Can this be wired to a 15 Amp Circuit using 14 ga wire?

The switch is rated at 10 Amps (125 VAC) or 6 Amp (250 VAC). I wired mine on a 20 A circuit (125 VAC) , but I'm only powering a couple of xenon lamps through the switch. As long as you don't overload it, you'll be ok, but bear in mind that if you exceed the amperage on the load side of the switch, a 15 Amp breaker would not protect you.

Yes, it's rated for 15Amp. To be totally safe, tab underneath must be grounded. This one is set up to put the tab under the faceplate screw

This unit works for any furnace connected to a 15 Amp max line. The size of the generater does not matter. You just cannot draw more than 15 Amps.

Most definitely yes. I do hope that the existing wires are gauge 14 for best results

Yes. Assuming the wire coming out of the 20amp fuse (or circuit) is sized for 20amps, you should be ok. 14AWG should be fine. I personally wouldn't risk it with a 16AWG.

Yes, it is a 115 volt system and it draws 11.9 Amps according the plate on the side. We run it with no trouble on a 15 amp circuit but we do have to try and keep other things off that circuit when it's running.

no wire ga. size on wire. rated 15amps and nearly 1900 watts. I bought two and both are on 15 amp fuses. Heavier duty than prior strips.

You can do a lot of things, but not necessarily to code. There are 4 wires on the L14-30 so that you have two hot conductors, a neutral and an earth ground. The ground is very important for safety reasons, as well as equipment life. You would be better off properly installing the matching hookup to your generator so that there is no question.

it can but not well this is only a true 125watt amp might get 175watts if you run a 14volt setup

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............

A 15 amp grounded circuit can handle 1800 watts. This unit uses 1500 watts. I would not have anything else on the same circuit except perhaps one 100watt light bulb. I found my unit only heated within 3 feet,so I returned it. Maybe I got a lemon,but my heater was not an effective source of heat.

They said on my package "18 gauge" and "15 amp capacity", but I'd not be comfortable with 15 amps going thru that size wire for long.

I don't see why not. You just put the 15 Amp fuse in place of a 10 Amp one. Just make sure you're not overloading the circuit as the wiring is probably designed for certain combined amperage

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

14AWG should be handling up to 15A, I don't think this will be a good solution for that kind of amperage. I would suggest buying a single outlet extension wire for such purposes. I am not an expert, so please check some more

It has 16 ga wire which is fairly high amp available for most electronics. Don't know the item you listed requirements, but would guess it is less.

Yes, we have ours on a 15 amp breaker without a problem. Just don't share it with a toaster or other appliance.
