Does this work on a shared circuit or does it require a dedicated circuit? Is it 15amp or 20 amp?

No reason to mount on a dedicated circuit as long as you consider the amperage of everything else that is also on that circuit (In actuality, you could consider what all might be on at the same time - not a "to code" answer, however.

Ours is on the master bath 15 amp. Lights, ceiling fan and heat lamp and gfi outlets all on the amp. I know i cannot have them all running at the same time. I plugged in my blow dryer when the lights and heat lamp were on and it threw it. So now, i just dont run everything at the same time.

I have it on a shared 15 amp circuit with the other lights in the same bathroom and no issues. It's really no different than having multiple ceiling lights on in a kitchen depending on wattage.

I believe its 20amp and my electrician put it on a seperate breaker. That was partially because half of my basement was on the one breaker and he didnt want to overload it. I think if it was just the bathroom on one breaker he wouldnt have added one. Hope that helps.

I replaced a standard switched recessed light with this unit. I believe that it is a 15 amp circuit. Check tech details on Amazon for this unit for required electrical info. I am very happy with this unit. Did find that red heat lamps have short life and now use white heat bulbs.

It's very efficient, runs cool and does not use very much current. You can use a 15 amp circuit. It does not require 20 amp circuit to run. Although it's a very powerful amp!

Note - If your dedicated line is a 20 amp circuit there is a 20 amp model available also, Number TF201W Don

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.

Check the capacity of the circuit you have it plugged into. This needs to be on a 20A circuit as it will draw up to 17A, depending on your power supply. That is, BY ITSELF on a 20A circuit.The MINIMUM current draw will be 15A and that is already too much for a 15A circuit, you will likely blow the circuit. If it doesn't blow the circuit as soon as you plug it into a 15A circuit (and turn it on), there is something wrong with your wiring.

You do not need a dedicated circuit for the Duraflame heater but you should not place too many electrical items on the circuit that you are using for the Duraflame because it draws a lot of amps. I have my Duraflame on a 15 amp circuit breaker and it works fine. The voltage is 110. I'm not an electrician so if you aren't sure about the conflicting information that you are receiving you may want to consult with an electrician before you buy a Duraflame. It's a very nice product, well built, and worth the money.

It recommended that it be a 20 amp. As to whether that has to be dedicated or not, I don't know, but I know that on my breaker, it is on its own circuit. I think the heater takes a fair amount of energy so it should be on its own.

15 amp on the single (120 volt) and 20 amp on the 2 pole (240 volt). If you don't need the 240 volt circuit you can split it up and have 2- 20 amp 120 volt circuits.

Hi Sheena: Jeffrey beat me to it. The only caution you want to take is to not treat this a 4 ports each capable of 15 Amps.With best regards

20 amp 120volt circuit. A dedicated 20 amp breaker with a 20 amp single receptacle eliminates the risk of nuisance circuit overloads should someone plug in another load that is rated for more than 2 amps.

no I dont believe it will handle the current it is rated for 15?amp max at most

As stated already, make sure your transformer can support the high current demand especially if you are biting into a large bit of wood or are using an aggressive bit. All of my shop circuits are 20 amp but 15 amp should work as well. Also, I would always defer to the manufacturer. They should have a contact with PC who can answer your question as well. Great router.

The unit is rated at 12 AMPS, 1440 WATTS. A 15 AMP circuit is sufficient as long as there are not other appliances on the circuit.Hope that helps!

Less than 20 amps - I run it on a 20 circuit. Has never tripped the breaker

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.

It works on my 20 amp circuit, but it will be most of the load. If it's hot outside and this is on it should be the only high-powered device on the circuit. Even a computer or two may result in it tripping.

15 amp should work fine. Did you wire these together into one plug, or put separate plugs on each light cord? If you wired them together, they may be connected wrong. Best bet would be to put a plug on each light cord and use an outlet strip. You will have added protection with an outlet strip with a breaker on it also.
