20 amps for plugs, 20 ampere branch circuit can carry 2000 watts! 15 amps for lights, 15 ampere branch circuit can carry 1500 watts! Circuits can only handle a specified total wattage of all the electrical products connected to that circuit. If too much wattage is plugged into a circuit, it can result in serious electrical problems. Find the nameplate on each appliance indicating its power (watts) rating. Add up the total watts for appliances that you may use at the same time on the same branch circuit.
