Is the circuit breaker a thermal and will trip over 15A ?

Not thermal, yes it will trip around 15A, if you breaker doesn't trip first.

That is a power switch. As far as I know it offers no protection from a power surge.

It always depends on what you are plugging into the strip. This is a basic strip and is good for multiple small appliances or electronics. You should not use this to plug in your PC, Printer, modem, monitor or other major electronics. For Hi tech electronics I would recommend a battery back-UPS ES 8 Outlet 550VA 120V to protect your equipment from sudden power lose or surges will working on your pc.

If the control pane is blank, and you're sure the outlet it's plugged into has power, it may have thrown the internal circuit breaker. Open the front panel, inside there is a 15amp circuit breaker. Very obvious. Make sure it is up/on. Mine has been blowing that every few days lately. Navien says they think its a bad recirculation pump.

Hi my name is Steve Alsworth, I've responded earlier and somehow lost the email on my phone. The thermal switch turns on or closes the circuit at 35 degrees, and turns off or opens the circuit at 46 degrees, give take a degree. I hope this is helpful, perhaps if there's anything else I could do for you just ask me at stevealsworth@q.com

I have it plugged into a 15 amp breaker and if I run anything like a toaster or a microwave it will cause the breaker to jump

I ended up sending this back, it was too big and blew the circuit breaker. So I never had it up and running at full heat. Sorry

My whole housing melted connected to 15A circuit so I never got the chance to replace it. If it is not a must need return it for something that expressly states the Amps you need on the housing.

i use mine on a daily basis on a 15 amp breaker and its alright .. but if u run it at the max setting for to long the breaker is gonna be popping every 5 min (hot welds )

I'm not qualified to answer that question. I'm not a professional. I'm using it for lighting & a bath fan. I use a 15 amp breaker with 14g wire, not a 20. I always check manufactures recommendations. There may be local codes as well to consider when running a new circuit.

There should be an overload breaker, but there is a thermostat that you set and the heater will not exceed the set temperature. I have never had any problems with overheating with either heater (I own two of these, one for two winters).

It will function but you must keep all contacts very clean. Any oxidation will cause heat to build any will overheat the conectors. It may get hot anyway. It is a little light duty. 15 amp outlets often have 15 amp breakers. The A/C probably is less than 15 amps but it would be worthwhile to check. I am assuming it is av110v A/C unit.

mine does fine on 15Amp breaker - there is a surge when you start first, but when it runs it runs - no problem

According to the literature supplied it can draw up to 15.1 amps at 120 volts. I have it plugged into a 15 amp circuit and it has yet to trip it on either heating or cooling modes.

It trips (presumably because it overheats triggering a safety switch, not the breaker in the electric circuit) when plugged into a standard wall socket (no extension cord). It trips at HIGH setting 1200 watts but does not trip at 800 watts. She set it closer to herself and gets along at the lower setting with considerable complaint. Sorry to have been unclear in the original review which I was trying to keep short.

Just remember not to exceed the 10a limit, I really don't recommend running it at 10a if you dont have to, and if you do, try to get more cooling. Make sure the plus and minus are the correct polarity, and (not neccessary, but recomended) put a little voltage moniter on the output, to make sure that it is not going above 19.5v

The service tag says Max 15 but operational is 9.6 if I recall. I have a 15 Amp breaker for it and it seems to work just fine.

The wiring is unusually high gauge. I wouldn't run it above 15A which is more than enough for almost ALL 12V plug in items.

That all depends on the amount of amp service you have for where ever you are plugging in this unit. I believe this unit uses 9.8 amps. We had a 15 amp breaker for the room we were using this unit in. It never tripped our breaker. I suggest you double check the amps this unit uses (like I said, I thought it was 9.8 but double check that!!) and check the amps you have to that area.
