Unless you have an ammeter you don't really know how many amps you're pulling. A malfunctioning device can be pulling a higher load.
Turn your setup on, then goto the breaker box and shut off breakers one at a time until you find the one that is hooked up to your setup. Plug a recepticle tester or a desklamp into the outlet that sparked while your setup breaker is powered down. If that recepticle is dead, while your setup circuit is dead, then yes, you are overloading the circuit or their are other problems.
In that case, disconnect your setup or move it to another circuit that is heavier duty(you will be able to tell on the breakers(higher amp load means heavier duty circuit, usually), or one that has less of a load on it. If lightbulbs on that circuit are dying with frequency, the breaker is popping, or your equipment is acting inconsistantly, you are probably overloading the circuit and need to find a better solution.

Well well, I check my trich salvage casing and BAM, I see mycelium poking through =)
 That's cube mycelium and not cobweb, right? I know it's an oft asked question, but I had to ask! I patched right after I took the photo, and left the cellophane that I had on it before off.

lol it looks like a weird coastline or beach to me with a bunch of driftwood on it! lol Sorry.
It's hard to tell, but it looks white and fuzzy. I would say 'don't be afraid of ghosts'. More than likely it's myc.

It's been in fruit mode for two days now. =) The casing surface was a bit dry to the touch, cause I've been heating it with a ceramic heat emitter, which I unplugged today, but I hope the dryness didn't do too much damage. How long does anyone estimatre till pins form?

And these are eight jars for the original bulk project two days after G2G. I'm impressed; I'm definitely a G2G advocate now.

Looks very good to me. I'd make sure that casing isn't too dry. Pin time estimate: Not from me, no sir!

The hygrometer says the RH is 75 (which is way too low, I know), BUT...
I was beaming a ceramic heat emitter at the rear wall of the fruiting chamber, which happens to be the same wall the hygrometer is mounted on, so the wall was heating up and causing the hygrometer to dry, giving a false (way low) reading. It can't be 75 because there's half an inch of water there and a bunch of perlite, and condensation is visible on every wall of the FC, except for the wall being heated. I read that the condensation (medium sized drops) is an indicator of sufficient humidity, no?

Condensation only indicates that the inner and outer temperatures are different. 
Let it settle a bit and check your hygrometer. Did you make sure your hygrometer was working properly beforehand? Hopefully you did, cause it's always nice to be able to trust it.

Yeah, I think I see some knots/rhizomorphic growth...some, but not a lot.

I'm not the guy to ask about what's visible there.  I'm only regurgitating what I've read.

Lookin good to me, be patient! You aren't still using that IR light on it are you?
Temps inside that box should be 70-75.
Make sure it's getting enough FAE and has high humidity. Avoid misting onto the casing directly.

Man, these shrooms seem to be growing awfully slow, or maybe it's just me. Today is the third day since pins emerged.
 There are zillions of pins, but only the largest ones are visible due to the flash.

Sometimes some grows take longer to develop fruit growth. Nice stuff. Im trying G2G tomorrow for the first time. Kinda nervous about contams.

Thanks.
Akira, supposedly with G2G's you don't have to worry as much about contams since the myc already has a head start. Incidentally, those 8 jars I G2G'd last week for the bulk project ALL have lipstick mold. I'm not worried though; since all the jars are at >85% colonization I'm betting on the myc kicking the lipstick's ass. Also, I did some research on lipstick (genus Sporendonema) and they don't produce toxins. In fact, the biggest concern in the food industry about lipstick mold is that it causes food to lose value because it makes the food look undesirable, nothing more, so I see no reason to toss the jars if the myc covers it. Hell, the casing that's fruiting now was done with two triched jars. I think the stigma against contamed jars is way too high.
