[QUOTE="Barrelnut, post: 1798314, member: 74902"] I was kinda looking at it this way OP has 9 Led cans and possibly a couple electrical scales and who knows maybe a powdered brass prep station. . 9 x 15 watt Led cans = 135 watts 135 watts on a 110 volt circuit draws = only 1.2 amps Say you want a max of 80% load on a 15 amp circuit. that = total 12 amps 12 amps - 1.2 amps = 10.8 amps That leaves the op 10.8 amps to run all kinds of stuff. A 2 HP 5 gallon shop vac draws about 7.5 amps A Steel pin case tumbler draws about 1/2 amp A RCBS Chargemaster draws about .04 amps So, you could run all kinds of stuff AT THE SAME TIME and not use 80% of the 15 amp circuit. Now if you plan on running a 1500 Watt space heater on the same circuit, that could be a problem. [/QUOTE]
