[Elecraft] power requirements for a K3S, KPA500, KAT500, P3?

[Michael Gillen]

Kind of a dumb question however here goes:

I got my K3S a short while ago and now I want to add the KPA500 and KAT500 to it however it just now occurred to me that I should check how much juice I need to power that thing!

I’m currently using an Alinco DM-330MV which I believe puts out 30A continuous however its probably plugged into one the house 15A lines.

So my questions are:

1) Will 15A house line supply enough juice for the K3S, KPA500, KAT500, and in the future a P3 Panadaper?

2) If not can I get away with replacing the breaker with a 20A breaker? 30A?

3) Will the Alinco be big enough or should I upgrade that as well?


Thanks guys,
Michael
