How much power can I draw from the 220/240 volt outlet on the Quick 220 Power Tap?
• The Quick 220 Power Tap will supply 15 or 20 amperes, depending upon the model selected. • If your equipment is rated in watts, 15 amperes at 220 volts is the same as 3300 watts and 20 amperes at 220 volts is the same as 4400 watts. • For the 15 ampere (3300 watt) systems, momentary loads of 75 amperes or 16,500 watts can be supported. For the 20 ampere (4400 watt) systems, the momentary load is 100 amperes (22,000 watts). Momentary loads are often encountered when starting motors or when powering up electronic equipment. • One can not draw more current (amperes) from the wall outlet than its circuit breaker or fuse rating. This includes the current required by your 220/240 volt load plus any 110/120 volt item which may share the same circuit: lamps, stereos, hair dryers, etc. It may be necessary to disconnect the lamps, stereos, hair dryers, etc., if you trip a circuit breaker and need to reset it..
