"Tapping into dedicated circuit" reminds me: 'Saw power to an elec. water
heater several years tapped directly into the SERVICE DROP just upstream of
the service weather head - that's not only no metering, it's no fusing, as
well, 'cept whatever may be provided at the transmission transformer!

I may be a little out of date, but I know my NEC and NFPA. I can assure
you that tapping into a dedicated branch circuit like that would be a
no-no.

Its definitely something you can wire, but looks hokey and probably a
violation of the NEC.

That is pretty much what I am seeing as I look at various product

limited working life.
It would be fairly easy to tap into the AC circuit ahead of the
maintenance cutout. I'm just not terribly keen about doing that, as it
would be a clear violation of code and pretty obvious as well.
How much wattage do you need?
Why not tap off and run the wires to a small box with its own
breaker/fuse and cutoff switch? That should be legit. You'll want to be
observant of 120/240 V issues, too.
