Will this work on a 30 amp breaker or does it need 40 amps?

If you don't use the burners at once, which MOST people don't you are fine. it will get dicy using all 4, I never have used more then 2 at once.

Yes you can use this unit. Make sure you have it on at least a 25 amp breaker.

It uses 50 amp male plug. In order to use a 30 amp you would need a 30 amp female to 50 amp male adapter.

The maximum size breaker in the transfer swich is a 2pole 30 amp. If you change the breakers the unit is no longer UL LISTED.

I use a 50amp @ 240VAC breaker. I would not go lower than that.I don't use it in 120V mode, but if I did it would be for light work (16 gauge rods) and I would use a 30 amp breaker, keeping in mind "light work only", otherwise it will trip the breaker. Bear in mind that normal 120V household circuits are 15 - 30 amp circuits, so if you intend to exceed 30 amps in 120V mode, run a dedicated circuit using suitably rated (50 amps) conductor wires.Hope that this helps.

I put it on a single 20 amp breaker. It works great,VERY quiet. Barley noticed any increase in my electric bill.

it has a 20 amp plug where your dryer has a 30 or 40 amp. they are not the same.

That all depends on the amount of amp service you have for where ever you are plugging in this unit. I believe this unit uses 9.8 amps. We had a 15 amp breaker for the room we were using this unit in. It never tripped our breaker. I suggest you double check the amps this unit uses (like I said, I thought it was 9.8 but double check that!!) and check the amps you have to that area.

Won't plug into a 30amp, 20 amp breaker is fine, don't let your electrode stick and you'll have a 2 minute duty cycle

I have ordered the 30 amp cord.....It is my understanding that all the cords (15 and 20 amp) would work.....What determines which one you need is the amperage size breaker you are connecting to.......

I'm running mine on a 40 amp breaker... But it also came with a 120v 20 amp adaptor so you could run it on a regular outlet with limits to output..

getting a 50amp breaker isnt what you want.. you want the 30amp if you running a 30amp system im sure they still sell a 30 - 35A kinds of these but im using this and a 35amp breaker on my car system 14v 30a and they work great but the terminals are kinda small and id even say teh yare a bottle-neck for my 0 g cable

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.

You may want to check the actual draw on your circuit as the switch uses 20 amp breakers...it may work?

Although I'm not a professional electrician, I would say NO as the system requires 3 - 40amp 220/240V circuit breakers (120Amp total).
