I am adding a little mini fridge to my garage/shop and trying to determine which circuit to go with. I have 2 circuits of 15A 120v and 1 circuit of 20A 120v. One of the 120 lines services most of my machines, the other services the lighting. Right now, the ONLY thing on the 20A line is the shop vac which is part of the dust collection I use. Also have a dedicated DC circuit for a full dust collector.
Should I run the fridge (15A required) on a new installed outlet on the 20A circuit or off a new outlet on the lights circuit? Do you think I will have any issues with blowing fuses? I used to have a REALLY little fridge running on the main 15A line with my machines and I never blew a circuit there, but this one is a bit bigger fridge. Do I have anything to worry about here?
