what amp breaker is required?

The installation instructions require a 60 amp circuit beaker. I had mine connected to a 60 then I moved and now have it hooked up to a 50 amp. I had my brother test the amp usage of my unit and it uses between 42 - 44 amps at full draw. It has two heating elements and uses only one at 21 -22 amp draw unless you use enough water to kick in the second unit. Then it draws the full 42 - 44 amps. The heater only uses one heating element for a shower, but if you run the showing and a sink, then it uses both heating elements to meet the demand. They require 60, but mine runs on 50 just fine. I hope that helps with your decision. The installation instructions require a 60 amp circuit beaker. I had mine connected to a 60 then I moved and now have it hooked up to a 50 amp.

One 60amp double pole. Calls for number 6 wire, I used 8 and haven't any issues at all

The National Electrical Code requires wiring and overcurrent protection to be sized at 125% of the load for electric water heaters. A 60 amp breaker is the same price as a 40 or 50. It is the wire that costs more. #6 wire is required for a 60 amp circuit. If you undersize the wire it could overheat and catch fire. Protect your family and follow the manufacturers sizing for this, or any other, electrical device. Your families lives are worth the extra money. �

Just a regular old 15 amp, no fancy 20 amp, no changing of breakers needed. Fits any standard US 3 prong grounded socket.

You must have 3 40A breakers. You will want to install as close to electric box as possible.

I'm not sure what the amperage is, we have never had a problem with breakers in the box. We have blown the fuse in the pump.

There is an 8 amp breaker that will operate if the load is too great. That is IF you can get it started. We went camping and I now have tennis elbow.

when you install circuit breakers in your box The main or the top breaker should be only 30 amp ,as all rv parks have 30amp and 50 amp and this power control panel is only set up for a total of 30 amp Hope this helps

appears like you are going to be using around 5 amps should be a good low voltage choose .

This truly need a designated circuit. If not you can't use any other devices on that circuit. It will trip breaker. I had one installed upstairs and downstairs a few yrs ago for ac and heat. I plugged it into a outlet with just my computer and cell phone charger on it and it tripped. It maxes out 15 amp circuit. But it work very well keeps 900 sq ft room nice and comfy.

No additional breakers are required. The manual transfer switch has its own breakers and your existing service panel breakers are used so that each circuit is protected regardless of power source (obviously circuits NOT modified to be powered by the generator will be 'dead' during a power outage). Your choice of your "must have" circuits is important...I selected my furnace, refrigerator, two lighting circuits, living room wall outlets and basement lights. Thanks to LED bulbs, I can run all of those items on less than 4000 watts. I hope this helps. Stan

this is a 30 amp connection most circut breakers are 20 or 25amp this is more for high current like 1 line off a gennerator or contractor running equipment this is for over 2000 watts Also this is good if you run a very long cord the longer the cordthe lower gauge you will need to run something that uses lot of power, like 1800 watt hair blow dryer or electric heater

I'm running mine on a 40 amp breaker... But it also came with a 120v 20 amp adaptor so you could run it on a regular outlet with limits to output..

Used compact 1/0 al ( can accommodate expansion to full rating of panel (125 amp continuous duty). Did not need a subfeed breaker as feed directly from power company and not from another power panel.

it requires a regular 110 volt outlet with three prongs and at least a 20 amp breaker

Total load must be less than 15 amps or the breaker will pop. That's because only ONE plug of the wall outlet is powering the entire 6-plug device.

A 20 amp breaker is more than sufficient for one of these lamps. A normal residential wall switch will handle the load. If switching more than one bulb a commercial or industrial grade switch might be a good idea, I've seen some garbage residential grade switches out there. A 20 ampere circuit (@120V) would handle seven of these bulbs, including derating to 80%.

Tripplite's website shows that at full load it consumes 200 amps. If you plan on using it fully loaded, you may want a slightly larger fuse than 200, or use a circuit breaker. Fuse size also depends on the size and length of wiring you use to connect it to

I would suggest something mid range like 15 amps but definitely nothing higher than what was on the unit. The reason you blew the fuse was you put to high a load on it. By putting a higher rated fuse, your risking a fire.
