how much power does it have? Will it need more than 16 amp circuit?

I don't understand exactly what you are asking but I can tell you I use it by plugging it in a regular outlet. It doesn't need any special plugs or connections. I use it quite a bit. The kids love it. I do a kids friendly version of raclette by using waffle fries or regular boiled potatoes and add canadian bacon, bacon, salami, or ham that you can crisp on top plus I use a variety of cheeses to please everyone. I may not be a "purist" but everyone loves raclette night and everyone eats a lot.

It does not need additional supply, however, I would buy cheap UPS (from Costco) so that it can stay up for for few minutes.I would check the Amp requirement on your circuit as they do consume a bit more power.I am running 4 of them at my shop.Thanks

Yes, unless your fridge use more than 16 Amps, this means power over ~200 watts

In theory, 11.8 amps. I wouldn't use it for anything much over 8 or 9 amps - that gives you almost a 1000 watts of power. Remember, 1000 watts means you will be drawing over 80 amps from your battery!

it works pretty good, I ran it off a 20 amp circuit with no problems. good product for the price.

Requires 20.amp circuit so probably a shade over 10 amp but did not look for a plate on machine for specifics.

This is what i found at cyberguys.com: 16AWG, 1625 watts (13.5 amps at 120 volts).

It will power more than that. It is the best one I have ever used and quieter than all others.

around 40-50 amps, when it runs for a long time it takes a little more because it heats up. I have been using it daily since I got it and only blew out 1 of the 40 Amp fuses just recently. This thing needs a lot of power and will kill batteries if you let it.

it's 65watts, so it all depends what else you are running. I'd suggest to use a power supply calculator online to figure it out.

I just checked, and it's 100 watts, which would make it just under 1 amp. Plenty of power for everything I've done with it.

thank you all for your response. I now understand what I need, at least 8 amps power supply ...enjoy your weekend!!!! :_)

20 amp, but there are adapters. Depending what you want to run it may or may not power what you want though. For instance, you might not be able to power a large air conditioner...or even a small one if much else is running

Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. The unit uses a 15amp fuse. Given that the usable output should be up to 180watts

Regardless of what some have said. YES you need a 20 amp circuit outlet to get the amps full power. If use the standard 15 amp, you will not get the full power from the amp.

yes it will work very well.the item is rated for 20 amps but the circuit breaker feeding that item will only allow 16 amps on a steady basis. i use these in my electrical service business and find them a good product if applied properly.
