i need some advise very badly. since the inception of my grow, iv been plagued by the fucking circuit breakers always tripping! i did several combinations of equipment on different breakers, but to no avail. it seems like i cant find a solution. i don't know much about circuit breakers or residential electricity at all. what i do know is this. im running a total of 2800 watts (approximately). (4) 400 watt HID's (1) 1000w AC (1) circulating fan (1) small in-line. one circuit breaker is a total bitch, lets say thats circuit A. circuit B is alot more hearty, however most of the appartment is connected to this breaker. My apartment is a one bedroom, with kichen and living room. circuit A has almost all the outlets in the bedroom, including the closet and bathroom lights+outlets (before grow, I had between 0-60 watts running through A at any given time) . Circuit B has everything else in the house, including the kitchen lights+outlets, the living room lights+outlets, and ONE SINGLE outlet in the BR that has so far saved my ass (between 400-1150 watts at any giving time on all those, including about 650 watts in the BR from my computer). you think i would be able to use A to power a substantial amount of my needs...not so. i cant even put the AC and 1 light on that circuit before it trips!! thats roughly 1440 watts. for about 10 days now, putting the AC and 1 light on A worked perfectly, and putting 3 lights connected to B (on the same outlet as the computer) worked awesome aswell, EVEN with the TV, computer and a few lights in the living room ALL ON! today though, is another story. THE LITTLE BITCH BREAKER, A, IS TRIPPING AGAIN for no apparent reason! is there anything i can do?? HELP!!
