Fire Alarm System capacity
(OP)
Hello,
Assuming the FAS control panel, annunciator panel and various initiation and notification devices are on the same 15A breaker. How many initiation and notification devices would be a threshold limit for 15A breaker.
Thank you.

MiketheEngineer's answer is the best. We can't tell you. It depends on the manufacturer of the fire alarm system, the manufacturer of the horn/strobe, the manufacturer and type of the notification appliance power supply, and the number of devices currently on the system. It also depends on how the system is zoned for notification on alarm.
The answer to your question is "somewhere between 1 and 300."
Good on ya,
