go to your breaker box... it should have some sort of labels or diagram... then they should say 10,15,20 amp... multiply that by 120 is the amount of watts you can put on that circuit
Not quite that simple. Who knows what's been done to the electrical in the last 45 years. Some dumbass may have replaced a 15amp breaker with a 20 because he kept blowing the 15 and is too stupid to realize that the 15 was there to keep him from burning down his house. And then the OP puts a 20 amp load on it(which is too much even for a 20) and catches the wiring on fire in his wall.
OP, if you're looking at a serious operation, I'd look into spending a couple hundred bucks on an electrician to make sure your wiring and breakers are properly sized. Maybe you have him install a few dedicated 240v plugs, PSUs wil generally be more efficient on 240 than 120. Also, never load a circuit more than 80% for continuous operation. So a 15amp circuit should stay around 12amps.
Get yourself a killawatt, it's cheap and incredibly handy to determine what your usage is for a particular machine.
Don't burn your house down to mine a few coins.....
Good luck!
