It depends on how much current each computer draws. An average rating for a computer power supply for a home computer is about 250 watts. A 20 amp circuit breaker can handle about 8 of this type of computer.

What would happenif you put an 8 amp circuit-breaker in a power circuit?

If you put an 8 amp circuit-breaker in a power circuit that draws more than 8 amps, the circuit-breaker would trip or disconnect the circuit to prevent overheating and potential fire hazards. It is important to always use the correct amperage rating for circuit-breakers to ensure safe operation of electrical circuits.


How many iMac computers on a 20 amp circuit?

The iMac is very energy efficient. A typical iMac will draw around 150-200 watts when in use so you can easily connect 8 iMacs to a 20 amp circuit. This would equate to a 80% draw on the circuit. I would not recommend any more than 8. That is assuming nothing else is on that circuit.


What is 8 times 8 in exponential notation?

It is written as: 88 meaning 8 to the power of 8 (8x8x8x8x8x8x8x8=) On older computers, often without a superscript key: 8^8 means the same.


Can a 30 amp circuit breaker supply 8 computers?

A typical PC might use 200-300 watts, a laptop might use 40-60 watts. A 30-amp circuit can supply 3600 watts on a 120 v system (US) or 7200 watts on a 240 v system (Europe), so 8 typical/average computers should be all right.


In The USA How many outlets can be hooked up on a 20 amp circuit?

Rule of thumb is about 8 unless it is a dedicated circuit. The NEC has no requirements on the number of receptacles that can be on a circuit in a residential setting. The circuit should be layed out to only cover 500 sq. feet. A single room of 500 sq. feet, you could put as many receptacle as you want on one circuit.


How many computers can hook up to a 20 amp breaker?

Each computer will have an amperage rating. Using 80% rule for continuous load you should not exceed 16 Amps total. You'll have to add in your monitor power as well. Your start up current can be slightly higher due to bringing discs up to speed. A typical desktop might draw from 2 to 3 amps. Depending on type a monitor may draw from 1 to 3 amps. A typical laptop may draw 1.5 amps from charger.
