Title: 3000w gutter vac
Post by: CF Facilities on May 22, 2013, 07:15:38 am

Hi any electricians on today? I am considering buying a 3000w gutter vac can I plug that into the customer socket in home. The reason I ask is that according to my calculations it will draw 13amps which is right on the limit. I won't use all three motors all the time I guess.

What do you think?

If in doubt buy the 2400w numatic twin.. These 3000w vac's look way to big for normal housing jobs IMO.

I use a 3000watt ets never had a problem with custys electric and you will use all 3 vacs everytime because of the size 2 vacs feels crap.

I have a 4200 watt vac and it works fine in a standard outlet. A genny for that size will be expensive, I've never had a customer refuse me use of electric.
