Using the formula: Amps = Watts/Volts look up the wire size needed in the national electric code book for the amperage of the device. This formula only works for single phase current. If you are using 3 phase, look in the book. In general, 15 Amps or less: 14 Ga Copper wire. 20 Amps or less 12 Ga. 30 Amps or less 10 Ga. Anything more than 30 amps, look it up in the book.

The size of wire needed for a heat pump typically depends on the unit's amperage draw and the distance from the power source. Generally, for residential heat pumps, 10 to 6 AWG wire is commonly used, but it's essential to consult the manufacturer's specifications and local electrical codes. Additionally, consider factors like voltage drop and circuit protection when selecting the appropriate wire size. Always ensure a qualified electrician reviews your specific installation requirements.
10/3 wire with 30 amp double pole breaker from panel box to water heater.
The size of the circuit breaker for a 240V, 60Hz garage heater typically depends on the heater's wattage. A common rule of thumb is to choose a breaker rated at 125% of the heater's full load current. For example, if the heater is rated at 4,000 watts, the current draw would be approximately 16.7 amps, so a 20-amp circuit breaker would be appropriate. Always consult the manufacturer's specifications and local electrical codes for precise requirements.
Usually 30 amp
The cost of a heat pump water heater typically ranges from 1,000 to 3,500, depending on the brand, size, and features.
Pool electric heat pump prices differ according to the size of the heat pump and the services offered. Pool heat pump prices range between $2500 at the low end, and $4800 on the high end.
It works this way. Even if you could set the thermostat at 200 it will not heat the water any quicker. It sounds as if you have an undersized heater. A larger heater will heat the water faster if your system can upgrade to the larger size heater. Your house will not heat up any faster if you set the thermostat to maximum. It is the output capacity of the heater that determines how fast it will heat. What dictates heater size is: the size of the gas line. the length of the gas line run from the meter to the heater. the size of the meter. how many GPM the pump is producing. the GPM capacity of the filter. the size of the plumbing in you pool ~ 1.5"; 2"; 3" total gallons in the pool. are among a few. Just common sense here...... k
You should contact a certified, and licensed electrician.
Well, it depends on the size of heat pump and the size of pool! However, a 30x12 ft, 2-3.5ft deep pool with an 18kw heater will take 4 to 5 days.
The size of a heat pump that you can use for a pool which is 18 feet wide by 33 feet long and has a depth of 4.5 feet can vary depending on specific brand of heat pump you wish to purchase. The minimum size of heat pump for an above ground pool of this size in 102,000 BTU.
it is a 12 seer 4 ton heat pump
The time it takes to heat a water heater can vary depending on the size and type of the heater. On average, it can take anywhere from 30 minutes to a few hours for a water heater to heat up completely.
