Again.... check the nameplate rating on the refrigerator. If it's running on that circuit and so is the studio gear, keep on trucking.


My new, really big refrigerator only pulls 5 amps from the circuit. Don't worry about the starting draw of the compressor since most circuit breakers are time delayed specifically for that purpose. Meaning, most breakers will support considerably more than their rated for during the brief inrush current of a compressor or motor starting up.

I've seen some go well up to double for a half second as a motor started. As long as it drops back quickly, all is good and the breaker doesn't trip.

Don't run a drop cord up the steps. It's not needed and it makes for a very dangerous tripping hazard for people.
