power requirements new user

Can I get some general power usage numbers from the group. I want to wire 2 pachinko (modern LCD), 1 japanese slot, and two old pinball machines to one circuit...how much load are the modern pachinko machines? I saw 5amps on transformer...is this indicative of their draw?

any idea on older pinball machines and/or japanese slot machine?

pinballs are Grand Prix and Funhouse.

the draw isn't that much unless you are in bonus or fever rounds.

I have up to 5 pachislos on one power strip with no problems, I have 15 amp breakers.

If you're wanting to know the current draw for 110v mains voltage wiring, then I'd allow 1A for each of the pachinkos (the indicated 5A is for the 24v side of the transformers), and the same for the Pachislo, and around 4A for the pinball machines.

I have 11 pachinkos on the same breaker with no trouble at all even when 3 were fevering at the same time

A 15 amp circuit should never have a load over 75%, in this case that would be 11.25 amps. And for anyone thinking about it, no you just can't put a 20 amp breaker in.
