The answer is simple. The block heater is probably in the 500 - 800 watt range. If it came on new car, your dealer should be able to tell you what wattage it is. KAT'S is known brand and can be purchace at http://www.partsamerica.com/BrandCategories.aspx?MfrCode=FIV stores The 15 amp curcuit you are plugging block heater into has nothing to do with the wattage of the heater. It is only a curcuit breaker that trips if more the 1800 watt is applied to it.
