Wattage limits for each XP8 outlet?

[anthonymckay]

I currently run two 300W heaters connected to an inkbird temp controller. I'd like to use the hydros as a failsafe for that in the event that the inkbird fails and have the XP8 cut it off. Can a single outlet of the XP8 handle two 300W heaters connected through an inkbird?

The limit on a single outlet is 8 amps or a total of 14 amps. I normally try and stay below 75% of absolute maximum on any circuit. That would be 6 amps. The current on 600 watts is about 5 amps. That does not figure the initial current when the heaters are cold. Is there a way to configure the InkBird so both heaters do not come on at exactly the same time? That would help if you can. I only have two 50 watt heaters and they are on seperate XP8 outlets not for the current but for redundancy. Each turns on at .1 degrees difference so they still do not turn on simultaneously. As an example one of my 50 watt heater draws 50.0 watts at .419 amps on the XP8.
