can the outlet be used with a 20 amp line

You could, but you would be at risk of a fire within the pole, at worst otherwise it could overheat and melt the wire, if you had it connected to a 20 amp breaker and only then if you plug in something that pulls over 15 amps. The wire size, coming out of the receptacle is for a 15 amp (#16 wire) it would be #14 for 20 amp. Bottom line is you are good as long as you don't connect anything requiring over 15 amps.

No, I would not recommend this, unless you have an electrician check out the circuit breaker and wire size.

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.

Yes you can use this unit. Make sure you have it on at least a 25 amp breaker.

Hi Lynn,This will work! How many Amp of current comes out from the receptacle is base on how much your application will use however, the maximum is 20 Amp from this receptacle.let me know if you have more questions!Tony1-877-267-3711

I'm sure you'll get some more informative responses than I'm able to give, but I would not recommend it. If you know someone who can check your wiring to see if it can support a 20 amp circuit, I'd pursue that.

yes mine is on a 20 amp breaker in the house with a line ran to garage with a 20 amp screw in fuse n i have no problems

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.

The majority of an AVERAGE household's high-amperage draw items (air conditioner, washer, dryer, refrigerator, portable heater, hair dryers, microwaves, toasters) do not draw more than 15 amps. That has been the standard for all the houses I have been in. Yes, there are items you *might* need 20 amp service for, but they would be the exception to the normal.

Works with any 30 amp 4 prong device. It has a male and female end. It will not work with a 20 amp connector

Yes. It's a tight fit if there are more than 2 lines from the outlet box, but it can be done.

NO, be certain to use a good DC power supply. I use a 20 Amp supply and it works fine with this supply.

Yes you can. I did this exact same thing with mine. One of my 20amp breakers was damaged during shipment and I had them send me a 15amp replacement instead. Both red and black wires are 12 AWG for both the 20amp & 15amp breakers. 12 AWG wires can handle up to 20amps. You can have to large of wire for the breaker but you don't want to large of breaker for the wire. Ex. If you had 14 AWG running to a 15 amp breaker in your main panel and wired that into one of the 20 amp breakers on this panel. You would not want to do this. Anyways, hope this helped.

There is no connection on the ends to connect them together. You would have to make a splice (which unless you are an electrician is a bad idea). Also, if you get any longer than 240' you will not be able to run on a standard 20 amp outlet (the amperage of most outlets is determined by the wire run and the breaker that the wire is attached to).

I'm running mine on a 40 amp breaker... But it also came with a 120v 20 amp adaptor so you could run it on a regular outlet with limits to output..

As far as I'm aware you need to know if you want a 15 or 20amp outlet. My understanding is 15 amp is more common. Check that the unit is not close to a sink or any other water source as then you would need a different type of outlet. Otherwise I followed instructions from a YouTube video and found it very straight forward.

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.

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