    I keep it at 3, maybe 4 tops. Like right know, my 4 games are on 1 circuit. Do they all 4 get played at once EVER? No, but 4 is my comfort zone. I prefer not to push current to its theoretical limit of 15A. If I am pushing 8A-9A on a 15A breaker, I feel that's plenty. YMMV though.

    Quoted from HighVoltage:

    Oh yes, the WCS was LED'd... that's a good point. I should measure some non-LED'd.
    Interesting variety of experience so far. Would really like to know who's triggered a breaker and the circumstances!

    I did, but it was a different home - 15 A circuit - 5 connected and I think 4 of the 5 being played at once.

    With 20A, you shouldn't have a problem with 8-9 pins per breaker.
