Be prepared to blow that breaker often. A 20amp circuit with a 5000 and
just a few other things and just 3 blades on it would regularly trip a
breaker in our lab area. We had to get a dedicated circuit for the 5k.
It seems like they go up and down on the load put on the circuit as
different things happen. I believe during the boot process they can
spike a bit as this was the usual time the breaker would trip.
Good luck
