How much current does this unit pull?

From my experience it pulls less than 3A. Very very minimal. I have a 10A fuse that runs my CB and this unit with no problems, and the total draw on that fuse is 6.2A, and I know the CB radio is approx 3-4A.

The important question is how many amps of 110V/60Hz the fridge pulls. It appears to be rated for 13.5A @ 120VAC. So, if a standard 110AC outlet (15A rating) can handle the draw, this unit SHOULD be ok. That said, if I were you, I'd connect it and keep an eye on the cord's temps over the course of one day VERY intently and several days to a week periodically.

It's rated at 2 Amps but only consumes 150 Watts of power so tha actual steady state draw is probably more like 1.25 Amps.

It's 15 amps, so this will allow a device to pull pretty much the maximum current from a typical wall outlet. Anything requiring more current than this can handle shouldn't be plugged in to a typical wall outlet anyway.

not sure how many amps it pulled but I ran it off a motorcycle battery no trouble

It does draw a lil current as long as you have 12v and about 3.2amps of current ur good i have it on a 5 amp fuse and it has never blown. It does use about 32 watts. now this is just what i have clamped it useing at run not fire up. Hope that helped

12.5 amps or less. Depends on the setting. The quality on this unit is atypical of Friedrich units. This one's made in china. Poor quality compared to the USA made units. I would not buy it again. Too expensive to send back or have serviced.

The current draw is rated at 60 amps for this unit. At 230 volts, that comes to 13800 watts. That's the peak. It will usually run much lower than that.Also, as an answer, why reply with "I don't know"?

Its a 21amp unit at highest pick a watt. 30 amp 2 pull breaker will do just fine.

It draws 4 amps (48W) according to label. I have one and works great for us.

The electric start on mine is powered by plugging in to 120 AC. It's a Animal, but I've been able to pull start it. Not hard to pull, I think the electric start is a good option in case it gets stubborn i.e. bad gas from long term storage. enjoy!

Depends on pulling amps of your air conditioner. Check your starting amps for the air conditioner. This is nice unit but might be to small

110, unit pulls around 12 amps and should be the only thing plugged into outlet,

First, the answer is NOT 500ma (.5) as someone else replied. That is the no-load idle current, NOT the MAXIMUM current. While I don't see an official answer, based on the claimed 87% efficiency, the maximum load and surge, and a battery voltage estimate of 13 volts, a little rough math gives us a possible full load current of a bit over 132 amps, with a possible surge current reaching twice that number. Keep in mind these are just some quick back of the napkin figures, and are not a substitute for the manufacturer's published rating. BOTTOM LINE: Contact them before wiring it, I'm just somebody on the Internet making unreliable wild-eyed claims about electricity.

I cannot say what the current draw is. I have no way to determine the power consumption. My train signal only draws a few amps... A relay and one 12 volt light bulb and a 12 volt bell with it's own relay.

My unit draw 10 amps of DC current to produce 1 amp. of AC current @120 volts. My Go-Power is used on a Electrical service vehicle to operate Drills and Hand Saws, and lights. It work's very well! Buy one!Bob Joseph

Never measured it, but since it puts out a lot of heat, I expect you better have it on a 20 amp circuit or a strong 15 amp. The largest pull will be when it starts since the motors high pull at startup adds to the heating element. The reason I bought the new one was that our groomer's old one kept blowing breakers when it was kicked on. The new one doesn't, but I also added an outdoor circuit for her use that was 20 amp. One other thing: My house is fairly new and wired badly as most new houses are now, and in addition has GFI's on all outdoor circuits. The GFI's are so sensitive that the startup draw was enough to pop it. Hell, a string of xmas lights would pop it if dew settled on the plug. Anyway, plugged into a non-GFI circuit in the house, the old unit did not pop the breaker. So, if your house doesn't have GFIs or you have a non-GFI circuit, you should be okay on even a 15 amp circuit. With a GFI, you may occasionally even pop a 20 amp. Your mileage may vary. Hope that helps in some way. Greg
