When wired for 110 voltage, what Amperage does the circuit need to be for safe operation. Can I run it on a 15 amp circuit?

The motor draws 10.3 amps on 110v. Yes you can run it on a 15 amp circuit. I would not run anything more than a light or two on that same circuit to keep it from blowing the breaker.

mine does fine on 15Amp breaker - there is a surge when you start first, but when it runs it runs - no problem

Yes, the amp.s at 115 volts is 10.3 amp.s I plug it into a standerd 15 Amp outlet , works fine.

I run it on a 15 amp circuit and haven't had any problems with it. I hope this helps.

I used it for 110 volts, there is no amperage.. I hope this is of use to you

It should be plugged into a 20 amp outlet.You can plug it into a 15 amp outlet but nothing else on the circuit should plugged in, even then you are still pushing over the limits. I bet most people do this though. Not good.

Never run any thing at its full rating ever. In electrical world if you will be running normal at 15 amp you should be on 20 amp rated UL rated outlet line, timer and GFI Breaker. This allows for surge amps.

I'm not an electrician but I think it would matter what you're running and if the load is constant or the 15 amp load is transient - like starting a compressor. For loads where the item being powered is not voltage sensitive (lights, some motors) 100' should be OK. If voltage drop would be an issue for a compressor or voltage-sensitive device, I'd stay at 50' or go to the heavier cord.

Assuming a normal household outlet, it is protected up to 15 Amps on the whole circuit. This means a max allowable of 1800 watts on the whole circuit. Provided no other devices which exceed 800 watts are used on this circuit, you should be OK.

yah 14 to 15 dont even try to use it with anything less than a 12 guage wire and 50ft extension cord. if you have anything else on that circuit it will just pop the circuit

As stated already, make sure your transformer can support the high current demand especially if you are biting into a large bit of wood or are using an aggressive bit. All of my shop circuits are 20 amp but 15 amp should work as well. Also, I would always defer to the manufacturer. They should have a contact with PC who can answer your question as well. Great router.

You are OK as long as you don't exceed 15 amps. Why don't you do the math using ohms law and save yourself all the effort of plugging and unplugging? Each item will have a decal that defines the power it requires to operate. http://www.ohmslawcalculator.com/ohms_law_calculator.php

The unit is rated at 12 AMPS, 1440 WATTS. A 15 AMP circuit is sufficient as long as there are not other appliances on the circuit.Hope that helps!

It is due to the length of the cable and the gauge of the wire in it. Lots of 110 cords with 15A connectors are not rated for 15A.

On 120v a 20a dedicated circuit would be fine. On 220v it only draws 11amps I think, so 15-20 amp circuit. But keep in mind you get full output with 220 volt circuit too. I have tig welded on a 20amp 120v circuit with this thing with great results.

its a 15 amp circuit to one plug in . do not use a extention with major appliances

Sorry, it's only going to work with 110 volts (15 or 20 amp shouldn't matter).

Yes it is normal house circuit, but a regular 15amp circuit will not be good enough. You will have better luck with a 20amp, You can tell by checking your panel box to see if you have a 20amp breaker or fuse controlling the receptacle you plan to use. A 20 amp circuit will be connected to 12 gauge wire which is what you need to carry that much electricity. DO NOT just replace a 15amp breaker or fuse with a 20amp without making sure that that the wire is heavy enough to carry the 20amps.

I'm not qualified to answer that question. I'm not a professional. I'm using it for lighting & a bath fan. I use a 15 amp breaker with 14g wire, not a 20. I always check manufactures recommendations. There may be local codes as well to consider when running a new circuit.

no I dont believe it will handle the current it is rated for 15?amp max at most
