The manufacturers tag is too faded to get this info. All I'm sure of is that it's a 24 bulb bed and 240 volts ac.

  1. tanning beds are normally 30 Amps.....#10 wire


  2. call a tanning bed supplier they may be able to offer you info or look up the manufacture on the web

  3. You can take the number of lamps multiply the wattage with that and devide the answer by your voltage. This will give you an idea of the amp draw and the wire and circut  protector will be supplied by the final answer. If your close on amp draw like 14.7 amps go on to 20 Amps for wire size and breaker. this allowes for a little over heating. Also remember the length is important (always sized for under 100 feet from the supplu pannel, If over 100 feet increase the wire 1 size and keep the breaker at the design load.).

  4. You figure the wire size and breaker by the true amp draw.

  5. Try to clean the label plate with soap and water, then use a flashlight with a piece of red material over the lens. Hold it at an angle and look at it from the side and bottom.  Many of the numbers will be visible. Next choice is to call the manufacturer ansd ask for a replacement owner/service manual  Good luck.
