How many amps will this product pull? Also does it need a dedicated circuit? My electrician asked these questions. Thanks.

I ran an additional external electrical line from my bathroom GFCI outlet to an additional GFCI outlet near my toilet. The box says that the most WATTS it ever pulls is during the dry cycle which is only 800. I am not sure of the Amperage as i am not an electrician, I just know that neither GFCI have tripped....nor has the main breaker for my bathroom.

Hello, we had an existing 15 amp GFCI (non dedicated) duplex outlet which we plugged ours in to, and it works perfectly.

It can draw up to about 1600 watts, so I think a dedicated circuit is in order. Should be GFI protected as well..Here is a link to the manual with the specifications....http://bidetking.com/media/images/User%20manual%20-%20DIB-1500R%20-%20CE.pdf

Hi, The Clean Sense doesn't need a dedicated circuit.The total maximum draw, according to the specifications is 1270 Watts or around 10 amps, but thats if your running everything at Max.We run the heated seat at medium as well as the water temp, which are all adjustable. We also run the fan at medium.Unfortunately I really don't know what our amp draw is at this lower demandI did run a new circuit from the panel and installed a GFCI so the 4 foot cord would easily reach. We bought the elongated and installed a new elongated tall toilet because the seat just has that little extra room.We love it and plan to eventually buy one for the second bathroom,Hope this helps Hi, The Clean Sense doesn't need a dedicated circuit.The total maximum draw, according to the specifications is 1270 Watts or around 10 amps, but thats if your running everything at Max.We run the heated seat at medium as well as the water temp, which are all adjustable.

A 15A dedicated circuit means that the heater needs a circuit for itself. It's OK to use if the other outlets aren't being used for anything else. #14 wire is good for 15 amps however you would not want to run a very long extension cord.

I'm a electrician 14 guage is fine it doesn't pull any amps bring led. You will be fine with 14 guage wire

That sure is a good Question. I checked the product again and it does not state how many amps. I am going to use it with my LED light strip which only has a couple of amps but I would not use it for something bigger.

I finally found the current requirement for the unit. The barely visible label says 1.8 amps at 120 volts. I hope that this helps.

I am an electrician, it will pull about 13.5 amps on high. A standard residential circuit will handle it, IF, there is nothing else being used on that circuit. A good condition 14 guage grounded extension cord will work if it is 50 feet or less. Buy the shortest cord that gets the job done and I don't recommend going over 50 ft.

yes it will work very well.the item is rated for 20 amps but the circuit breaker feeding that item will only allow 16 amps on a steady basis. i use these in my electrical service business and find them a good product if applied properly.

I run mine on a 20Amp line. I don't use anything else on the same circuit at the same time so keep that in mind, also keep to the 2 min on, 8 min off cycle. It's like running a vacuum cleaner, keep the current low. I hope this helps.

Less than 15 amps. I used it on a room with only 15 amp outlets and it worked fine. It only takes a few minutes to do a room. Be careful when you lower the best onto the wood. You can leave a depression unless you are very careful. Practice in a remote corner till you master it. Keep the machine moving as you lower the belt.

The light only pulls 10 amps, so you can get a heavy duty rocker switch and wire it that way and be fine. I used a relay just because I could feed smaller wires through the firewall to the switch and if I wanted to at a later date add more lights controlled by the same switch.

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.

How many amps does your compressor pull? It may be too many for such a small inverter.

Hi Joseph, what I found is that the 200A meter needs a few Amps before it starts registering, this is due to the high current range... This is assuming you have wired up correctly...

need 20 amps . Not sure on inverter . And you need a heavy.duty extension if you use one.

A 15 amp circuit wit a light load should work fine, HOWEVER if you have 2 or more apliance (like a tosteroven, microwave etc) I would use only 1 item at a time to keep from blowing the breaker. This grill pulls heavly on a 15 amp circuit. A lamp or other light load is fine.

From what I gathered by the supplied materials, the relay contacts can handle about 2 amps. The fans I have it controlling only draw 100 ma, so there is still some head-room for my project.

You do not need a dedicated circuit for the Duraflame heater but you should not place too many electrical items on the circuit that you are using for the Duraflame because it draws a lot of amps. I have my Duraflame on a 15 amp circuit breaker and it works fine. The voltage is 110. I'm not an electrician so if you aren't sure about the conflicting information that you are receiving you may want to consult with an electrician before you buy a Duraflame. It's a very nice product, well built, and worth the money.
