Amps Per Light

how much amps does a 600 watt generate, how about a 1000 watt? fans on the same circuit no problem or a problem? what do you all think

how bigs the fan? and im pretty sure most houses have a 10 amp circuit it would be hard to reach that point with just one light and a fan or two. but i would do your reaserch im not the smartest lol

it should say on the back of the ballast but most 600 watts should be right around 6 amps and a normal house fuse is at 15 amps (i think ) so you should be very safe to add a few fans on top of your light if it is in deed a 15 amp fuse. most small fans are 1 amp at most.
a simple calc is to take the watts and divide by 110 and you should have a close estimate of the amps

A 1000 watt ballast draws 9.5-10 amps @ 110 volts. It only draws 4.5-5 amps @ 220 volts.

My 600watt Digi runs 5amps and my 1000w runs 9.5amps most breakers run 15 amps but remember you only want to use 80% or your allowed amps so if your allowed 15 then you only use 12amps......

Also my parents house has 15amp limit per breaker but my apartment has a 20amp limit per breaker so there not all the same....... if its a 600w then put it all on same breaker but if you running a 1000w you might wanna split some of the things up onto two breakers...... In my apartment i run 2 1000ws a 8" and 4" fan and 4 smaller circulation fans......so i must use two breakers to run this i put a 1000w on each breaker then split the two fans up on diff breakers and then i put the 4 small fans on the same breaker as the 4" fan since my 8" fan usess almost two amps...... I have to run an extention cord to my grow room because my grow room only has outlets run to the one breaker to i need a cord to run out the room to another set of outlets going to the other breaker........ hope this helps.....later

looks like its been answered, 9.5 for my ballasts 1000w

most items should have a paper with warning signs and amp ratings.etc
