    Whoops, somehow I wasn't posted of replys...

    Watts = amps x volts. 3,500x 110 = 31 amps The unit is good for 25ish as a max continous load. I really don't want much more than 20 for extended periods. This is a bandaid to keep from killing the boys.

    I'd LOVE a $3,500 unit that automatically cuts in. Unfortunately, it's not currently in the cards although I thought about it. BTW, isn't that what unemployed spouse's are for? ;)
