What does "600 watts per channel" mean? Is that 600 watts per socket or are there 4 sockets per channel, making it 1200 watts total?
Also, how long is the cord on this unit?
It means that any one switch/outlet on the unit can handle 600w maximum.
The unit also has a total rating of 15 amps, which translates to roughly 1800 watts total, so obviously not every outlet can be fully loaded to 600 watts at once.
You don't really need to worry too much about anything except your lights, heaters, or chillers exceeding that 600w-per-channel limit. Heaters aren't even really a concern because it's rare to find a single heater that is rated at more than 500.
