[Amps] AC wiring

[Rob & Terri Sherwood]

I have a question about the wire size issue.  I have one Alpha at shack 
#1 and two at shack #2, and each has its own 240 volt circuit.  I doubt 
that they draw over 11 amps (at 240 volts), assuming 1500 watts out. 
What is the need for over a 20 amp circuit, assuming a normal length 
circuit run?
