My 15A breaker supports 1 S3 and 2 S5 or 1540W/120V=12.8A which allows it enough margin to be happy.

I believe it is 20A.. hmm.. could also be the refrigerator on the circuit when the compressor kicks on? Tongue

But I would like some clarification:
-For the SP20 what role does Watts play vs Volts (yes I know one is power and one is potential but how does that translate into performance)
-For the S5 what role does Frequency play?
Yes, refrigerators, microwave ovens, stereos, etc, all have an impact on a shared circuit, they all draw current, just as do miners!  If you didn't pick it up from my above calculations, Power = Volts(roughly constant) x Current(depends on load).  For any miner, the higher the clock setting, the more current draw and hence more power consumption.
