What amperage does each mat draw? What amp circuit would be required for 4 mats?

I plugged 2 large mats and 1 step mat into one outlet using extension cords. Although they said not to use extension cords, the mats come with extremely short little cords and you really don't have a choice. I plugged one into the top outlet with the temperature sensor and the other plugged into the bottom of the outlet. It is a regular house current and the breaker is either 15 or 20 amps and never tripped. If you have a unique situation you may need to consult an electrician. The rugs worked great for us, but wished they were a little bigger with longer cords in relationship to the cost.

LEDs strips draw very low power, these strips consume appox. 1 Amp per 3.5 feet at 12 Volts. Most kits are 16.4 feet with a 12 Volt 5 Amp power supply. If you want to make your own custom length divide the total length by 3.5 then round it up to the next full number and that will give you the amps required at 12 volts. (Ex: 50' length divided by 3.5 = 14.3 round up to 15 Amp Power supply) Jim Carlson, Master Electrician

Are you asking what the current draw is? If so, the kit comes with a 10 amp in line fuse.

31.666 amps is where you are with your 4 panels. I agree with AT... You need a larger charge controller or research using multiple controllers.

I believe it draws just under 1 amp at 12 volts. I am running 4 of them on the property with a 12 volt class 2 transformer. At 6 volts it will pull 1.1 amps.

I haven't done that yet. I'm not putting more that two amps through mine. but I would imagine that you would burn it up. I seriously doubt it is going to read over 9.99 amps. If you are determined to try this, before you try to put 30 amps through it, I would add a shunt in the circuit ahead of the amp meter.

Quite a few amps I would suppose... when extended (door open) the circuit is closed to ground.

Assuming each panel might put out 12 amps at full sun, 6 x 12 = 72 amps. The meter literature says 100 amps rating, 50 amps continuous. Problem is the wire gauge is 14 - so you can't run much wire length (less than 5 feet or 2 meters)at that 50 amps. Borderline. I don't think this will work for your application with that many panels/watts/amps.

NO. this does not draw enough amperage. Hooked mine up with a 20A switch with a 10A fuse. Works great.

You don't need another 30 amp controller. 2 more panels would only put you at 28 amps, and I've never seen a panel that puts out its advertised amperage anyway.

Not too sure what amps it draws but I think it would be more than 2 amps when under load Cheers Al.

To my knowledge 5 amps is fine to run through this. It should be rated for 4 amps per channel allowing a maximum of 12 amps. Another thing to add is that this dmx controller does not play well with strip led amplifiers. Especially when it comes to dimming.

We were using a motor shield and could run 3 motors with a 9 volt. They're supposed to be like 3.5v each, you can run it by just hooking it up to the 9v. Careful with too much current (amps), that's what will fry it.

4 amps seems accurate. I don't remember everything I learned in college about physics and electronics but I think you're looking at the input power which pretty much has nothing to do with output. I'm sure a lot is lost in heat and the lights etc.

I have no Idea-Suggest you contact vendor(It mst be very low>1 amp.and uses a small xformer(supplied)

I've only used it once and don't know which one I used, but I did read about the amperage in some of the product reviews. I think you'll find your answer there.

I would read the manual. I used to do this for a living and frankly I can count on one hand the number of multi channel amps that I installed that had to have all 4 inputs used. Typically there's a set that you can use as two channel inputs that will provide input to all four channels if you don't have anything plugged into those. And typically these amps that required all four channel inputs were very high end like Zapco, MacIntosh, stuff like that.
