I'm planning my first show for 2020 and have gotten pretty far into my setup and power requirements as I line up my purchasing plan for the year. I developed a Google spreadsheet breaking down my setup and power requirements HERE.
When I sort it out logically, I have 5 total PSU's powering the various parts of my show. These are a mix of 600W, 50A 12V and 300W, 60A, 5V. It occurred to me that the maximum Amps these power supplies would be using are 46.2, 42.12, 29.1, 30.48, and 26.52. That is the approximate draw at 100% white. The circuit breakers on my home range from 15A-20A. So any one of these PSU's would trip a breaker in my home if I were to go to 100% white. A couple of them would trip a circuit even if I went to 50%. Am I right about this? If so, what am I doing wrong in my planning? Should I be splitting this out across many more PSU's and circuits in my home? If so, I'm thinking I'm going to have a problem running all of those extension cords to the various plugs in my home just to get on different circuits. Any help educating me on this topic is greatly appreciated!
