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.

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.


What is the recommended voltage for a 4500 watt water heater element?

The recommended voltage for a 4500 watt water heater element is typically 240 volts.


How much hydro does a 4800 watts heater use?

Your term "hydro" is another term for kilowatt hours. So to answer your question a 4800 watt heater on for an hour would consume 4.8 kilowatt/hours. To take it further if you knew what you pay for a kilowatt hour in your area, multiply it by 4.8 and you could see how much it costs you to operate the heater. An example if you pay .11 cents a kilowatt hour, the price would be .528 or 53 cents an hour.


How many amps will a 400 watt heater cartrige draw at 240 volts?

The formula you are looking for is I = W/E.


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.


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.


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 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?

Watts = Amps x Volts for a resistive load like a water heater.


How many amps are in 40 watts?

That depends on circuit voltage. 1 watt is equal to 1 volt times 1 amp.
