David:
DD I would like to put my computer equipment on its own circuit. Would I need DD a 15 or 20 amp breaker to do this? Are there any restrictions as far as ho DD many breakers can be in the box? I know there is room for more. What gaug DD wiring would this require? I'd go with the 20 Amp circuit "just because" it's a little more robust in case you need more current later. Maybe it's a little cool in the Computer Room and you need to take the chill out by running an electric heater. And for your next question, no, you do not have to use 20A rated outlets on a 20 Amp circuit - the 15 Amp duplex outlets are fine. BTW, speaking of outlets, you might want to have a few more than one or two per wall for the equipment. Also plan ahead to position the outlets where you need them now and where you may need them int he future should you re-arrange things. Easier and cheaper to plan ahead for the future now. - ¯ barry.martinþATþthesafebbs.zeppole.com ® * A horse may go freely to water, but a pencil must be lead. --- þ RoseReader 2.52á P003186 þ The Safe BBS þ Bettendorf, IA 563-359-1971 --- þ RIMEGate(tm)/RGXMod V1.13 at BBSWORLD * |
