Garage Build- Electric Capacity

[Shiggidy112]

Good morning everyone,

I'm building a garage simulator and I'm wondering if I have enough electric capacity to support. When we purchased the house, it had one line from the breaker supporting 2 outlets and two garage door openers. Last summer, I had another line installed to support the planned build. Meaning, I now have 4 outlets from 220 amp.

Do you think that it'll be sufficient? I need to power the Mevo+ (directly plugged in, no circuit breaker), a laptop, an iPad, a TV, projector, WiFi extender, a refrigerator, space heater or air conditioner (rarely).

Thanks for any feedback.

I'm no electrician, but that should be plenty. When i finsihed my garage last spring, I had a pro install a subpanel in mine. It's only 110V, but I haven't had any issues with it. I have a dedicated breaker for my heater, but I've run tons of stuff ( although I don't have a sim built yet) without any issues.

edit: the only advice I want to give is that if you're running a space heater, plug it directly into a wall socket. Running one of those through a power bar is a recipe for disaster.

The circuit breaker protects the cable, the cable has a rated current it can carry. Too much and it gets hot. That is why you have different cross sectional areas of cable. The bigger the cable, the more. current it can carry. The circuit breaker is designed to operate before you overstress your cable.
not sure where you are but in new zealand our mains are 230volt ac, lighting circuits generally protected my 10amp breaker, power circuits 16 or 20 amp breakers. It is good practice to have a separate circuit and breaker for your heater/air conditioner and dont dont use a mulitibox with your fridge.
But other than that in your case with 2 circuits if protected properly you should be ok.
