    Default Need electrical help

    I’ve got an electric pressure washer and every time I plug it in, it trips the breaker. Why?

    Too many amps

    Find a dedicated circuit with 30 amp breaker and you should be fine. Amp draw normally not more than 15 except on startup

    But quality batteries. Those cheap Dollar Store batteries can't produce enough voltage.

    Use a different outlet. You've got too much amp draw with the freezer on the same circuit.
