Siemens 20 amp breaker for dedicated lines


Hello,

Which kind of Siemens 20 amp breakers do you recommend for dedicated lines. GFCI or regular? standard trip or arc fault?

I am planning to run 3 120V lines with total 6 outlets. I may buy a conditioner for source equipment and plug monoblocks directly into the other two dedicated lines.

I have 2 x 200 amp panels. Each panel has two columns of breakers and from what I gather, alternate rows are same phase.  

Thanks!!

Standard. GFCI is nothing but headaches. And do NOT run 3 lines. Run ONE. Nobody needs more than one line. But hey, don't take my word for it. Listen to Mikey Fremer. https://ultimist.com/video/2018/07/21/michael-fremers-listening-room/
Skip to 15:50 Everything should be on one line.
also get your sensitive analog gain stages on a leg of your panel that does NOT have motors, compressors and your PC / WiFfI on it......
Why Siemens? I assume you have a Siemens or Murray panel. If not, use the breakers recommended for your panel.

You do not need GFCI for a music room.

You many need an arc fault breaker if required by local building codes, if you are doing new construction or the panel is populated with AFI's.

Best bet: follow the advice of a licensed electrician.
