This is normal home voltages.
You will need a 20 amp duplex receptacle, 20A.breaker with 12 gauge wire from the fuse/breaker box to wall plug/receptacle, to run it @ full amp output.
A 15 amp circuit will not be suffice @ full load and it would be advisable that it is the only device operating on the circuit at one time, or the circuit will be overloaded.
It would be possible to operate it with a 15 amp circuit but only in the lower amp outputs as higher amprage will cause the breaker to do it's job and open the circuit or "blow" the breaker as it sometimes said.
it is always better to have excess amperage available than too little.

Thanks for your help! Basically we have an outdoor breaker box, with a line and a 20 amp breaker running to our barn, pool, and outdoor receptacles. So, that should be enough to run it, as long as nothing else is pulling on the line...I would think.
