Keeps on blowing fuse (15 amp) if used off bathroom outlet? Does it require higher amps?

I use mine in any part of my house and it works fine on every outlet, but remember, Amazon it's not selling the original ones so I suggest you hunt it down in your nearby beauty supply store because it's not worth paying almost the same price for a false one. I paid 180 for mine in a local beauty supply store

To do it right, you should have a dedicated breaker for this heater. If you don't have an open breaker, get with an electrician to have a subpanel installed. Also depending on what state you're in, you may be required to use an ARC Fault breaker. I used a 15 amp GFCI breaker because it is located in a bathroom. Hopefully this answered your question.

It is only 20 gauge wire and it would not handle 15 amps for any length of time. There's an inline 15 amp fuse auto style fuse which in it's own right means 15 amp max short term. I wouldn't use it for more than 10 amps.

I doubt if many/any of us have tripped the breaker, so you might not get a solid answer. I've been using two of these for 18 months or so, and have never pushed them that far (nor would I recommend you try to run &gt;15 amps). But it's a circuit breaker, not a fuse, so you should just be able to press the reset button (after reducing the load, obviously!) Hopefully you'll get someone to answer who's actually tripped the breaker, but in absence of that, I wouldn't be concerned about it; that's how a circuit breaker works.

Likewise to "retired in Lynwood" I have it in a normal wall outlet. I have 20 amp circuits but 15 amp outlets...go figure. I remember it is one horsepower, or maybe 1.5 peak. One horsepower would draw slightly over 6 amps. What I would say, basis a problem I had with other appliances in the kitchen, is that it would be better not to put it on a circuit that already has a major appliance on it, refrigerator, window unit, etc. Ideally those would be on separate circuits anyway.

Most likely because the typical 120 volt home wall outlet that you would be plugging the surge protector into, is only rated foe 15 amps

I don't know what the actual amperage rating is but I run two of them in my camper on one 15amp circuit and have not had any blown fuse issues. I have been extremely happy with this product

Plugged it into a regular wall outlet, which has other equipment on it, ie lights, fan and it has not been an issue. I use 20 amp breakers.

I just plug it in to a regular outlet in my bathroom-but I'll check the owner's manual....if anything, I'll call the company or look at that online.And this is important... why?.....

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.

Easily, normal draw is under 15 amps. Set one up in a camper on a 15 amp circuit and at full output the fuse never popped

You need a 15 amp and ,If this one blews try the 20 amp fuse. but the 15 amp is the right fuse for it. Eddie O. Murray, Piedmont,Alabama

I just plugged the lamp into average wall outlet, Not an electrical expert by any stretch. Just know I plugged it into bathroom wall outlet, didn't blow a fuse and the lamp worked. That's all I needed. I don't know what a 20AMP breaker is. As for fixture, I use a photographer's shell, for lack of a better word, an aluminum or whatever metal wide mouth cone like simple fixture because these fixtures usually have some kind of clamp attached to them for positioning.

That's going to be directly related to the load your device is going to pull. make sure that you have enough capacity at the breaker and the GF I outlet

Total load must be less than 15 amps or the breaker will pop. That's because only ONE plug of the wall outlet is powering the entire 6-plug device.

The wiring is unusually high gauge. I wouldn't run it above 15A which is more than enough for almost ALL 12V plug in items.

Check the polarity of the connections, also check the load,too much will blow the fuse. It's to protect the inverter.If all else fails call the manufacturer.
