“What is the maximum load in Watts this will handle before the built-in circuit breaker trips? Specs say it is 105 Ams and 400 volts. That would be about 42000 Watts... that can't be right!?”

You can't believe everything you read, even spec sheets. No way this power strip is 105 amps. Probably a typo. Typically, these units will trip out at 15 amps. The 14 ga or 16 ga wire used in the power cord is also only rated at or around 15 amps. Since this unit is designed for 120 vac, the 400 volt rating doesn't make any sense (unless it is referring to what the individual ratings are for the different components that make up the product. The other possibility is that the specs you are referring to is what the surge protection system is designed to handle, which is nothing to do with the power strips nominal operating parameters.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.They say it is rated for 15 amps but mine is popping the breaker at 10 amps.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I believe all consumer grade strips top out at 25 amps. I'd only trust the 2100 joules of protection spec. Besides, circuit breaker trips are finicky and hard to predict. It is strange for the supposed OEM to have bad specs, except for China products. I noticed a number of strips in Best Buy with no specs on the package. So, buyer beware.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.This may not fully answer your question, but the Voltage Protection Rating stamped on the unit is 400 volts. I don't think it has a circuit breaker that trips; rather that is the capacity of the metal oxide varistor, or MOV, to absorb surges. The surges eventually burn out the MOV, and the unit must be replaced.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hello Tree, I am sorry for the misunderstanding, this is a standard 15A/120V power strip. The other metrics are referring to the surge protection.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It's rated for 2100 joules (metric power measure), meaning 2100 joules per second, or 2100 watts (1 watt is 1 joule/sec).
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes it is ,Power equals current multipled voltage. So 105AmsX400V=42kW(42,000W)
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Not sure but I have A/C unit and microwave on it and it has never popped the old one I couldn't run both
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Unsure if that. However here is what specs in box write.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.105,000 amps 400 volts.
