Default Re: Is too much wattage a bad thing?

I don't think wattage is so much of an issue as is the amps that it pulls. If your wiring can handle the amps you should be good to go and would ramp to temp pretty quick. Total wattage divided by voltage tells you the amps draw. You will be pulling 50 amps at 12000 watts. My Shop is wired for 200 amps with a 50 amp breaker for the oven.
