electrical outlet question..
- Thread starter JEAE21
- Start date
I have a whole fish room minus the lights on a 15 amp breaker. That's a number of 50 watt heaters, 2x300, 150 and a 250. Two large hobs, mag 18, xp4 and two air pumps. Even with 3 more heaters I didnt trip the breaker.
I only had to rewire for two 800w heaters that pull 9amps a piece. Now my 450g has three dedicated circuits. 2x30 and 1x15 for lights. Those circuits will probably also run another 800g or so soon. I doubt you would have any problems. Just try it and keep an eye on things. If you overload it, you trip the circuit and you've got to rethink.

Get an electrician if you are at all unsure. Pay him $100 bucks, to say "everything is ok" and then sue the pants off him if something bad happens. If at all in doubt, do NOT seek advise online, get someone there who can see ALL the evidence and make an informed decision. Please, for all of our sakes.
Only YOU can prevent stupid fires!

You know you really need to have basic knowledge to understand the basic answers that have been given you. You ask "What is Amps?" yet that information was given way back in post 16. You really should follow rallys advice and understand the basics by spending a little time and researching yourself. This way you would not have to ask the same questions over and over.
Personally I think your putting way to much into this, You have a small aquarium set up, that requires a minimal amount of power. If the circut that you are plugged into is tripping, then ask questions.
