Hi all,

I know this keeps getting asked but cant remember the answer.

We are going aaway on thursday and the campsite's EHU is 10 amps.

How many watts can you run off 10amps?

Cheers

Scott

In theory 2300 watts, as long as the site is providing 230 volts (it can be less), and be aware that some appliances (microwave, for instance and some tellys) can draw more than their `running` wattage when they start up.

Hi

We just used a 1.8 kw heater on a 6w electric hook up, with no problem, though it did trip when i tried to plug 2nd heater in, doh, mind you it was -3 outside and the coldest we have ever been in a tent
