EC read 2400 watts max per line. is this correct?

Another thing to consider is to try to keep lighting separate from
receptacles. Take, for example, if someone goes downstairs to vacuum
the carpet. Dehumidifer is on, person flips on the lights to the
room, then plugs the vacuum in. Probably overload of the recpetacle
circuit, shutting down the dehum and vacuum, but the lights stay on.
