Can anybody tell me if 3 computers are too much for a 20 amp circuit?


Check the power ratings of the devices and add up the amperage.

Actually it is 3 monitors a printer "not laser" and 3 thin clients if
anybody knows what a thin client is. it is about the size of a book
and is not a full tower so I assume it consumes alot less power then a
full computer tower.


If you are talking about something like the Sun Ray devices (

low. The monitors and printer will be the major consumers.
