max load of 6-way digital power bar

[joeyvu]

Hello

I am wondering that what is the max load of 6-way digital power bar. I plan to hook up 100-w heater, 1/3 hp chiller and 2 x 150W HQi MH lights, might be propeller breeze in the near future. The reason, I don' t wanna buy another power bar unless I have to, and also want to control the tank temp.

Thank you

For USA and Canada the max load matches the max loading of a single wall socket which the power bar plugs into

15amps in total sum

Each socket can handle 15amps but that would mean you could not plug anything into the other 5 sockets.

Important - NEVER overload your wall socket, spread the laod when you get above 13 amps off one single wall socket.

What is the maximum watts and amps that the Australian version of the digital power can handle?

Not sure the the AU version but the USA candian is 15 amps

if you go to www.aquariumcomputer.com/forum you will get a more accurate answer

I had a look at the RC forums and it said:

Bar operated at 230V: 10A per socket, in sum 16A = 3680W

Given that AUS breakers are 1set at 0 amps normally I think that it will be 10 amps for the whole bar and 2400 watts.

Thanks.
