How many amps does this unit pull? Nothing in the literature addresses amp requirements. Thanks.

the one I have is 500 watts--500 divided by 110 volts = 4.54 amps. simple formula watts divided by volts = amps used

It is limited to 30 amps. You dont get more amp capacity by lowering the voltage. FYI, mine was visibly broken upon delivery. It came in a padded envelope, which wasnt nearly protective enough. I sent it back for refund.

if you are running 2 100's already then you are either running series or parallel then just connect positive and negative this unit claims to be able to handle 30 amps and 150 volts, unfortunately the unit I got crapped out on day 3 it took some time but sainstore says they are sending me a new one hope the new on holds on.

The amp usage is not in the service manual. The unit does use wattage from a low of 350 to a high of 750. The customer service number is 1-800235-0604.I saw an answer of 6 amps. But, my box does not show this. 6 seems low. I would expect a minimum of 30 to 35 amps. 6 sould be the usage when in fan only mode with the heater element turned off.

I don't know the amps needed, I use one of the "booster" 12v units to power it without any problems.

Not sure but I googled the question before I bought it and got numbers like 5-7 amp draw maximums. Just returned from Alaska with mine full of fish that stayed hard frozen the whole way. One issue..when not on the road the unit light stays on but the temp rises. When parked I used a jump n carry battery and it was great. The rest of the time it was plugged into a standard power port of 12volts or a 120 outlet. Love it

U may git by with it a lil while, but switch is not enough for a constant 35 amp pull...will live a while with 35 amp momentary surge, but not entended for this muchamp's

According the the spec sheet this units runs 8.6 amps when cooling and 11.1 when heating. I ran its own 20 amp 12awg line and it works perfect.

I don't remember the amperage it's pulling but what i will say is this little fan pumps some air. It was worth the price. Good luck and sorry that I couldn't be more helpful

I used a 10 amp fuse and it worked very well. My amp meter never pulled more than 5.5 amps in any mode. Hope this info helps.

I'm just guessing, I think the compressor pulls too many amps for this small adapter to handle. I would locate a local shop who deals in compressors and get their expert opinion on the type of adapter to purchase.

I believe the unit would pull 20 amps so a kitchen circuit should handle the load. Hope this helps

Checking amperage has safety implications, and I suspect that's why low-cost units are limited to 20A. You can get more information from the following video: http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ar7qkMHKw4

Please check your owner's manual. It will give the amps of your unit. It should also say what gauge extension to use, depending on the length of the extension. If not, there will be Web sites that will give the gauge for the amps and length.

I believe it is rated to 100 amps. You might check with Watt's up to see if you are within limits.

The low amp draw has to do with the starting current, not the running amps which is governed largely by horsepower produced. Must have some sort of soft start feature, but I don't know the details. It will start on a normal 115 volt, 15 amp circuit and operate. I've used a 25 foot, 14 ga, extension cord and had no problems running and starting on a normal household receptacle.

Hi. All I know is that it cant run more than 4 amps reliably and the devices fan is louder than it should be.
