Ok. I think this is the installation manual for the Dometic Brisk Air HE (High Efficiency) Unit. I have this unit installed and have been using it for a couple years. On a 15amp circuit. Never trips the breaker. Dometic indicates it to be installed on a 15 amp circuit.
Dometic Brisk Air High Efficiency
So, it does. I sit corrected.
The website here:
https://www.manualslib.com/manual/1061939/Dometic-541815.html?page=4#manual
lists the 3.5kw units as 20 amp and the 2.5kw units as 15 amp. Under "nominal capacity" it lists neither 15,000 BTU nor 13,500 BTU. It lists as "N/A." (They even have some 20 amp units listed as 11,000 BTU.)
On some of Dometic's "models", they could NOT get a 15k BTU rating. They fell short of 15k so they dropped the actual BTU rating and stated "HE". They are close enough to 15k, but are NOT really 15K. They developed those 2 models for the Class B van market where they install smaller Onan 2.5kw gensets. Doug
