I have one 20amp circuit for my rack. (most likely a EP2500, onkyo 7 or 800 series, ps3, blu-ray, Panasonic AE3000U, etc. nothing crazy.) Also one 20amp for a mini fridge and my computer. Does this sound like enough? These don't include the regular outlets around the room?

I have a 20AMP circuit for my rack and that should be plenty (I understand that's what many on here use). A 20A breaker should only carry 2400W continuously (20AMPS x 120 VOLTS), but the load should be considered for the circuit to run 80% continuously or 1920W. I doubt all of your equipment will add up to that much.

Fridges and air-conditioners are notorious intermittent EMI/RFI noise generators! It's best to wire them on another circuit.

The only thing sharing the circuit with the fridge is my home computer. Everything else will be on a separate circuit.

Will you need more amps some day?


Will it be easier to add now, or can it just wait until the time comes?


I'll add a 60 amp subpanel to the mechanical closet, and a 220V outlet in the workshop, when they are needed. I may get run over by a bus tomorrow.
