Always remember..."electricity is heat". 1-20 amp breaker means just that.It will allow 20 amps of current to flow through it..anymore than 20 amps,and it will reset...look at the information data plates located on all your electrical devices..it should tell you how many amps each electrical device is rated for...You don't want to overload a 20 amp breaker with 30 amps of electrical devices....too much electricity traveling on a wire designed for a 20 amp circuit is bad because the"heat" will cause your electrical wires to melt...thus creating a fire...
bowl Reviewed by bowl on . A question about energy consumption: how much is safe before everything blows? Hi all, I'm a bit nervous about my first setup. I'd like to know if it's safe to run all my equipment from a single bedroom without having to worry about a power failure. Below is what I have in my closet, and below that is what I may have running in my bedroom at the same time. I appreciate all your help. Closet --> - 5 x 250GPH water pumps - 2 x air pumps - 2 x timers - 1 x 6" vortex in-line fan (sorry I don't know how many cubic feet this thing pumps) Rating: 5
