Wiring a dedicated line


I just put a didicated line in myself for my stereo. The stereo works fine but if I plug an air conditioner into it the fan in the ac unit wont come on but the lights and refridgeration unit do. The fan works in the ac unit when pluged into a different line.

Did I wire it wrong? Is the ac unit getting some power but not enough to run the fan?

I have wired before but never had this problem.

Any help would be great.

Just as a reference. The Black wire goes to the gold screw, White wire to the silver screw, and Green to the green screw. You would be quite surprised how many do not know this. I have had to correct many unsafe (incorrectly wired) receptacles. If you think thats bad you should see people try to figure out three and fourway switches.
A Journey level Electrician may bid a job and be responsable provided the job does not exceed a certain dollar amount. The amount changes by the State, here (Utah) it is $2000. You do not have to have a Master Electrician all you need is a competent Journey level to perform your work. A dedicated line should not exceed the local limits. Check with your local Hometheater installers and ask who they use.
