I want a dedicated 20 amp line to my A/V equipment and Plasma (to reduce hum). I'm having difficulty finding power consumption figures. Are these guesses reasonable?


500 - Panasonic 50" plasma

600 - Receiver -> 6 bookshelf speakers

250 - DVD player

250 - RCA DTC100 HDTV sat box

250 - Cable box

250 - X-box

===

2100 watts (20 amps * 125 volts = 2500 watts)


I have a different circuit for lights and another one for wall plugs. Theoretically I have enough juice with 20% to spare. I'll use a surge protector receptable for the plasma socket and a surge strip for the A/V equipment.


Am I missing anything?

30 - DVD player

30 - Cable box

100 - Xbox (from www.xbox.com )

I guess:

That puts me at 1400 watts leaving plenty of power for the sub-woofer that I forgot to list.

From the manuals:


Panasonic TH-50PHD3 ... 5.5A


RCA DTC100 ... Doesn't say! But the Toshiba DST-3000 (another HD STB) pulls 51W.


Denon AVR-3802 (a popular 110W x 7 channel receiver) ... 7.1A
