Electrical Question

I am having a problem with my electricity, i am running 1 1000w light a 6in inline fan also three other oscillating fans.. every now and then the breaker will go off, my question is.. is it possible to add more power to the breaker and it be safe or any suggestions would be helpful thank you

It is definitely possible to get more power, but it sounds like you will need a new 15A breaker and it sounds like you are going to need some help from an electrician. Remember, most grow rooms that burn down are from improperly installed electrical wiring!

sounds like everything is on the same circuit in the room, that's why your breaker is tripping. the easiest thing to do is to have your 1000w on it's own dedicated circuit. usually a room is on it's own circuit so you can plug your ballast in there then run an extension from another room to power your fans.
don't mess with the breaker because your wire in the walls isn't rated for more then 15 amps and the circuit is only as strong as the weakest link.

your breakers are tripping because you have to much of a load on that circuit. Your probably pushing over the limit of your breaker. And no you can't add more power to that circuit. If you increase the size of that breaker for that circuit and then add more of a load...your wire (probably 14 ga ) will melt and start a fire before the breaker will trip. in the panel.

Kike the poster above stated, seperate your 1000w and run a HEAVY DUTY extension cord from another room that has a seperate circuit and don't put anything else on it. Cause your 1000w watter is drawing about 9.5 amps by itself
