Can I use this on a 20amp circuit?

No you can't. Operates at 23A (5600W/240V= 23.3A). You will burn down your house. Besides, the unit comes hardwired with a NEMA 6-30R plug which will not fit any 20A socket.

Unit drawers around 25 aAmps. Would trip a 20 amp breaker. I have mine plugged into a 30 amp 220 volt dryer circuit.
352722
yes with a 20 amp plug of course...... 20 amp outlets are not standard for residential so I'd make sure you know what you have and what you are buying....
352723
no, this needs to be a minimum of a 30 amp circuit with a minimum no 8 gage wire to operate properly, w/o risk of a fire.

Yes. Just use the appropriate size fuse for each circuit depending on what you have hooked up.

Less than 20 amps - I run it on a 20 circuit. Has never tripped the breaker

Won't plug into a 30amp, 20 amp breaker is fine, don't let your electrode stick and you'll have a 2 minute duty cycle

Yes to reduce the amps used in the circuit u could use the 240v circuit. It comes with the standard 120v plug.

Yes, as long as you mean 120V standard United States receptacle. The 20a circuit is ample.These are good baseboard heaters.

The manufacturer's data says that this unit draws 13 amps at 120 volts. A dedicated circuit would be nice to have, but any 20 amp circuit that is not already running a large load (refrigerator, toaster, coffee maker etc:) should be fine.

Actually #12 wire should be used with a 20Amp breaker. NEC only requires #14 to be used with a 15 amp circuit breaker. So #14 wire should be sufficient

Yes it will work. The "20 Amp" rating refers to the amperage produced by the solar panels, so if the current produced by your panels at peak efficiency is below 20 amps (and off the top of my head, it is) you will be fine. Remember to hook this up in the EXACT order as the instructions say or else it ill blow a fuse. Good luck!

no, it will not. I used this for a project to power a 20w amplifier and blew up a few of these. These I found later on were intended for LEDs. With that said most will not pull more than 0.5A. I am guessing they have a very low c value and would not be safe to pull more than 1 amp.

Assuming you have 220v service for the heater, at 2500 watts (the lowest setting) it will be pulling 11.4 amps. You could probably take the heater up to 4000 watts with a 20 amp breaker, but the reality will almost certainly be less than that before the breaker trips. Basically, I would not put this on a 20 amp breaker. Do a 30 amp breaker if you want to use the heater at its full potential.

Not exactly sure but I have mine running on a 20 amp circuit and I have had no problems as yet.

Depending on how many LEDs you're using, but 20 Guage will probably be plenty. If you use a dimmer, make sure that you're using one that is a pulse width modulator and not just a potentiometer or rheostat.

Maximum safe current would be 20 amps if both end plug connections are in good shape. House wiring 20 amp circuits are 12 gauge wire as is this cord.

I'm not qualified to answer that question. I'm not a professional. I'm using it for lighting & a bath fan. I use a 15 amp breaker with 14g wire, not a 20. I always check manufactures recommendations. There may be local codes as well to consider when running a new circuit.

I'm not sure if I understand your question. I use it in a standard 110 watt wall socket that is on a 20amp breaker

I purchased it for use with a refrigerator ................have no idea of the amps used but doubt it is near 20
