The heater is rated for 1500W at full power and I only keep it at about half that to take the chill out of the air using about 6.5A, the power never tripped and the cords and wiring never got hot or warm even, could this have been a Fluke? Did I get lucky? I've totaled my wattage to be at 9.783A total draw with these settings (heater at 65/70°F, monitor and game system and one overhead bulb on). From my knowledge as long as one stays underneath the 75% max usage draw of that breaker and circuit (in the case of the 15A which at 75% would be 11.25) shouldn't everything be OK? Just really curious on the details at hand.
