• Circuit Overloading: Consideration should be given to the connection
of the equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that overloading of
circuits might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Consider

be maintained. Pay particular attention to supply connections other than
direct connections to the branch circuit (for example, use of power strips).
