Question about wattage

Hello, I have a question that seems to be troubling me as I hear around how overkilling your breaker can be a pretty devastating thing. I just recently purchased the Herpstat 1 sometime last week and I am aware of its wattage (900 watts if anyone wants to know). I have it hooked up with a 4 tub rack with 4" heat tape that is about 70 to 140 watts. I also have the Herpstat connected with a failsafe Ranco thermostat that I had pre-wired with heavy duty 15 amp cord at their website. With all those electronics connected, they are followed up with a Tripp Lite surge protector. I know this may all sound complicated, and I'm very sorry for that, I'm trying to be as detailed so everyone can get a visual of what my set up is. Is this too overpowering? I just don't want to start fires, lol.

If your talking about the breakers for your house its more about amps then watts, and none of what you mentioned is even close to being more then typical wiring can handle. your only real risk of fire is bad/frayed wires, the breaker will trip long before you over power the lines to the point of causing a fire

Well, I guess that's a good thing then, lol. Sorry about the ignorance, I'm obviously an electrical expert on electrical things. :rolleyes:

No problem at all
