Title: How many BB1/WMS would be OK on the same 20amp circuit?? Post by: mohican on January 16, 2014, 04:06:48 AM Just a quick question to all the bros here: about how many BB1/WMS can be on the same circuit of 20amp that the breaker wont trip? i was told use a surge protector... anyway, thnx for ur inputs guys..

Find the wattage of each machine and add together to get a total wattage. Remember volts times amps equals watts. So a slot machine using 5 amps of current is using a total of 600 watts (120vac times 5 amps). Someone here probably either knows the current draw or the total wattage used by BB1 slots. I don't own one and have no idea. Hope this helps a little.

If you draw too much and pop a breaker - power goes off, this has nothing to do with a surge. In the rare event that a major facility (ie cement plant) shuts off, their abscence of draw causes a sudden surge of power which then bumps your 110/120 to 150/160 for a brief amount of time potentially damaging equipment. Other surges occasionally occur from lightning. Title: Re: How many BB1/WMS would be OK on the same 20amp circuit?? Post by: rickhunter on January 16, 2014, 11:37:34 AM The power rating on my BB1 is rated at 300 watts. You need to add about nother 100 watts for llights and a little headroom.
