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.

Another thing to remember that if everyone on site is trying to draw the maximum 10amps you may all end up with nothing!!!!------------- Helen xx
