So the maximum current mesurement for this item is 10Amp? What if theres's 30amp current going thru, would it cause a problem?

You have to read the specifications on it but it will take more that the Maximum amps it displays just don't remember what that is

The only way to find out for sure would be to "smoke" test it, if your smoke detector beeps, you (had) a problem.I'm sure it would become a fuse rather than an ammeter well below 30A.It is a good idea to use a fast-acting fuse of the same (or slightly higher) value as your ammeter in series with the shunt resistor. NOT IN THE SHUNT TO METER LEADS

you should put a 10A fuse in series, a fast-acting type, not a slo-blow type. If you intend to measure 30A then you really need a different model which support 30A. Those require an external shunt resistor wired together with the meter, and this is part# is usually shown next to the product if it's not included already.

I haven't done that yet. I'm not putting more that two amps through mine. but I would imagine that you would burn it up. I seriously doubt it is going to read over 9.99 amps. If you are determined to try this, before you try to put 30 amps through it, I would add a shunt in the circuit ahead of the amp meter.

you might have a bad one. I can use 1/16 6013 on 30-40 amps with no problem.

Your generator will only put out 41 amps at full load no matter how many 30amp receptacles you have. The more items you use in your RV at the same time the more amps you will use, up to 41 amps max.

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.

I wounit push eny more then 3amps i run mine at 5v 0.5 amp. But i don't know there max. -Hope this helps and good luck

I can tell you that they provide a 30 AMP fuse to protect the circuit. Hope that helps!

No 30 Amp will work fine, 50a is the output but not at 220v. I have mine on a 20a with no problem.

You can't confuse the input and output wattage. The 10,000W is the output... 110V, so the max current is 90A on the AC load peak. The input, however, is only 12V, and the current there is limited by your regulator. Current is still current, so if you multiply 90A times 12V you get 1000W total input peak. Nowhere NEAR 800 amps going in! You would blow up your batteries! :)

You shouldn't worry about using thousandths of an amp in current flow...people often worry about a slight trickle of current without addressing what item draws hundreds of times more power...learn basic electricity.

That should work just fine, as long as the specified total amperage (10A) is not exceeded.

This Power Supply can be used as a meter but is not very accurate and is not advised because it has a limit of 30 volts. The display shows amps and volts together.

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.

honestly it is like 10ga. wiring. Its pretty good wiring. it will hold all of 30 amps.

You may be using too small of a circuit, or a circuit that doesnt have enough excess capacity based on its current load. Try a different circuit.

It shouldn't be a problem. I did one connection from main 10A to the add 3A and haven't had any problem, the 3A is going to resist only 3A if the load goes over 3A the fuse will burn out before damage de device. If you go from 20A main to 10A add your device connected to the 10A add shouldn't consume more then 10A.

The wire gage should be heavier for 15 amps! You can probably get by with the 10 amps and it's not going to hurt anything. If the fuse isn't enough it will simply blow which will not hurt anything............

I don't recommend exceeding the specified maximum amperage rating of the protector. You will damage the surge protector.
