Electrical Question

New AQ will arrive next week and I have the place figured out where I wan't to put it in my outside kitchen. I read that the AQ draws 7 amps. The outlet I want to plug into will also have my little fridge plugged into it. I have no idea how many amps these little fridgerators draw. Anybody have a simmilar situation. Wan't to make sure I don't have a problem.

Without knowing the draw of the fridge I can't be certain, but I think you'll be fine. Those little ones don't draw much.

You may be able to access the manufacturer specifications for the fridge online. I'd say locate the exact model number on the tag except you'd probably find the current draw there as well.
I'm assuming the manuf. cares enough to publish this information.

it has to have a label on it showing its current draw. I will most likely list it in amps with a A beside a number or sometimes you will see it in watts.

watts divided by volts equals amps
one more item just because you have a 20 amp circuit doesnt mean you can attach that much

only 16 amps allowed on a 20
