Low load, on a high amp circuit (Ed.)

What is the breaker rating?

its on a 20amp d curve breaker

...it wouldnt be hard to swap the 32amp on the cable to a 16 for now so why would i swap to the commando on the wall to some 13amp plugs?

Just as easy.

Just as easy.

well whats your logic for having it on a 13amp plug then instead of the commando thats there?

Just as easy.

Two things to swap rather than one.

And if the unit currently has a 32A plug, it probablly has a 4mm² flex, getting a 13A plug on that is likely to be somewhere between very difficult and impossible, whereas getting a 16A commando on is likely more doable.

it wouldnt be hard to swap the wire im more just talking logically it makes more sense to swap the commando with a 16amp than try to put a 13amp plug on it in my head atleast

from what i can tell it’s a slow charge so i really doubt it’s going to be alot manual says an amp so

A UPS, must have the amps input, to match load, plus to recharge the batteries in a reasonably time..

i know that but that is not my point i will not be drawing a 20 amp load it will be like 7 amps maybe 8 if the batterys are charging

I would expect the 1amp, to be when the batteries have fully recovered, the recharge current, will be much higher than than.
