Hello, BB. The LG 10,000 BTU (SACC) / 14,000 BTU (ASHRAE) DUAL Inverter Smart Wi-Fi Portable Air Conditioner, Model # LP1419IVSM must be plugged into a dedicated, standard 120V , 3-wire grounding receptacle rated 15A / 120 VAC / 60 Hz, protected by a 15 A, time delay fuse or 15 A, circuit breaker. Common causes of a fuse for a portable air conditioner tripping or blowing include an overloaded circuit due to multiple appliances or devices being plugged into a socket that shares the same circuit as the socket you are plugging the portable air conditioner to. When multiple appliances or devices are connected to the same circuit, the total power draw can exceed the circuit’s capacity. This can cause the circuit breaker or fuse to trip, cutting off power to the entire circuit. A dedicated circuit is an electrical circuit designed to transmit an electrical current to one major appliance. It is different from a shared circuit, which splits electrical currents into multiple loads. A dedicated circuit is set aside with a specific purpose and has its own circuit breaker in your electrical box. It is intended for use with a single appliance or outlet. Dedicated circuits ensure proper electrical demands are met and prevent safety hazards. If the fuses in your circuit are too small, they will blow prematurely even when the air conditioner is operating normally. Damaged or loose wiring can create a short circuit, which can trip the fuses and can create electrical resistance, leading to excessive heat buildup. This can cause the fuse to blow as a safety measure to prevent electrical fires...^Ivan.
