15 amps at 120vac = 1560 watts. What rating can we really go by ???

This is what it says on the bottom of the part that plugs into the wall: "125 Vac, 60 hz13 A resistive 13 A general purpose 1000W tungsten" It is a three pronged plug and plugs into my home socket. It has been working really well.

Hi its 120v with 1550 wattage, but watch what country you're going to use it in, i.e. Australia, can only use it if you also purchase or have a transmitter to alter electrical current from the 120v to Australias' 240v

From manufacturer spec ; max current is 3.9 amps. Watts=voltage x current; 120v x3.9amps = 1825 watts

The unit is rated at 12 AMPS, 1440 WATTS. A 15 AMP circuit is sufficient as long as there are not other appliances on the circuit.Hope that helps!

Per manual, the machine draws 13 Amps at 120 V, thus 13*120=1560 Watts. I assume that this is well within the capacity of your transformer. I also assume that your transformer is a real transformer, not the electronic one which are only for resistance loads. I don't see cycles in the manual, but I don't think that cycles difference is a problem.

Dont know.... bought this as a gift ...I never recieved it .... but I've done enough Appliance repairs to know that 1500 Watts translatesto 15 Amperes: +/- oneAmp, and many times a low setting is about half that..... Hair Dryers, esp.......

The 240 Volt at 1500 Watts delivers 5120 BTU/HRThe 120 Volt at 1500 Watts delivers 5120 BTU/HR

Ohms law says amps X Volts = Watts, So with the information provided the compressor runs on 120 volts at 15 amps will be 1800 watts. However when this compressor motor starts under a load I'll bet it spikes upwards of 20 amps probably around 30 amps so if your going to use a power inverter to run this compressor better be a good one ! At least 3600 watts at the minimum

My Installers threw away all the manuals! I was not too happy. But I believe it draws very little Amps...like around 4ish...so I think you would be more than fine with 15. I looked it up at Lowes and they say 3.3 amps for a 450 CFM, so right around there I would assume. On another note, we are very happy with this. It is much quieter than the one we replaced and we always get compliments on it. It lights up very well and it sucks the steam and grease right up. Hope this helps.

At 120V AC and 1.8 amps, it would be 216 watts. (volts x amps = watts). Mine has the Amps and volts on the label, but not the watts. I just did the math.

Standard 15 amp out is fine. That's what I have mine plugged into without issue.

watt = amp * voltThis unit reads 120vac/15A.120 volts alternating current * 15 ampere = 1800 watts.It worked great this past winter for a 6' long by 3' wide by 2' deep oval fish pond heater.

120Vac, 15A. will not work with 20 amps, since this is only rated at 15 amps. here is what is on the back of the unit [i unplugged mine and wrote down the specs that are on the unit and what is on the box itself]. LOAD RATING: 15A 120V 60HZ LINE VOLTAGE: 120V SURGE PROTECTION: L-N, L-G, N-G MAXIMUM SURGE VOLTAGE: 6000V ENERGY DISSIPATION [JOULES PROTECTION]: 1500J MAX. SURGE CURRENT: 60,000A VOLTAGE PROTECTION RATING: 400V [L-N, L-G, N-G] RESPONSE TIME: &lt;1ns EMI/RFI: YES ELECTRICAL: 2 OUTLETS LED INDICATORS: 2 [PROTECTED & POWER] LIMITED LIFETIME PRODUCT WARRANTY $75,000 CONNECTED EQUIPMENT GUARANTEE

Since it can handle 1800W on a 15 amp circuit, the answer is essentially zero. There is nothing resistive or mechanical, so that makes sense.

This is what i found at cyberguys.com: 16AWG, 1625 watts (13.5 amps at 120 volts).

I had the same problem at the time determining the maximum current but I think most fans should be ok. I used it for a fairly large fan so I'm guessing most is good for most 15 amp circuits .

Label on back side says 1300 watts; well below the 1500 max for a standard 15 amp wall outlet circuit.
