WARNING – DO NOT EXCEED ELECTRICAL RATINGS: • The maximum load rating of each individual AC outlet is 7 amps; do not exceed this. • The total current/power draw for all active outlets must not exceed 15 amps or 1500 watts, whichever is less.

In his first post he posted 15,000.... He since corrected and edited his first post to state 1500.
