Power Usage spike with an AS/400

We have an old (14 year old) AS/400 S20 system that since moved to a new location, has started to use 3 times the amount of power (AC) than at the previous address.... It does not make sense but then again, I don't know AS/400's very well..

Can anybody tell me if there is some logical reason why this could happen?

Any info would be welcome..

Cheers,
Chris

Does not make any sense to search the mistake on your AS/400 machine. Its a infrastructure problem. Maybe old electrical installation. Its depending on your AC frequence but 3 times can not be. Maybe wrong messured.

This was the case. Charging system was faulty thus always charging batteries and killing then in the process.
