AMPERE AND REQUIRED BREAKER 

Verify that your installation is safe.

This calculator helps to know totality of amperes used by your ballasts and bulbs on one circuit.
It also tells you the minimum power required of the circuit breaker to prevent overload so that your installation remains safe.


The rule of 80% must be respected to avoid circuit overload.

Moreover, this calculator takes into account the type of ballast used (electronic, magnetic or neon type).
You will notice that electronic ballasts use less amps that magnetic ballasts, which allows to put more on the same circuit.
