Torus Vs. Torus

 Question for James,Considering the 15a,20a Torus,on the back the bank of outlets are one(bank,or all have access to the
same amount of Amperage).The 45a has 3 breakers on the front and also 3 banks of outlets on the back.
If i had say 3X7b-ssts on one bank,do the amps have access to the 45a :scratch:

Hi,

The individual banks are in parallel but each back would be limited to the 15 amps. So in your case put each 7B on a separate bank.

Thanks James,seeing that,maybe I should've went with a 60a.
It was already ordered,I thought i could use my 20a for the components and the 2X4B-ssts,
and the 45a for the sub +7B-ssts(65a Total)I could pay the shipping fees on the 45 and reorder a 60a.
I use the 4bs for the surrounds,which I'm sure they won't want much.
James the the 60a should be about right for the 3X7Bs.

                     I'M NOT SMART,BUT I LIFT HEAVY THINGS :duh:

That sounds Ok - the 4B's will be on the separate 20 amp unit and the three 7B's will be on the 45 amp unit on separate banks.
