The reason I asked is because I had read this "Also realize that 2000w is about all you are going to get from any single household 120v outlet; household breakers are usually either 15 or 20 amps (remember the "West Virginia Law" W = VA. So with a 120volt system you would have 15 x 120 = 1800watts on a 15 amp breaker or 20 x 120 = 2400 watts on a 20 amp breaker. It's a bad idea to push this to the limit also."

So thats why I asked.
