how many feet of track lighting can i install per junction box?

Answer 1

All you want. The question is how many heads can you put on the track. You circuit connects to a breaker, the breaker is probably 15Amps.

if each head has a 60W bulb @110V, which is ~.5A per head.

So, you could put about 30 heads per breaker.

Answer 2

Be carefull. Knowing half the information is more dangerous than not knowing anything. It is correct that Volts x Amps = Watts, BUT, if you have a 20 amp circuit (15 amp is more likely) you have to know what else is being drawn from that circuit. Turn off the breaker and list everything that it control's. add up the wattage of everything loading that circuit. Then you can add heads to the track light (number of linear footage is irrelivant) only up to 80% of its total capacity. So for example a 20 amp breaker gives 2200 total wattage capacity but 80% of that is 1760watts. That is the maximum wattage you should put on that breaker.

Answer 3

the track is not the issue, it's the wattage of the fixtures... your breaker is either 15 or 20 amps...
The conversion of Watts to Amps is governed by the equation Amps = Watts/Volts

For example 12 watts/12 volts = 1 amp

Answer 4

Depends on the circuit ampacity. Depends on how many light fixtures and the lamp wattage.

Answer 5

I'm thinking it depends on how many heads you put on and how many watts it requites....20 amp breaker should be about 2200 watts if I remember correctly

Answer 6

Idk a lot
