[QUOTE="ConstitutionCowboy, post: 4353244, member: 745"] Don't know if it has been said yet, but the breakers are there to protect the wiring in the house (garage) and not what is plugged into the circuit. As long as the wiring is big enough to service that which is plugged into it and the circuit breaker is the proper size to protect the wiring, it doesn't matter how small the current draw is for the device being plugged into it. Make sure, of course, the voltage is the same as for the unit being plugged into it. Don't plug a 120 volt thing into a 220 volt circuit. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZT!!! Woody [/QUOTE]
