Technically it's a 20 amp load (20A x 240V = 4800W). However, you should not run a breaker at full load. The breaker is to protect the wiring from overheating and from short circuits. You should use 10 gauge wire and a 30 amp double pole breaker.

How many watts is 240 volt 30 amp fuse rated for?
i have a 4800 watt heater that's 240 volts. What size breaker is needed?
Can my heater use 240 volts on a 20 amp breaker?
It could, it depends on what the manufacturer's nameplate reads as to the voltage and amperage of the heater.
Do you need a neutral to install 480 volts 3 phase heater?
If the heater is rated as a 3 phase 480 volt heater then a neutral is not needed. If the voltage stated is 277 volts three phase then a neutral is needed.
How many amp circuit breaker is needed for a 1000 watt 240 volt electric baseboard heater?
Watts = Amps x Volts. Amps = Watts/Volts = 4.16. The smallest breaker in a house panel is 15 amps. You will need a 2 pole 15 amp breaker. On a # 14 wire you can load that circuit up to 12 amps.
How many amp circuit breaker is needed for a 800 watt 240 volt electric baseboard heater?
800 watts/ 240 Volts = 3.34 amps 14AWG wire with a 15 amp will do
How many amp breaker is needed for 4000 watts at 220 volts?
The equation that you are looking for is I = W/E. Amps = Watts / Volts.
What size breaker is needed for a freezer?
Home freezers run on 120 volts and require AWG #12 wire on a 20 amp breaker.
How big of a circuit breaker needed for two 1500 watt that are 240 volts?
A 30 amp breaker wired with AWG #10 wire.
How do you test a 30 amp circuit breaker?
If the breaker is in the distribution panel and you have a volt meter check the circuit for 120 volts to the neutral or ground. If there is 120 volts present on the terminal the breaker is operational. Turn the breaker off, if the voltage disappears the breaker is operational. It is not recommended to do a load test on a breaker of this amperage due to the high wattage load needed to trip the breaker.
How many Breakers needed to wire an electric furnace?
The electric furnace operates on 240 volts so a two pole breaker is needed.
Can i use a 70 amp for a 10kw heat strip?
To answer this question the voltage is needed. At 120 volts the current would be too high for a 70 amp breaker and for 240 volts the breaker rating would be too big.
What size ciruit breaker needed to run a 110v heater 500 watts?
The current is 500/110 amps and you add 25% so the answer is 6 amps.
