If you have questions about this beyond the scope of the laser's power requirements you may want to seek the advice of an electrician.
The Mini 60 and Nova 24 have a NEMA 5-15P 110VAC 15A plug and will fit a NEMA 5-15R or a NEMA 5-20R

Newer Nova series machines power the chiller directly via the Laser Power Switch. See more here:
July 1, 2020 Nova Series Changes
you can use an 18AWG or better IEC computer power cable to power the chiller from another circuit instead of the laser power to help balance the load if you wish.
The power requirements of the lasers differ by wattage and most of the units require a dedicated 20A outlet, meaning that a 130W Thunder laser with this 20A plug will not plug into a standard 15A 110VAC outlet.
PLEASE OBSERVE ALL OF THE THUNDER LASER POWER REQUIREMENTS. LOCAL ELECTRICIAL CODES SUPERCEDE THIS INFO. CONTACT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN IF YOU ARE NOT SURE.
