Which Circuit to use for Legacy base

Greg, I don’t know who starts the rumors of the base and bricks but as long as your house is properly grounded you can put them all on the same circuit. 
My Legacy layout is 20 x 30 wired this way with absolutely no problems. I even have two power strips connected to each other. Enjoy

Rod is 100% correct.  Plug it in with your transformers.  As Rod has done, I have been plugging my base in with my transformers for years.  Be aware that some surge protectors will cause issues with the Legacy signal so bear that in mind if you are using one.

Where every you plug them into, make sure you have good ground.

Greg, I agree with these fellows, base and Powerhouses all on the 20 amp circuit. Mine all plug into a good grade surge protector, absolutely no problems. I would also recommend the gunrunnerjohn/Dale Manquen signal booster for trouble free operation.

No problem with the transformers and command base on the same circuit, just make sure the command base has a GOOD grounded outlet.  As mentioned, no surge protector between the command base and the outlet.

GRJ, I was not aware of this. As mentioned, no surge protector between the command base and the outlet. May I ask why as I have been doing this for three years with no problem. My system is piggybacked onto my DCS system. Do I need to make up a box with a DPDT switch just for the Command base Legacy System so I can turn it off without going under the table to unplug it?

There have been numerous documented instances where the surge protector compromised the signal from the command base.  On the flip side, I've seen the command base running through a surge protector with no issues, obviously the internal design of the surge strip determines if there will be an issue.

GRJ Thank You for explaining that. I feel a lot better now. Man I was nervous when I saw that comment.

One 115 volt circuit does most everything.   Legacy base is added to this.   (6) duplex outlet usually does it all, unfortunately some of the wall warts hog space. A couple of Z4000's, also plug-in.    Power is the 12 gauge pink cord, yellow cord ends.  

One of the problems with more than (1) 115 volt circuit is phasing.  Another lengthy discussion not necessary, just use one circuit.  IMO, Mike CT

Thanks, So everything into one 20 amp circuit.   Is it ok to plug the ZW-L into the surge protected power strip?   Just not the Legacy or I assume Dale/Gunner signal booster?  LMK.

The TMCC buffer doesn't care about the surge protector, it gets it's ground from the tether on the command base power lead.  It's only the TMCC or Legacy command base that might be affected by a surge protection strip.
