So do any of you have more than one laser hooked up to your same circuit. I have a dedicated 15 amp. And if so what hours are your lasers. I have a 60 watt. A 50 watt. And soon to have one more laser low wattage as well.

I've only the one CO2 and one Fiber. They each have their own separate circuit, and my chiller has a separate one and so does the blower.
Now my fiber shares my computer, two monitors, and my old HP laser printer. No issue with these operating together. I would expect I could put all of the CO2 stuff on once 15 amp also, but I had the outlets and circuits already there. I would think just three lasers would work. But I would invest in a kill a watt to check out actual usage

So during the winter when I have my heaters on, some times when I run the saw I trip the power. I run my laser on a different circuit so it does not shut off when that happens. I am pretty good about turning off the heaters when I run the saw, but on occasion I forget. So I want my second laser not to turn off when this happens. So if I can run my second on the same 15amp circuit that would be great. Now I just have to worry about the 3rd I ordered?

Usually today 20 amp circuits with #12 wire and ground wire of course is the standard for a outlet circuit. Back in the day, 15 amp was considered normal. Lots of older homes with #14 wire and 15 amp fuses or circuit breakers around however.
