You are good to go as long as you don't have lots of other stuff on the same circuit. Plug in a small microwave with that and you will blow a fuse.

us electrical code is a max of 1000 watts per circuit.

that equates to about 10 amps, with 5 amps left for saftey.
15 amp household circuit

a commercial circuit can go 20 amps so your safe with about 1500 watts per circuit.

just woundering, is this web site slow loading for anyone else, man ittakes a long time for the pages to laod for me ????

Most US codes say that 15 amp circuits are lighting use. And 20 amp circuits are appliance use.

I chase sparks, and this little point right here is hard to explain and understand. Where I live, for instance, you can have 7 lights or recepticles on a 15 amp circuit. But, a 20 amp circuit is only allowed 5 recepticles because it is used for appliances.

So the kitchen has:
2 20 amp appliance circuits
1 15 amp light circuit
1 220v 30-50 amp range circuit
1 15-20 dedicated refridge circuit
1 20 amp circuit shared by the dishwasher and garbage disposer

OK, so that is more than you REALLY wanted to know. C-ya.
