I am planning to run a dedicated circuit for my home theater system. Currently I have a 46" wall mounted LCD, and plan to soon add a Home Theater PC, which will also be my main computer. I also would like the potential to add a 5.1 or 7.1 sound system w/ amp, receiver, etc. in the future. In terms of a dedicated circuit, would this be recommended for said components, and if so, should I go with 20 amp, or 15 amp? I figured 20 amp would be best, and not worry about it, but this raises some issues to me. Firstly, most surge protectors are rated for 15 amps. If I ran 20 amp wire and breaker, then just plugged everything into a 15 amp surge protector, wouldn't the 20 amp circuit be pointless? I assume surge protectors have a built in fuse or breaker correct? Also, am I correct that I need a 20 amp outlet, if it is a dedicated outlet? How I understand it is that you can put multiple 15 amp outlets on a 20 amp circuit, but if it is a circuit dedicated to one outlet, the outlet must be 20 amps. Also, since my TV is wall mounted I plan to have a recessed outlet in the wall, then run 12 gauge wire to an inlet down near the dedicated outlet. This way I can plug my TV into the surge protector via a short extension cord from power inlet to surge protector, and basically have a built into the wall extension cord. This allows me to have all my other home theater equipment near the ground, and my TV up high w/ no wires showing, and have it all going to one surge protector. (I also plan to run coax, and HDMI etc. in the wall to built in outlets behind the TV) With this being said, would the TV outlet/inlet need to be 20 Amps as well, since it is going onto the 20 amp dedicated circuit w/ the HTPC and audio equipment? I am not sure if I can use a 15 amp outlet/inlet, because the TV will not be pulling the 20 amps. Is this a code violation, because someone could come along and plug in a power strip, and overload the 15 amp outlet while not tripping the 20 amp breaker? Thanks, Richard
