I have a 15 Amp fuse in my car. Is this adequate for this smart car pot?

Specs on this say it draws 8 amps- you should be fine. This takes 10 minutes or more to heat a pot of water. Just plan ahead- I am now using a gas grill on my boat for heating water, but this will get the job done.

I'd suggest a circuit with a 20amp minimum. Preferably 25-30amp. Theses heaters draw a lot of power. (And no, its not a good idea to put a 25-30amp fuse in what was intended to be a 15amp circuit. The wiring is a smaller gauge and can't handle the current)

I had to look up the power point that I use in the owner's manual & it is 30A. Sorry I couldn't help.

So I'm not sure exactly sure but I hooked it up to a 2 AMP fuse. I did this because i took apart the car charger (the one that came with my radar detector) and inside of it it had a 2 AMP fuse. I figure that's what i should use.

It depends on how much power your car heater uses. This is a 12AWG cord, which can carry 15 Amps without overheating. If your heater has a standard 3-prong plug then it draws less than 15 Amps so you should be fine with this cord.

I looked up the fuse size on Crutchfield and it is a 15 amp fuse in this amp. Crutchfield recommends running a dedicated power wire to this amp from your battery. I would agree with them.

I don't know how many amps it is pulling, but I have not blown a fuse in my car - there is a fuse inside of the connector and that should blow before a fuse in your vehicle does.

should be less than 15A. the wire gauge is thin and plugs into a cigg socket which also are often 15A mine is now in storage for 3 years so i cant check the fuse.

It comes with a 15 amp, 125 volt fuse, so it is pulling less than 15 amps. I hope this helps answer your question.

I don't know how many amps it draws, but I have not blown any fuses in my car.

You can look it up online or in your manual. It looks like it's 15 amp. Also it would be good to check if there are many functions powered by the same fuse because that could cause issues.

The unit is well built. I'm running it as 30A per fuse with no troubles. If it were total that would be less than 5a per fuse which is pretty useless.

Not sure of the wattage but put a 15 amp fuse in your vehicle it blew my fuse.

The unit is 12 Volt, 2 Amp plug in. There is not an external fuse, maybe internal. If installed in a 12 Volt car, it would be prudent to install at least a 5 Amp fuse in line.

If it is wired properly you should only need a 10amp fuse. If there is too many items on the supply line then it may blow fuse. It should be listed in the instructions what the max fuse size is

I installed the heater in my old 1976 beettle and it Works great. I don´t think that is necessary to put a new higher amps fuse. Plinio

you are running on a 12 volt system I use 15 amp fuses, but I check my draw and output accordingly and don't push more than I need or run more circuits and have switches, like 6 flood lights and a separate circuit for appliances/tools, depends on your 12 volt battery, a trolling motor steady draw or a faster high output for tools with a short draw.

Standard 15 amp out is fine. That's what I have mine plugged into without issue.

Tripplite's website shows that at full load it consumes 200 amps. If you plan on using it fully loaded, you may want a slightly larger fuse than 200, or use a circuit breaker. Fuse size also depends on the size and length of wiring you use to connect it to
