and that can feed one persons power reqs.

So, i'm wondering how it all works. What kind of total ampage would each person's IT need?

The plan is to share one floorbox between 3 users. The new floorboxes we use house 4 x power points and 6 x RJ45 ports.

Questions:
1. Do you understand what i'm trying to say?
2. If so, can you advise me please?

Whats the wattage of each pc. Are they all the same?

If its around 500W

Current (Amps) = Power (Watts) / Voltage (Assume UK - 230V)

then the Amperage is 500 / 230 = 2.17 Amps

Just work out the total for each PC. Easier if they are all identical. I would disregard the phone charger. Since it only draws about 500 milliamps. (Too small to matter) Just use the equation. Look on the monitor and see what the Wattage is and work it out from there.

Hopefully this MIGHT help you . . .

Thats great mate thanks. I knew the calculation, i just thought there'd be more to think about than that though, maybe not.
Although the guy that asked me said that the circuit they were installing in the new floor had a max load of 32A ??? My first thought were that this wasn't enough, but maybe it is, if all i need to do is find the max. ampage per person and multiply it by how many users we have. But then 32A would surely only equate to about 10 people max wouldn't it?
Or am i still confused?
