BG047131714 26/04/2022
I have found this product works well when installed in the kitchen, hand washing and washing dishes. This is the 4th unit of this style that I have purchased. The first 2 units were of the US plug type (110 Volt) with a 3000 watt element. The US plug units do not last very long as the amperage is too large for the internal relay and failure of the relay occurs (within 4 to 8 months). Due to the high amperage of the US plug unit, the operation of the relay is very audible in order to open and close the contacts of the high amperage of the unit. Both of the first 2 units (US Plug) failed within a short time frame. The 3rd unit purchased was a EU plug (220 Volt) with 3800 Watt element. The EU plug was removed from the cable and replaced with a US plug (it is important to identify the color coding of the wires when doing this). The wall outlet was rewired from the existing 110 volt to a 220 volt wall outlet. The unit now operates at 220 Volt with a US plug that has been rewired for 220 Volt. The operation of the relay of the EU plug unit is not audible as it was with the US plug unit as the relay has half the amperage to control. Based on the operation of the EU plug unit (that has been modified for US plug - 220 volt operation), I purchased this 4th unit. I believe this unit will provide a longer service life than the US Plug units. Would buy this product (EU Plug - 220 volt) again if needed. Would not recommend buying the US plug -110 volt) version of this product, unless very limited use is anticipated.

Q: Is a 16a fuse OK for this?

gefragt von Greek spiros auf 2020-01-19 02:16:48

BG047131714 A 16A fuse will work if you are using a 220 volt power source. 3800 watts divided by 220 volt = 17.27A. It may not comply with the electrical code in your country, but it should operate without blowing the 16A fuse.

Q: works with 16 A fuse ?

BG047131714 The 3000 watt element operated on a 220 volt circuit will run on a double pole 15 amp breaker.

BG047131714 Update:Have now installed this unit. Used a 20 amp circuit breaker in the panel (existing), #10 wire from the panel to the wall receptacle and a 20 amp wall outlet receptacle. The US plug is accepted by the 20 amp wall receptacle. The 20 amp circuit breaker seems to be able to handle the load as use is of short duration (supplies a kitchen sink only). The light on the front of the unit is green when in "standby" mode, turns to red when element is energized. There is an audible "click" from the internal relay that turns the heating element "on" and "off". Hot water is too hot for the hand. Seems to work very well.

BG047131714 The instructions that came with the unit indicate 50 - 60 Hz. My installation is 60 Hz and it works fine.

BG047131714 The US plug unit (120 volt) has a 3000 watt heating element. My guess is that the 220 volt unit has a 3800 watt element.

Q: how is this 3800w but only 10amp on 110/220?

gefragt von Jason auf 2020-09-13 08:42:06

BG047131714 It is not 10 amp. My calculation indicates 17 amp at 220 volt. The US plug unit has a 3000 watt element operating on 120 volt so it needs a 25 amp circuit breaker and a
