What is actual amperage draw?
376672
Dear Sir or Madam, The sheet on on this unit provides the following information: Power Rating: 120V AC, 60Hz, 835W Thank you

It draws 30 amps, but you attach it directly to your battery, so it should never bother any in car fuses. Air flow is 2.54 CFM (72 liters per minute) and I love it. It is the best value for the money! Works great!!

I measured amps through each of the LEDs I bought. One shows 24Ma and the other 26ma. As usual when using leds, amperage is negligible unless you are using quite a few or they are superbrights as in stoplights or turnsignals where there are usually more than one led.

The current will be inversely proportional to the voltage plus the inefficiency. You can expect about 11 to 12 amps at full current operation.

I don't know what the actual amperage rating is but I run two of them in my camper on one 15amp circuit and have not had any blown fuse issues. I have been extremely happy with this product

Volts x Amps= watts so watts divided by voltage = amps. 80/12=6.66 amps. It certainly draws quite a bit more during startup.

It depends on the amperage, however the one I purchased had a defect and did not work at all.

The package lists 15mA but measured only 11mA of parasitic draw. The draw is because of the led, and is pretty good, but I added a switch to turn it off. My camper has about 100mA parasitic draw which is high when compared to a typical car of maybe 30mA.

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

Easily, normal draw is under 15 amps. Set one up in a camper on a 15 amp circuit and at full output the fuse never popped

I have 3 Hard Drives plugged in and drawing amperage with no noticeable shift in power. I plug in my phone and my ipad to the same unit and they are both happy with that. I have to guess the outputs are regulated and adequate 1/2 an amp isn't a big draw!

I installed it with the feeling that it was a total 30 amp not 30 per circuit. I use the logic that a home fuse panel or circuit breaker panel is rated at its overall highest amperage draw rating:, not the individual circuits.

Total draw is mesured to the 100th of a kWh. It also mesured peak draw to a tenth of a watt. So depending on how you are looking to use it it may do what you need.

I have measured the amperage draw at 14 volts (the actual voltage you'd be using these at) and the amp draw is 1.87 amps at 14 volts. Tested using an Extech EX470 meter

The other answer is correct about the unit draw being fairly low as compared to the heating element power draw. I actually measured mine and it came in at about 9.5 Amps instead of the 6.7 amps one would get using the standard DC based calculation. The heater runs on AC power and there is a power conversion factor based on the RMS voltage value for all AC circuits. If I remember right the power factor for 60hz AC is .707. This calculates closer to the 9.5 amps my meter is showing.

The draw I low as the lights are led but I don't know what the draw is though.

No, I think the questioner does mean watts. In applications where using a generator, such as a 2000w generator it is important to know the startup amps/watts so as not to overload the generator capacity. So I would repeat, does anyone know the startup watt draw? Start up amp draw would help as well.
