What is the AMPS / WATTS capacity rating for this? What does NEMA 5-15P/5-15R mean? Is that a different, shorthand way of stating capacity?

15A max. Last answer on 08JUL14 is almost correct, missing information. '5' is the layout of the blades, etc. '15' is the maximum amperage.

NEMA 5-15 is the National Electrical Manufacturer's Association spec for the standard three-prong American AC power connector. "P" is the plug and "R" is the receptacle.

+12, says 3 amps max. Also says 36 watts. It looks like the center pin is positive. Mine is model PA-226SA. MADE for NexStar by Opti.

5V, but only 0.5 Ampere in truth!!! This model only delivers a quarter of it's advertised Wattage/Ampere. 2100mA are NOT TRUE!

Not sure exactly what you are asking...when you say reserve capacity, do you mean how long will it run at the rated current or what ?

This is an old question, but does need to be answered correctly. The 125 watt rating is for 2 channels driven into an 8 ohm load. With ALL 7 channels being driven at once, this unit was bench tested at 70.5 watts per channel into an 8 ohm load. Each of the 7 channels is CAPABLE of producing 125 watts, but that would be assuming those are the only two channels running at the time. The amp board are limited by the power supply.

16 Amps is correct. The watt measurement is a total of all rails. The 5.5v and 3.3v compromise nearly half of the available wattage in these

the tag states 15amps 1800 watts/ general purpose 5 amps 600 watts, I think the first rating is the max. Once programed they work great but like other reviews the programing is tricky.

the CFM for this product is .850 CFM and sombody asked about the amps and it is 15 amps power rating.

I didn't find the amps listed anywhere but the wattage is listed at 1500 and it is a 110 (115) volt. Amps = Watts/volts or Amps = 1500/115 or 13 amps. Does that sound right?

Very difficult to find specs on these machines before buying, still waiting for mine to arrive but have seen somewhere indicating about a 5 amp draw... so that would make it around the 550 to 600 watt range.

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.

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!

The typical US household voltage is 120, therefore a 15 amp circuit times 120 volts equals 1800 Watts. Anything over 1,800 Watts will blow a 15 amp fuse or trip a 15 amp circuit breaker. All UL listed appliances are required to have their Wattage consumption listed on it, usually on the bottom. Just add up the total wattages that will be running at the same time to determine if the circuit breaker or fuse can handle it. This heater has 3 power settings; low = 1,000 watts, high = 1,500 watts and an economy mode which varies but averages around 500 watts. Hope this technical answer helps you with more than just with the heater. Use the same formula for an average 20 amp circuit too.

This device is built to a "NEMA-15" standard, which is a 115/120 volt device rated for 15 Amps maximum. While it may have acceptable insulating materials and distances internally (or may NOT) there is also the consideration of the illuminating device and possibly dropping resistor inside. I would not trust it as manufactured on 220 Volts. I have another made by GE that has no indicating light, and it is clearly marked 120 Volts. In either case, I would err on the side of caution.

just look at the rating on the box. I'm using a smaller generator, and it works fine. BTW, there is a similar unit from the same company rated for 7000 watts (7kw), if you need to go larger. The box is the same size I think, but the connector arrangement is probably different, to handle more amperage. Good luck!

This is a 15 amp capacity switch and will have no problem with the 500 watts and a standard two or three prong extension cord. I use it to power on/off my computer independent of my router.

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
