Circuit Overload Question

[StatFreak]

Random K+ alert. Everyone on this thread just got a +1 'cause I felt like it.  
No, I don't want one in return. That would spoil the fun.

I was actually an A student of mathematics...30 years ago....
Now I'm an A student of CRS...

But you can't tell me that a clean Radio Shack-type Mr. & Mrs. milk toast America measuring thingie would look better on your work bench than a Frankenstein Octopus of cables and technical gadgetry.. In fact, I'm rethinking my last post.. You should use an oscilloscope to measure the voltage instead of a VOM, but set it up just as I described, with lots of exposed 115V wires.


<ADD> I think that I quoted you before you finished typing..

Well to add a little info to this thread,   per UL and the NEC you have to add up all worst case loads and mark that on the name plate label. of course the worst case in a say typical S+ would be the hopper running, bill validate running, all light on, reels spinning and bell ringing. As we all know this can not happen  but per the code this is the way its done.
we can all thank UL and the NEC for a lot of confusions in our life's.

Yes, because "This Old House" may become "This Old Bonfire" if you don't follow the code. They are meant to prevent you from "Kevorkanizing" yourself.
