Re: Power consumption

Chris, this might not be wise, to be over fusing house wiring. I would be
very careful you are not setting up a wiring fire behind the walls. There
is a GOOD reason for 15 circuit breakers/fuses for house wiring, it is
often 14 gauge wire, and will run a bit hot at 20 amps, also the
connections for the wiring will be even hotter and this is the biggest
risk. Have you ever noticed how edge connectors sometimes smoke on game
boards? Now, imagine your house...
