[QUOTE="vladfi, post: 551599, member: 37646"] I'm planning on running 1000W from a 5amp circuit (round pin, switched from the wall). At 230V, this should only draw 4.3amps, which is a bit close to the limit. Is there any danger here? I'm also thinking of putting a 5amp fuse in the plug just to be safe. I'm curious if the fuse orientation matters at all -- I assume not because it's AC, but just wanted to double check. [/QUOTE]
