57.30% of people are white, 23.60% are black, 6.14% are asian, 0.41% are native american, and 10.98% claim 'Other'. 43.52% of the people in Houston, Texas, claim hispanic ethnicity (meaning 56.48% are non-hispanic).
A 15 amp breaker can supply 1800 watts total for lights, outlets, etc. (15 X 120 volts= 1800 watts). As a rule of thumb leave 20% spare in the event you connect a power hungry item - 1440 watts total.Add up the total wattage of items you plan to plug in to the circuit.here is no strict limit on how many receptacles can be connected to a 15 amp breaker in a residential property according to the NEC. The device is a convenience outlet and they are placed for convenient access to power without creating hazards [crossing doorways, etc].
