If I run this and start table saw, Is it going to pop 20 amp circuit breaker?

Depends on the HP of your saw. The dust col. is 1HP and my Delta 10" saw is 1.5HP. A HP is 746 watts (single phase) so 746Wx2.5HP=1865 Watts divided by 120 Volts = 15.54 Amps. As long as you don't start them at the same time and your breaker is in good shape (they do degrade over time), You should be OK on a 20A circuit.

I run both my table saw and dust collector at the same time on a 20 amp breaker with no problem

I wired my table saw and dust collector to the same box so when I turn the saw on it also turns the collector on. A 20 amp breaker is fine.

I dont have the package anymore, but I suspect your exceeding the amperage. Circular saw pull a lot of current. Try it just plugged into another outlet not run thru this switch, if the breaker trips, bad saw. Or your breaker is tired, old and needs replacing just strong enough for lower amperage items. Hope this helps.

I found the book that came with the unit was very helpful. Another way is looking at the major appliance ratings you are going to use the switch for. Getting it reasonably close will work fine. If you have 2 things that are hooked to 20 amp breakers split them wiring them to the red terminals, etc. Best I can do, hope it helps.

It works on my 20 amp circuit, but it will be most of the load. If it's hot outside and this is on it should be the only high-powered device on the circuit. Even a computer or two may result in it tripping.

20 amps would trip most circuit breakers. Most standard household outlets are only rated for 15 amps.

I had to run off of a circuit with a 20amp breaker since running off of a 15amp circuit repeatedly tripped the breaker. No problems with the 20amp breaker.

Yes, it will most likely draw 28 amps, but it runs off of 12 volts DC. A table saw will run off of 120 volts AC. Power is calculated as P = amps x volts. So, this will use 28 amps x 12 volts = 336 Watts. A table saw may use 1,800 Watts at 120 volts AC. This means 1,800Watts / 120 volts = 15 amps. So yes, a table saw may draw fewer amps, but it operates at 10 times the voltage. Voltage is your potential energy, amperage is the flow of that potential energy. The higher the voltage, the more potential energy there is stored between two locations. The higher the current, the faster that potential energy is being transferred.

i use mine on a daily basis on a 15 amp breaker and its alright .. but if u run it at the max setting for to long the breaker is gonna be popping every 5 min (hot welds )

20amp breaker is ideal....but ive used 15 amp breaker without many issues. Sometimes the breaker would trip...depended how long i was welding

I have the 3 hp motor. It runs on 220 volts and utilizes a 30amp plug. My electrician installed 20 amp breakers and I have had no problems.Unfortunately, there is nothing in the manual that covers this.

I believe the unit would pull 20 amps so a kitchen circuit should handle the load. Hope this helps

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

Make sure you think about the power requirements first. If you plan on using this vac and planer combo with the auto start-stop via the onboard port I would think again. This vac has a max draw of 11.6 amp during continuous use (more during startup). The planer is also a 15 amp unit, but in my experience draws about 12amp during planing operations. So, even if you have a 20 amp circuit you are probably going to trip the breaker when the vac kicks on. The onboard tool port works great for lower draw items like sanders though. Depending on how your house or shop is wired you may still have the same problem plugging into two different outlets if they are wired on the same circuit.

I doubt it, the saw dust collection chute would have to be jammed solid, you would hear the motor trying to turn(a stalled motor would make a deep hum noise) then it would pop a breaker or the GFI, if your garage is wired to a GFI. If no motor noises, with a volt meter first check power at the outlet, then check the switch for power in & out.( or you can check continuity of the switch with an ohm meter - with the saw UNPLUGED) If all tests are good then check the motor. power cords(to the switch, switch to motor) and also extension cords can go bad as well. test them all. hope this helps.

The start up is higher then it drops like all tools and devices so you should be fine. Some people have 15 amp receptacles but it may be on a 20 amp circuit

It will not work. I wouldn't use 20 gauge wire for any load greater than 1 AMP.

No, mine is running great on a regular 110 circuit. I'm not sure what the breaker amperage is for that particular circuit, but I've never had trouble tripping circuits while running this dust collector.
