What is the power draw of this unit in amps, is it 15 amps or is it more?Thanks.

Hi, Cracked! Well .. I won't do your homework completley for you ... but check this out. Your answers are here somewhere.! Good luck! Is a good unit! http://www.friedrich.com/support/manuals-brochures

It's 15 amps. I have it plugged into a standard 110 outlet with other outlets in-line with it and it never even dims the lights when the compressor kicks on. Its a very nice unit

My Installers threw away all the manuals! I was not too happy. But I believe it draws very little Amps...like around 4ish...so I think you would be more than fine with 15. I looked it up at Lowes and they say 3.3 amps for a 450 CFM, so right around there I would assume. On another note, we are very happy with this. It is much quieter than the one we replaced and we always get compliments on it. It lights up very well and it sucks the steam and grease right up. Hope this helps.

While it doesn't have a rated amps on it I believe it would handle 12 volts X 15 Amps= 180 watts. Be sure to run a heavy wire to it with a fused circuit.

15 Amps.Wattage is Volts x Amps, so the wattage is dependant on the voltage.

15 amps, and it will pull the full 15 amps when starting up the compressor. After starting, it evens out below the 15.

I don't know how many amps it draws. It is not listed in the specs. I cannot find the paperwork that came with it. I have not hard wired it in yet. I have it temporarily plugged into a heavy duty extension cord on a 30 amp outlet. It comes with a heavy duty cord , with a ground fault plug. When I hard wire it, it will be on a 20 amp circuit.

Yes, it is a 115 volt system and it draws 11.9 Amps according the plate on the side. We run it with no trouble on a 15 amp circuit but we do have to try and keep other things off that circuit when it's running.

The current draw is rated at 60 amps for this unit. At 230 volts, that comes to 13800 watts. That's the peak. It will usually run much lower than that. Also, as an answer, why reply with "I don't know"?

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.

I finally found the current requirement for the unit. The barely visible label says 1.8 amps at 120 volts. I hope that this helps.

Well, its 12.5 amps per unit, so if its the only thing you are using you can have 8 running at the same time. I have 2 and they take care of my needs. But it ultimately depends on what else you have running.

If the above poster is correct with 12 Volts and 1500 mA (1.5 Amps) the correct power would be 12 Volts times 1.5 Amps for 18 Watts......a lot more useful than 1.5.

The majority of an AVERAGE household's high-amperage draw items (air conditioner, washer, dryer, refrigerator, portable heater, hair dryers, microwaves, toasters) do not draw more than 15 amps. That has been the standard for all the houses I have been in. Yes, there are items you *might* need 20 amp service for, but they would be the exception to the normal.

Nothing on the plugs that would indicate amperage, so I can't tell you for sure. Having said that, the wire looks to be 14-2 which would mean 15 amps.

Not sure what the draw is, but I run it off a 15 amp circuit and have never tripped the breaker.

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.

The wattage is 1600 Watts. You can use it on any 15 amp outlet in your home, providing nothing else is running simultaneously. I have had no problems using this in my kitchen I make sure other items on that circuit aren't running or are unplugged, because it will draw close to 15 amps.
