With machines like this there is a saying, "If you need to ask....".
Basically it's a large machine, larger than a 19" rack (only about 4.5-5
feet tall though). IIRC, the power requirements aren't that bad, you
should be able to run it off a dryer circuit (as long as the dryer isn't in
use), and it's single phase.
