40/30 Amp Hot Tub?

[davedottcom]

I don't get it... is it 40 or 30? I've never hooked one up that didn't require a 50-Amp circuit.
If you click the link, then click on specs you'll see the electrical specs.

Am I missing something?

It seems to be 40Amps for N.America.

Ohhhhh! I didn't notice the N.America / Asia before the 40/30

Thanks!

Now, is this just the actual amperage of the equipment or the required overcurrent size?
I better call them!

If voltage remains the same there is no reason the current should change. Maybe the unit is rated for both 208 and 240 volts? Doesn't say that in the specs in the link, but maybe those are not all that accurate.

Yes, it only lists 240V but 2 amperages. Very strange!

It also lists 50/60 Hz. That will not change the current drawn by the heaters but will change the current drawn by the motor(s).
