I’m running 1 TAZ5 and 1 TAZ 6 right now. I bought 2 more TAZ6 during the promotion. Am I going to be okay running all 4 on a 15 Amp circuit breaker?
My lights flicker a little bit right now during use but I read its because of my OG Taz5’s powersupply and the heated bed’s low PWM.
Please advise Cheers
According to the specs for the TAZ 6:
Average Current Draw: 5.3 Amps (US), 2.65 Amps (EU)
Also, I’m not an electrician but running a circuit at or near capacity for an extended period of time would concern me, unless I absolutely knew it was properly wired.

And if you run near the limit there is always the risk that the breaker trips and it ruins all four prints. I would give it at least a bit of margin.
2 is the correct answer.
In a given circuit and average amp draw is rated to 80% of the listed circuit maximum. IE 18 amps on a 20 amp breaker, or 12 on a 15 amp breaker.
much thanks everyone! Safe 3D printing to you all
