Is 20 amps enough for a 1100 watt countertop microwave and a 8000 btu 7amp window ac unit?
We have had a 1000 watt microwave on that circuit with the window ac for a year now and the microwave over heated and shut off yesterday. The fuse box did not flip though and have never had it flip. I think the microwave just failed on it's own since the room it's in is almost 90 degrees.
Anyways, it got me thinking whether I'm over loading this circuit and maybe I should get a smaller microwave. What do you think?
