30 Amp Breaker Question


I want to move my system into another room. The room has three outlets and a lighting fixture. The circuit traces back to a 30 amp breaker in the box. Is there any problem using a 30 amp breker circuit with audio gear? I know a 20 amp dedicated line is better, and that will come later.

check your wireing. 30 amp breakers are usually 220v. and
require 10g. wire.if you have 12 or 14g. wireing, replace that breaker with a 15 or 20 amp as per wire size. you are
looking at a potential disaster if you don't have the
proper wires.it's just not worth it.use a dedicated line
if you feel you need it, but make sure you check that
wireing.breakers are for safety. remember that.
Hi, why do you say a 20 amp is better. I just installed a dedicated line and went with a 30 amp breaker and that was to code. We used 10 gage 3 wire with a ground and broke the tabs on the hot side so each is its own circuit.Hope this is right. Sounds nice.
Maybe I shouldn't have said better. all of the suggestions I see for dedicated line is to use 20 amp breakers, is all.

The breaker is a 30 amp breaker, labelled as such on service panel. It is not 220v, measures a steady 122.7 on my Rat Shack voltmeter. Not sure the guage of wire, guess I will have to check.
Holy shit, Johnhifi! What are you driving your loudspeakers with, an ARC welder?!
