My Power Sucks

[bankshot]

I have a lot of equipment in my HT of course, and when I add up all the watts and amps they suck up from the line it is barely under the 12amp limit,so I guess it is OK. However I wanted to add something new and that will eighther put me over or right at 12 amps. Should I take the risk and do it and what are the risks.

Did you measure the amp draw or are you calculating it?

[bankshot]

Im calculating it, how could I measure it.

Where do you live that has a 12 amp line instead of the usual 15?

[bankshot]

Sorry I meant 15amps I dont know where I got 12 from.

Chances are it's way below what you're calculating. Rarely do electronics draw their maximum potential / rating.

Thank You, I was not aware of that.
