Does anyone happen to know what wattage the 24v hella socket is on an MAN TGX?

2

As far as I remember Watts are Volts x Amps. So if you know what fuse it has then times that by 24 you should get a maximum wattage figure.

i know its enought boil a kettle but not enough to run a microwave

hth :laughing:

Thats exactly why I want to know. I want to order a kettle and dont want that will blow the fuses but dont want one that takes 4 hours to boil! :unamused: :smiley:

They have two in the middle of the dash at the bottom, one is 180w the other is 300w. This is on an xxl not sure about the others.

6

Mine’s about as bog standard as they come (56plate btw). 24v 300w and 12v 180w could even take a picture as I’m sat waiting for 45mins to pass :unamused: only 3 to go now though :grimacing:

7

the 24v socket will boil a 24v kettle in about 5 mins, well enough for a cup of tea anyway, if you are doing the washing up it may take a bit longer :stuck_out_tongue:

It’s looking like 300w is the answer then . . . :sunglasses:

Ok so I’ve now discovered the ■■■ lighter in a MAN is also 24v but anyone know the wattage or amps its capable of?

Not 100% sure, the same I think but wouldn’t want to bet on it.

If it runs off a 10a then 10x24 would be 240w would it not? What size is the fuse that is wired to the ■■■ lighter?
It has already been said how to work it out, so do the math and you’ll know what it’s capable of.

Not that easy when the unit is 10 miles away :unamused:

You can just about get away with boiling a kettle off the 24v (15amp) socket but not off the ■■■ lighter (10 amp) socket.
