.most of my outlets are 20 amps or more, the killawatt is only 15 amps does that make a difference in calculations, the garage is 40 amp.

The rateing of 15amps refers to the appliance being rated not the outlet rating. If what you want to measure is rated at 1800 watts or less it will measure the useage. Look on the appliance if it says 1800 watts or less, or, if it is rated at 15amps or less it will work. Hope this helps

if it's "120volt" then the most it will be is what the amperage of the receptacle says it is- which is rarely over 20 amps- this particular plug / cord combo is rated over 40 amps- so to me, for your needs, is overkill - but of the choice on a cord of over or under I would prefer over.

Sorry, I have no idea about the wattage. I can say my garage wiring has been known to trip a breaker under heavy load conditions, but I've never had trouble when running this charger, even under the highest "start" conditions in cold weather. I'm happy with it.

Again, it's all going to depend how much current you're drawing on it. In your house, if your using a 15 amp air conditioner in a 10 amp breaker, you're going to trip the breaker.

I installed it with the feeling that it was a total 30 amp not 30 per circuit. I use the logic that a home fuse panel or circuit breaker panel is rated at its overall highest amperage draw rating:, not the individual circuits.

Just barely. The sticker on it said the max amperage is 17.4 amps x 115 volts = 2001watts. I would go with a larger unit so you don't burn something out. I run with a 3500 and it does good but you have to be carfull not to run any other high power appliance with it.

I installed mine recently, and measured the power, but not the current directly. In standby, the KillAWatt shows 0W, and powered it draws 4.7W. This includes a small wall wart PS, with the illuminator attached by a 100' siamese cable. These numbers are close to what gth posted, so I'd rely on his more precise numbers.

Yes, but keep in mind your vehicle wiring is still limited to 20 amps. So if you are using the original vehicle outlet and the new piggy-backed circuit, the combined amperage draw cannot exceed 20 amps.

I beilieve its a 15amp...not indicated...however, I've done three heavy duty fillups with it and have had now problems...my 2001 Sierra's outlet is the cigarette lighter which is notoriously lame and has not blown a fuse

I spoke with my husband about this and he said that it is 10 amp but acts like it has more power, he uses it at work and it has been very handy because of the configuration. Hope this helped.

120/240 L15-30 rated 30 amps Two standard outlets I believe are 20 amps each for a total of 70 amps

I have mine on a 15 amp circuit. I use it for a dust collector in my basement. The dust collector will draw 13 amps max and the outlet works fine.

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

Sorry 15 should be 15AMPs and 123 watts should be 145 watts.My typing stinks

This heater needs it's own 15 amp outlet , appliances such as a toaster also needs it' s own 15 amp outlet, if they are both on at the same time it will need 30 amps to run both. Most kitchen outlets are wired for 20 amp, which will still trip the breaker. I would recommend using different outlets. Handiman

Never measured it, but since it puts out a lot of heat, I expect you better have it on a 20 amp circuit or a strong 15 amp. The largest pull will be when it starts since the motors high pull at startup adds to the heating element. The reason I bought the new one was that our groomer's old one kept blowing breakers when it was kicked on. The new one doesn't, but I also added an outdoor circuit for her use that was 20 amp. One other thing: My house is fairly new and wired badly as most new houses are now, and in addition has GFI's on all outdoor circuits. The GFI's are so sensitive that the startup draw was enough to pop it. Hell, a string of xmas lights would pop it if dew settled on the plug. Anyway, plugged into a non-GFI circuit in the house, the old unit did not pop the breaker. So, if your house doesn't have GFIs or you have a non-GFI circuit, you should be okay on even a 15 amp circuit. With a GFI, you may occasionally even pop a 20 amp. Your mileage may vary. Hope that helps in some way. Greg

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.
