    max wattage per outlet on EB6

    Hi,

    What is the maximum wattage I can plug into each outlet on an EB6?
    I'm looking at a 300 watt pump and want to make sure that it will be ok.

    Thanks in advance

    Each outlet on a AU EB6 is rated for 8 Amps. At 240 volts, that’s 1920 Watts.

    This is correct for a resistive load like a heater. For a pump or other magnetic load like a ballast, the realistic maximum load would actually be around 1500W.

    You might be an engineer if...You have no life and can prove it mathematically.
