A:Answer Hi, Nick! We appreciate your inquiry and thank you for reaching out to us. This unit's amperage is 8.5 amperes. To determine the appropriate size of a breaker for a circuit that will handle 8.5 amperes, you typically round up to the nearest standard breaker size that is equal to or greater than 8.5 amperes. Common breaker sizes are typically available in increments like 15A, 20A, 30A, etc. Since you need a breaker that can safely handle 8.5 amperes without tripping under normal operating conditions, the smallest suitable breaker size would be a 15-amp breaker. This provides a safety margin above the 8.5-amp requirement to accommodate any fluctuations or minor overloads that might occur. Therefore, a 15-amp breaker would be appropriate for a circuit that needs to handle 8.5 amperes of current. We hope you find this information helpful! ~Juan
