I may have misunderstood your original question. For some reason I was thinking power consumption.
Each BCM 50 will have 240 watts maximum draw. A typical 110VAC circuit will supply 15 amps. A fully loaded BCM 50 system (main with two expansion cabinets) should draw no more than 6 amps total.
So, if all you have plugged into that circuit is the BCM 50, you'll be fine. If you'll be sharing it with multiple servers or what not then you may want to look at splitting things up so you don't overload that circuit.
