I have 5 20 amp circuits in my brewing area. I'm now adding a control panel. I want to control my RIMS tube with 1500 watt element, my pump, and my exhaust fan on the panel.

I'm wondering if I need to run a second 20 amp feed to the panel or not.

1500 watts / 120v = 12.5 amps (element)
March 809 pump = About 1 amp
Hydrofarm 8" inline fan = 1.72 amps

Total = 15.22 amps

So unless I'm missing something one 20 amp line should be fine for all three, right?
