This will pull 20 Amps continuous so you will need a 30 A breaker and 10 AWG wire. You would have Black, Red, White and Ground. The 240 V would be on the black and red connected to the output from a two pole 240 A breaker. White would be neutral and green or bare wire would be ground.

A 208V water heater can te be replaced by a 240V water heater?
Yes but you will not get the full watt rating out of the tank. Watts = amps x volts. Say the tank draws 20 amps. 20A x 240V = 4800 watts. 20A x 208V = 4160 watts. It will take longer to heat your water with less wattage.
If a 325 watt heater has a current of 6.0A what is the resistance?
Watts = Current x Volts with your resistive heat application. To figure out resistance you need to know voltage and current. Since you are drawing 6 amps then Volts = 325/6. This means that there is about 54 volts supplying the heater which seems like a very strange supply voltage. Since Volts = Current x Resistance the resistance = 325/36.
How many watts on a 40 amp circuit breaker?
about 4800 watt but should not use it 100% so to be safe 4000 watt (80%)
What is the volt of a zero watt bulb?
120 volts.
What size breakers are needed for two 500 watt baseboards?
Each baseboard heater will draw a little over 4 amps at 120 volts or 2 Amps at 240 volts. The total number of baseboards on a circuit will draw the sum of these amps. Keep the load under 80% of the amperage rating of the breaker.
Is 30 amp double pole breaker ok for 4800 watt wall heater?
Yes, a 30 amp double pole breaker would be suitable for a 4800 watt wall heater. Since watts equals volts multiplied by amps, this wall heater on a 240-volt circuit would draw 20 amps (4800 watts/240 volts), which is less than the 30 amp capacity of the breaker.
Can a 4800 watt water heater run on a double pole 15 amp breaker?
Current in amps = watts/ voltage in volts. If you have a 240 volt supply, it will draw 4800/240 = 20 amps, so no. This is a very powerful water heater, and would normally be wired into a dedicated circuit, presumably with a 30 amp breaker.
How much hydro does a 4800 watts heater use?
To determine the hydro usage of a 4800-watt heater, you would need to know the length of time the heater is running. For example, if the heater runs for 1 hour, it would use 4.8 kWh (4800 watts x 1 hour = 4800 watt-hours = 4.8 kWh) of electricity. You can calculate the usage by multiplying the wattage of the heater by the number of hours it is in operation.
How many amps will a 400 watt heater cartrige draw at 240 volts?
To calculate the amperage, you can use the formula: Amps = Watts / Volts. In this case, a 400-watt heater cartridge at 240 volts would draw 1.67 amps.
Can you run one 1500 watt heater on a 125V- 15A 60Hz power strip?
Yes, a 1500 watt heater operating on 120 volts has an amperage of A = W/V. Amps = Watts/Volts = 1500/120 = 12.5 amps. It is not a recommended practice to do so.
A 208V water heater can te be replaced by a 240V water heater?
Yes but you will not get the full watt rating out of the tank. Watts = amps x volts. Say the tank draws 20 amps. 20A x 240V = 4800 watts. 20A x 208V = 4160 watts. It will take longer to heat your water with less wattage.
What size breaker for a 1500 watt 120 volt heater?
To calculate the breaker size for a 1500-watt 120-volt heater, use the formula: Breaker size = Power (Watts) / Volts. In this case, 1500 watts / 120 volts = 12.5 amps. Therefore, you would need a 15-amp breaker for a 1500-watt 120-volt heater to allow for a safety margin.
What is watt volts?
Watt volts is not an electrical term. Watts are the product of amps times volts.
Will a 110 electric heater produce the same amount of heat as a 220 heater at 1000 watts?
No, a 1000-watt electric heater operating at 110V will produce the same amount of heat as a 1000-watt heater operating at 220V. The power output (in watts) determines the amount of heat produced, not the voltage.
What is the number of AMPS for a 240V 2400 watt water heater?
To calculate the amperage, use the formula: Amps = Watts / Volts. In this case, it would be 2400 watts / 240 volts = 10 amps. Therefore, the water heater would draw 10 amps of current.
How many amps are in 40 watts?
That depends on circuit voltage. 1 watt is equal to 1 volt times 1 amp.
Can i use 10amp fuse for 1000 watts instant heater?
No, you should not use a 10 amp fuse for a 1000 watt instant heater. To determine the appropriate fuse amperage, you can use the formula Watts = Volts x Amps to calculate the required amperage. For a 1000 watt heater operating at 120 volts, you would need a 10 amp fuse (1000 watts / 120 volts = 8.33 amps), but it's generally recommended to use a fuse with slightly higher amperage for safety margins.
