if the current configuration is exceeding the current draw at the socket,....changing the power supply for one with a lower total capacity will do nothing for the systems power draw as that will remain the same

 

in other words it doesn't matter if the max limit is 500 watts or 1000 watts the system itself will still draw the same watts from the supply

 

your client needs to upgrade the capacity of the outlet the system is connected to and this requires a qualified electrician in most cases

This is a CTO so the P/N for CTO is Z3Z16AV with Z5L05AV (Z8 G4 90 1450W WW CHAS 100V 20A) as Chasis and Power supply now the customer has realized that in order to operate he needs 20 A socket and he wants to know if the 1450 power supply can be swapped with 1150 power supply with is 15 AMP the worststation is not heavily loaded 2 CPU and one Entry level GPU and 64 GB of memory so power wise can support the 1150 w/o problem
