House circuitry help?
« on: September 26, 2009, 04:57:27 PM »
How much can you have plugged in at a time?
I remember my grandpa saying a room has 16A and any more will cause problems...

Is this correct? How much can I have plugged in at a time? Or running?
Will this be okay:
360
360
Home theater a/v receiver
HDTV
Small desktop
Laptop charger
Phone charger
iPod charger
Lamp
Router
Modem
Possibly more?

That's it? It won't start a fire or cause any problems, it'll automatically switch off?

well it could catch ur wires on fire.
but ur breaker will switch off if u try to draw too much power
and if every thing in the house went on at once then u might have a breaker switch off

the only time something is going to really start on fire is if you have a short or somthing stupid like that. Most breakers are 20amp I believe, but it all depends on what you got at your house. I wouldnt be to worried about it though. I have as much stuff plugged in as you plus another room in my house is tied in and no problems.

Alright good. My mom's always asking if I have too much plugged in.
That was for future stuff, too.
Right now it's just the lamp, chargers, receiver, router/modem, and my tv and pair of 360s.  Haha
