Can you use 12-2 with ground to wire a 2000 watt forced air heater to a 240 volt 30 amp breaker?

Should you be doing this yourself?)
Can a 12-2 wire be connected to a 20-amp 240-volt circuit breaker to power a 240-volt heater?
There are limitations.
If there is a 120-volt fan in the heater, it will be necessary to run a 12-3 wire, so that there is a conductor for the 120 load neutral.
With a strictly 240 operation, the maximum wattage that can be served by a 20-amp circuit is 3840 watts. It is allowed to continuously operate a circuit at 80% of it's rated ampacity [4800 watts]. Continuous operation is defined as 4 hours or more continual operation.
<><><>
As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.
Before you do any work yourself,
on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,
always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.

What size breaker and wire for 2000 watt heater?
A 2000 watt heater draws 8.3 amps on a 240 v supply, so the cutout should be set to 10 or 12 amps. <<>> In North America a 2000 watt baseboard heater will be fed with a two pole 15 amp breaker. A two wire cable of #14 copper will be used to connect the supply voltage to the heater.
How many amps does a 2000 watt heater draw at 240 volts?
Amps * Volts = Watts So, Watts / Volts = Amps 2000 / 240 = 8.333 Amps You should run the circuit on a two pole 15 Amp breaker, using 14 AWG, 2 conductor (plus ground) wire, just so you have a little safety factor in the circuit size.
How can you plug 2000 watts 240v into a 120v 20 amp breaker with out replacing your breaker and all the plugs on the line?
You cannot safely plug a 2000 watt 240v appliance into a 120v 20 amp breaker without risking damage or fire hazard. To use the appliance, consider installing a step-up transformer to convert the voltage from 120v to 240v before plugging it in. This will ensure the appliance operates correctly without overloading the circuit.
How many watts does an immersion use?
An immersion heater typically uses around 1500-2000 watts of power when heating water. The exact wattage can vary depending on the size and type of the immersion heater.
Where is the Circuit breaker located on 2000 Ford Windstar and how do you test it to see if it needs replacing?
The circuit breaker on a 2000 Ford Windstar is typically located in the fuse box under the hood or in the interior fuse panel. To test it, you can use a multimeter to check for continuity across the terminals. If there is no continuity or if the circuit breaker appears damaged, it may need to be replaced.

Why is your 2000 Ford F550 ruining so many heater cores?
Start with the electrical ground strap between the engine block and the battery and the Chassis. If either of these are even a tiny bit questionable it will cause electricity to go through the coolant and ground through the heater cor and radiator. This will cause corrosion and ruin the core.
Can you run a 2 kw convector heater through a 25 amp trip switch at 240 volts?
Yes, the total amperage load of a 2000 watt heater at 240 volts is 8.3 amps. Keep in mind that the wire feeding the heater must be a #10 because the breaker is rated at 25 amps. A wire's ampacity rating can be larger that the breaker amperage rating but never smaller. Example, a #14 rated at 15 amps or a #12 rated at 20 amps can not be connected to a 25 amp breaker. The 25 amp breaker does not trip until it reaches 25 amps well over the allowable amperage of the #14 amd #12 wire. This is why a #10 wire must be used as its rating is 30 amps.

Work you way from the blower motor first by checking that it has both power and ground and then check the rest of the electrical system............
