Having blown up a camera before I want to make sure before I plug anything in
(as there is no facility for setting or selecting current or amps)

Graham, I have one of these Hubs too. The voltage is the same as that which is supplied into the Hub - i.e. 12 V DC. The amperage is also limited by the amperage of the power supply you are using to power the hub. For that you should do a quick inventory of the devices you plan to runn off the Hub - i.e. dew heaters, focuser, filter wheel (if it is not a USB wheel), camera, Gemini or HEQ6 etc mount. I use a 23 Amp power supply and that way am covered for pretty well everything.
