Does anyone know if this timer is 20 amp or 15 amp? Thank you.

It's max load is 500 watts at 120volts...a little over 4 amps, however the conductor leads are 14 AWG which would be equivalent to a 15 amp household circuit. The max load of the switch should be adhered to.

Did not say in the instructions, however it said call 1-800-468-1502 for questions/info, also http://yourhome.honeywell.com may help.

The switch doesn't state amp rating. States min 40 W Max 500 W. Will not work with LED bulbs.

I have mine working 4 outdoor flood lights which are florescent...much less than 500 watts total. Works very well.

I believe it's a 15 amp switch, because the directions only apply to using it to control 1 light-outdoors or indoors. We use ours on our front porch light, which is also an LED light.

I doubt it. I would look into another timer. I bought 5 in order to get 1 that worked.

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

No idea. I never had a problem on a 15 amp circuit. Who goes around measuring current on whatever devices they plug in? Kind of a pain, what?

Timer is rated for up to 44 watts usage. You may want to ask an electrician or contact Intermatic's customer service department. Never hurts check with manufacturer.

I purchased it for use with a refrigerator ................have no idea of the amps used but doubt it is near 20

Yes, I use it on a Lap grinder 15 on/15 off from 7AM to 7PM, then it shuts off 7PM to 7AM. Not many timers will do the 15-minute interval. Make sure the switch is in the proper position.

The nameplate amps is 15 Amps. The start up Amps must run higher on mine because it will trip my 20A breaker when I go to start it and then I reset the breaker and it will take off. Then it will run fine though.

No this timer is for 240v ac units. The plug configuration is different and will not work.

This timer will not do it . Check with the electrical department at home depot or menards. They have a timer that can do what you want.

I use this switch on a 15 amp motor for my bandsaw. Atleast I think it's 15 amps. Good luck. Great switch at a reasonable price.

Yes, it's rated for 15Amp. To be totally safe, tab underneath must be grounded. This one is set up to put the tab under the faceplate screw

12 volt dc/ac powers timer. the switch is rated 16(8)amp @ 250vac. hope this helps

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.

CAUTION: An electrical timer will work if you can buy one that can handle a 15 amp draw. [NOTE: IF IT CAN'T, THEN YOU WILL HAVE AN ELECTRICAL FIRE, AND BURN YOUR HOUSE DOWN!!! The heater will pull so much electrical, and make your wire so hot, that it will literally melt the wire.]

I just checked and see that this timer is rated for up to 8.3 amps and since a 250 watt bulb at 120 volts equates to about 2 amps, this should work well for you. Its a rugged unit which I have been using outdoors in the dusk to dawn mode with my outdoor low voltage lighting and it works very well. Obviously this unit is photoelectric and turns on automatically when its dark out so you'll have to position it properly on or near your doghouse so that the photoelectric cell can measue the outdoor light.

Make sure you have a 120 volt supply line not 240 volt. If you have the correct voltage then make sure the timer disc is properly seated which I suspect you have done, then it is probably a faulty timer.
