What is actual amperage draw?
376672
Dear Sir or Madam, The sheet on on this unit provides the following information: Power Rating: 120V AC, 60Hz, 835W Thank you

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.

The 12 volt version will draw twice as many amps, requiring a larger wire size. Watts is watts, its a measure of power passed. Voltage x Amperage = watts so to get the same watts when you decrease voltage you end up pulling twice as many amps.

Not sure of the amp draw but these things draw barely anything. They can run off a 9 volt battery for a long time.

Not sure about actual amps. Ohms law says Watts X Volts equals amps,I do know that my i can turn on every light in my trailer ( aprox 15 ) and my didgital volt meter does not drop a tenth of a volt. If buying for RV you will be happy . Ive looked around enough to know.

most importantly your answer depends on the current draw from each strips and if you have them in series with each other or parallel. there is a mathematical equation to figure this out and is simple. I found this, I hope it helps............http://www.ehow.com/how_5630109_calculate-amperage.html

The other answer is correct about the unit draw being fairly low as compared to the heating element power draw. I actually measured mine and it came in at about 9.5 Amps instead of the 6.7 amps one would get using the standard DC based calculation. The heater runs on AC power and there is a power conversion factor based on the RMS voltage value for all AC circuits. If I remember right the power factor for 60hz AC is .707. This calculates closer to the 9.5 amps my meter is showing.

I do not know the amp draw but I recommend not using any cables that come with CCTV systems. I ended up building my own cables using 18 AWG Gauge (power) and 20 AWG CCA (RG59). Cheap cables will not provide the power to turn on the IR LEDs and the camera will shut down at dusk. I purchased a spool of this and recommend it: "RG59 Siamese Cable PE Jacket, 500 ft. Spool, For Outdoor Runs"

The low amp draw has to do with the starting current, not the running amps which is governed largely by horsepower produced. Must have some sort of soft start feature, but I don't know the details. It will start on a normal 115 volt, 15 amp circuit and operate. I've used a 25 foot, 14 ga, extension cord and had no problems running and starting on a normal household receptacle.

I don't think there is any such thing as "milliamp volts", since volts x amps (or milliamps) = watts (or milliwatts). The package says the current draw is 5.000 milliamps and I believe that rating is at 12 volts. Suffice it to say, the draw is negligible.

NO. this does not draw enough amperage. Hooked mine up with a 20A switch with a 10A fuse. Works great.

No, I think the questioner does mean watts. In applications where using a generator, such as a 2000w generator it is important to know the startup amps/watts so as not to overload the generator capacity. So I would repeat, does anyone know the startup watt draw? Start up amp draw would help as well.

I do not know for sure and the instructions do not indicate what the power draw is. My power supply is rated at 1 amp output if that helps. The strips were easy to install although I did have to make three of my interconnect cables longer by several feet but it was no big deal. I really like them and they do a nice job of illuminating my counter tops.

120 Volts, 60 Hz; continueous draw = 12.5 amps, minimun draw = 5 amps, BTU = 2,050-5,200; power use = variable from under 50% to 1,50eatts @ 100%.

Not sure of the "current draw" but it must plug into a 110V outlet. Probably not much draw as it only works a circuit board and small fan.

This chart only has a minimum of 50 foot, but it rates 0ga at 350 amps at 50 foot. https://weldingsupply.com/cgi-bin/enlarge.pl?main/Ampacity.gif:Suggested%20Ampacity%20Chart
