  • Product power inputs with a current ratings of 16A or less must have a branch circuit, or a supplementary overcurrent protection device, rated at no more than 20A.

  • Product power inputs with current rating of more than 16A must have a branch circuit, or a supplementary overcurrent protection device, rated at no more than 160% of the product input current rating.

  • Other national or local electrical codes might apply to the installation of this product.

As a general guideline, overcurrent protection devices should be rated at a minimum of 125% of the product input current rating in order to provide reliable power under high temperature and transient voltage disturbance conditions.
