I read somewhere that the Mininum load is 50 Watts, is this true?

not sure about that. Usually it is the max load you have to worry about. I have 5 halogen bulbs, each 25 watts. Works fine

I have 5 low voltage (each 20 watts) undercabinet lights running from the transformer.

I am not an electrician but I also read that the minimum load was 50 watts. See: http://www.lightology.com/index.php?module=prod_detail&prod_id=17080 I have used the product for about 10 years for my low voltage lights and without a problem. The previous transformer, installed by a contractor, overheated. So I have been very happy with this product.

Can't say for sure it's 50 watts for that transformer but I know for sure the minimum load for the LET100 is 30% or 30 watts and the LET 50 is also 30% so my guess is that the LET minimum would be 45 watts. I also phoned the Mfgr. and was informed that even a load of 5-6.5W LED lamps may not work with the LET100. These transformers are designed to be specific load stabilized. Ergo, the voltage would become unstable and burnout may occur. Hope this helps!

That is what the literature says. You should buy a smaller wattage version closer to your intended usage.

No, if you read the spec i believe it says it needs 480 watts. Im using a 600 and its working fine.

I have a printer and a desktop and two hard drives plugged into my CP1500 and it draws only 45 watts and a 9% load, hope this helps.

Hello, As some have so wisely answered correctly in stating it will not run due to 4.5 amps equaling 540 watts, they are correct.

Adding to the answers above, yes it's 50 watts, and it's plenty to heat up from off to 550F in about 15 seconds, and yet the temperature control makes sure you don't overheat joints. Long gone are the days where wattage was a guide. You would need a higher wattage only if you work on high amperage wiring. And you won't need less wattage for the reason above, electronic temperature control.

I can't answer this for sure but it says in the instructions that it's 50 watts. If you're using a 75 watt adapter I personally wouldn't use it but I did see amazon sells an adapter for car usage. That might be something to look into.

Don't know? Mine is a 400 watt and I have had no power problems, seems totally sufficient to do the job.

The wattage is based on the pencil, which is a PES51. If you look up the pencil separately it says it's 50 watts.

I use it at work so I don't have it with me just now but I am near certain it is 700w. I will check on it and if I am wrong I will correct my answer here.

The manual says it is rated for 10 watts per channel. But I am running with about 50 watts per channel and no problems.
1990978
No. You may be looking at about 50 watts per channel RMS if you are lucky. It is a cheap amp, with fictional specs and a poorly written manual. Lower your expectations.

Mine runs all the time but does have a constant load on it of about 5 amps. Have had no problems with it and plan to buy another.

I hope you haven't bought this piece of junk. It doesn't matter how many watts it is. See my review (JG) from 12/31/12. I sent mine back.

I don't believe there is a minimum wattage load. It has a maximum wattage load of 1800 watts (15A @120V). I use mine to power two 19 watt led bulbs.
2230898
I don't think it would be, even if it is, I would not recommend using a higher wattage than 45. You'd run the risk of destroying the battery or worse causing an electrical fire or blackout. Hope this was helpful

i dont have the specifications any longer however i think the wattage is 60 at it's top speed setting...if i remember correctly
1658582
The spec just means it is rated at 15 amps, but the total wattage cannot exceed 500 watts, which is about 4 amps. They are just saying it is overbuilt.
