It is overkill, but a full string can really punish the circuit breaker with enormous current surges. Better to overdo it with a breaker that can handle the spike of all eight 3420s deciding to do some reversing within a few seconds of each other. Even a simple setup with a 3803 and a single 3420 will create large surges that a household circuit may not like much. -- Will
