    I want to have my game room set up on four remote control outlets so I can turn on four different sections of my game room from the main doorway to the room via a remote control. Each outlet receiver module can handle a 10 amp load. I'd like to have three machines on each outlet. The machines each have over 90% LED replacement and are a mix of Williams system 6-11, bally 6803, and one LW3 (DE 1992 dmd).

    Will it be safe to run 3 pins (and maybe an old pc with a 19" LCD monitor for a MAME cab) on each 10 amp receiver module? To be clear each module is 3 prong grounded and will have a multi-outlet surge protector directly plugged into it to feed power to the pins.

    Thanks!

    Quoted from gdonovan:

    If you like I can check tonight when I get home with an amp meter. Personally I think running close to the rating (10 amp) will be problematic for longevity of the module.

    That'd be great. Thank you!

    Thanks!!! This was all very useful. I think to start I'm going to try 3 pins and one MAME cab (with LCD) on one module and see what happens. It's very rare all three machines are played simultaneously so I'm guessing around maybe 7 amps or less while all three machines are in attract mode with arcade machine on. The only other device on the circuit is a fluorescent beer sign with a 12" bulb.

    I'm not too worried about ruining the module, it only costs a few bucks and its easily replaced. I'm more concerned about electrical fire risk, but I do have this entire circuit on a 15amp AFCI breaker.
