Answer:1725 watts

Explanation: Household devices are required to run at 110-125 volts and most are rated at 115 volts so 1725 watts for a 15 amp cord or circuit. You will have to be careful when adding outlets for a 15 amp breaker. Always be sure to consult a licensed electrician before DIY electrical work.
