Chris - sorry so long for reply, either would do, as this unit only uses like 5.4 amps I think.... I'm actually getting a 1000 watter for next time. Hope this helps friend.

15 amp is fine as long as the rest of the circuit is not overloaded. Mine run off a dedicated circuit, 15amp, and I have no issues. You run into trouble with overloading the circuit that plug is on. Clear as mud, right? Trial and error, if you are blowing your circuits, you are overloaded.

The 15Amp has two vertical and the one round. Your standard plug type. It is the 20Amp that has one vertical and one horizontal with the one round.

Standard 15A is what mine is plugged into. You can double check the specs to see the power consumption.

both are vertical for 15a applications, 20a will have one horizontal. a = amp

it depends on what Amp breaker you outlets are hooked to ie 14 Gauge/ 15 Amps. 12 gauge/20 amps.

Reading the answer below about the 15/20 amp switchable modes, yes a 2000 watt generator would be fine in 15 amp mode. 15 amps at 120 volts is 1800 watts so in 15 amp mode, it would be fine. The power consumption shown on the sticker is 2200 watts, so you could not use a 2000 watt generator to power it in 20 amp mode.

Most homes have 15 or 20 amp breakers so you should be fine with the 15. Make sure to get 15 amp cold weather extension cord so it stays flexible I the cold.

Most wall receptacles in homes (unless in a kitchen, bathroom or Dining Room) are 15 amp. It is fine to replace them with a 20-amp model such as this because the circuit is protected by a 15-amp circuit breaker (or fuse in older homes). The receptacle is able to withstand up to 20-amps of current but theoretically it would never get that high because the circuit breaker would trip at 15-amps. You wouldn't want to go vise versa and put a 15-amp receptacle on a 20-amp circuit but putting this 20-amp receptacle on a 15-amp circuit is safe.

That's not a 14-30 plug, it's a 14-20 -- the difference is the 30 is for 30 amps and the 20 is for 20 amps.

20amp breaker is ideal....but ive used 15 amp breaker without many issues. Sometimes the breaker would trip...depended how long i was welding

Any well grounded 120 volt with 20 amp breaker. If using outdoors or in area that be wet assure the receptacle is GFCI protected.

I'm not qualified to answer that question. I'm not a professional. I'm using it for lighting & a bath fan. I use a 15 amp breaker with 14g wire, not a 20. I always check manufactures recommendations. There may be local codes as well to consider when running a new circuit.

It should work on any unit rated at 15 amps or less. The brand does not matter

No, specs manufacturers website says 10.2 amps, any 15 or 20 amp 120 volt receptacle should be fine.

yes this is a 120v plug that I use a standard 15 amp receptacle and it handles fine.

You need a 15 amp and ,If this one blews try the 20 amp fuse. but the 15 amp is the right fuse for it. Eddie O. Murray, Piedmont,Alabama

240 volts 15 amps stated on package...also check plug type . Check with your electric provider to be safe!!!
