What's the maximum current rating on this outlet ? my AC draws 12Amp, is it alright to use it with this timer?

I am not an electrician so I can only tell you that I use this APC wall outlet on a 15amp circuit that powers a large smart TV and a satellite receiver. Hope this helps.

I use this relay on a 12VAC circuit. Works great. I think there is a small diode in series with the coil , so the coil would be DC. Check the one you have it might be the same.

Just found this out.If you go to the page on Amazon where they sell the relay and go down to the 5th photo there is a basic schematic.It shows that the pulse wire to active the relay is 12V+ which you need anyway to power the timer.One of the reviews also talks about this as one person wished the pulse could have been 12V-JW

Its more the amps that would be the concern. It says it handles 20amps @ 120vac, so I would think as along as you stay under the 20amps you should be alright.

Your unit appears to be wired for 30 amp MAX service, correct? That being true, you should never use any device allowing more than 30 amps to pass through it. The wiring in your unit will break down and the result will be fire. Hope this gives you a better understanding of surge protectors and circuit breakers.

I'm sure that is max for the unit. Using two 1200W devices isn't the problem, the issue would be how many amps they'll draw when in use. For example, if you connected two 1200W grills, it'll not work due to the amps.

Consuming 1450 Watts at 115V it will pull about 12.6 Amps. The typical home circuit breaker is 20 Amps so don't use it on a heavily loaded circuit. Since you will use it outside, make sure you are using GFCI protection.

I believe a 15 amp outlet is recommended. I think it is actually around 12 though.

I would not use this in a home because of 12V. I would purchase a regular home unit made for 110AC.

Never run any thing at its full rating ever. In electrical world if you will be running normal at 15 amp you should be on 20 amp rated UL rated outlet line, timer and GFI Breaker. This allows for surge amps.

I used one for a ceiling mounted heater and it works fine. I think these timers are rated for 15 amps. Great timer.

Those are the old current ratings. Now, it is 120/240, and this is a 120 volt product (normal household current). It does call for its own 20 amp breaker protected circuit, but I did not install one. I ran it on the same circuit which has handled two bathrooms and their exhaust fans for 50+ years. I have had no problem with tripped breakers when using my heater function, exhaust function, light and other lights on that circuit simultaneously. If you go that route but start tripping the breaker on the circuit, you will have to run a new line with a dedicated breaker.

Yes, You would need to check the amount of amps the heater draws and the maximum amp load the timer switch is designed for ( I beleive it is 15 amps). Normally a separate circuit should be utilized for heaters.

It should be good to go. I use mine to keep my camp trailer lights, microwave running, refrigerator and video system all at the same time. With all that the 20 amp circuit breaker has never kicked off. It will not run my air conditioner which pulls 30 amps. This has been my experience with my unit. Champion has another model which will support 30 amps but I believe it weights more and is a more expensive unit. However, these generators are hard to beat for the price.

My wife and I use ours daily and lobe it. Regarding your question, I would check with a reputable shop that sells electrical supplies. You want to make sure that anything between the unit and wall outlet will handle the electrical load without overheating.

From the specifications: Maximum AC Current @108VAC - 13 Amps. If your voltage is higher the current will be lower.
