Hey all I've got a question about my electrical setup I think will work but just want to make sure.
My breaker box for the room I'm using has 2 switched and they both say 20. I checked to make sure I was in the right room before hand. Also it's 120 volts
My plan is to run 1 AC unit which says on the side 730 watts (it's 8000 btus) this will be on it's own outlet.
I'll be running a 400 watt ceramic metal hallide light. With a 485 cfm dayton blower rated at 1.35 amps. (both on the same plug in timer)
And lastly a water pump rated at 12 watts.
I'm thinking say 800 watts for AC, 400 for the light, 135 for the fan and 12 for the pump brings me to 1347 watts total.
Now my breakers say 20 amps (2000 watts right?) and at 1347 I'm below the 80% limit for the breakers in my room. Am I correct in this line of reasoning that I won't overpower the circuit? There is nothing else plugged into any outlet in the room.
Thanks for the help in advance...just want to make sure I'm right before starting anything.
