My contractor is asking how much amperage this unit draws? Needs its own breaker?

It does not need its own breaker. We have it tied into an outlet for other appliances... Garbage disposal

Per the .pdf - 115 volts, 750 watts, 6.25 amps. Mine is not on his own circuit and works just fine.

To be honest I am not sure, but I would say no to its own breaker (mine isn't and work fine).

Electric heat draws too many amps for the small relay the basic unit includes. You'd need the supplemental relay sized for your system. If you don't know the amperage, divide the number of watts by the voltage of the system (usually 120) to get the number of amps. Incidentlly, this will also be the load placed on the circuit breaker in you panel.

Running 16 ga. wire used in this assembly then the TOTAL amperage for this splitter is 10 amps. Make sure that the extension cord you are attaching this to is also 16 ga. or larger.

joseph I did not check with my amp meter, however is your application special need like low draw will ??? otherwise for RVporch and interior use the draw is very low and I really like for RV use hope it helps gene

Its a 21amp unit at highest pick a watt. 30 amp 2 pull breaker will do just fine.

www.stiebel-eltron-usa.com/techdata-tempra-tempraplus.html Should need 3- 60 amp breakers. Hope this helps! :-)

Hi - I purchased the unit and am very happy with it. I believe you would have to contact an electrician if something goes bad. Note: The unit is powerful and I needed to install a 20 amp circuit breaker & 12 gauge wire (15amp was got good enough) so it was a major project to get it installed but it is well worth it

If I remember right, mine is a 6gal unit. It works great for me. I went to Park Rose Hardware, (164th & 1st st here in vancouver) with a breaker I pulled from my trailer & bought another 1 of the same kind/brand. It sucks a lot of power so I wanted it to be on a breaker by itself. You can come look at mine if you live in my area.jonesy

I will look at it but its 7.5 amps so your never going to flip a light duty 15amp breaker. Provided its the only signifcant draw on the circut. Ive run it extensivly from a celing basement light fixture incandessent 800lumins standard 60w replacement and a stereo off that circut with no problems. Not a great idea but i was literaly in a coal chamber of my 100+yr. House. 20amp gcfi i installed was using my radial saw on and a lot of back and forth. Kinda a ramble but point being any problem on performance. If you want watts its circut amp current multiplied by volts 120v in this case. Amps are probably more relavant for a power tool. 3000rpm. This and a Ridged imlact wrench almost cover all my needs. Good build.

Hang on while I go look. There is a tag on the bottom that states 120V A. C., 60 Hz., 1.5 A. I would have guessed it would have a higher amperage need. Additionally, there is no mention of voltage or amperage requirements in the Owner's Guide.

The installation instructions require a 60 amp circuit beaker. I had mine connected to a 60 then I moved and now have it hooked up to a 50 amp. I had my brother test the amp usage of my unit and it uses between 42 - 44 amps at full draw. It has two heating elements and uses only one at 21 -22 amp draw unless you use enough water to kick in the second unit. Then it draws the full 42 - 44 amps. The heater only uses one heating element for a shower, but if you run the showing and a sink, then it uses both heating elements to meet the demand. They require 60, but mine runs on 50 just fine. I hope that helps with your decision.

Its better to have it hard wired to breaker. I believe it draws close to 16amps. I had my electrician run a line from my breaker box to a disconnect box. Note, The inside unit gets its power from the outside unit. It was super easy to install Once power was to the spot I needed,

According to the quick installation guide, the maximum amp draw of this unit is 100 amps and not 200 amps as stated on some posts here. How much amp it draws depends on your water usage and temperature. Temperature can be adjusted between 80⁰F - 140⁰F. It does require three 40 amps breakers and that may pose an issue when it comes to older homes. Most older homes main panel is 100 amps with little room for expansion. A 200 amp panel upgrade may very well be worth it.

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.

There is an 8 amp breaker that will operate if the load is too great. That is IF you can get it started. We went camping and I now have tennis elbow.

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

My Electrician hooked it up to it's own 30 amp breaker, running on 220 vollts
