What size of circuit breakers needed to run two 1500 watt heaters in parallel that are 240 volts?
I = W/E. 1500/240 = 6 amps for each heater. In parallel the total connected load will be 12 amps. A #14 conductor is rated at 15 amps and de rated to 80% can carry 12 amps continuous. The breaker needed for this would be a two pole 15 amp breaker. If this is a new installation I would use a #12 conductor for the two heaters on a two pole 20 amp breaker. The conductors will run much cooler using a larger size.
What else can I help you with?
Can double pole circuit breakers be changed into single to create more room in the pannel box?
No, double pole circuit breakers cannot be changed into single pole breakers. The breakers are designed for specific functions and changing them can create a safety hazard. If more space is needed in the panel box, consider upgrading to a larger panel box or rearranging the circuits to free up space.
What property would you be testing for if you are using a circuit breaker?
A circuit breaker is not a test instrument, it is a kind of switch that interrupts the supply when that is needed, but it is more than that because circuit breakers are specialised items, and examples exist that can interrupt currents of hundreds or thousands of amps at very high voltage.
What circuit breakers will interchange with ITE EQ-T?
the standard or the square D will fit ,you just have to remove 4 little bits plastic and two little bits of metal the rest of the houseing and the rating is very close yes you can also put a torch to the main breaker and burn your whole house down. Some breaker are interchangeable with others, but you should NEVER modify the breaker to fit! Breakers are UL listed to their panels when you install a "unclassified" breaker your UL listing for that breaker and the whole panel is now void.
What pushes the current around the circuit?
A voltage supply is needed to operate a circuit.
How does drawable circuit breaker look like?
in a single line diagram it looks like this ( ____/ ___ ) while regular circuit breaker looks like this ____/ ____ the difference is that the first one can be removed from its place if maintenance is needed, while the regular one you can't. Viva Palestine

If more space is needed in the panel box, consider upgrading to a larger panel box or rearranging the circuits to free up space.
Can you provide a demonstration of the functionality of the circuit breakers with a test button?
A circuit breaker with a test button allows you to simulate an overload situation by pressing the button. This helps you ensure that the circuit breaker is working properly and will trip when needed to protect the electrical system.
What size breaker should you use if you have a 1500 and a 1000 watt heater run together?
The size of the breakers depends on the voltage. According to the NFPA electrical standard (USA), if the two heaters you describe are "120 volt plug-in" then they are not allowed on the same circuit. Two circuits are needed. The largest general use circuit allowed for 120 volt receptacles is 20 amps and this will not handle your two appliances. An exception may exist if they are hard wired to a dedicated circuit, or if they are 240 volt.
Why is hvac not cooling house?
First question would be did it ever work ok. If not it could be undersized or a repair is needed. Fuses, circuit breakers? Coils clean and filters clean?
What is a circuit with more than one path to flow?
All the branch circuits in your house are parallel. They have a constant voltage applied to any device plugged into an outlet. If you thought about an analogy for a parallel circuit, imagine that the rails on each side of rungs represented the hot and neutral wires of a typical household branch circuit. The rungs would be the loads connected in parallel. Each "load" draws the current needed to operate the specific device. The sum of all the currents for the "loads" is equal to the total current being supplied through the circuit.
What would the voltage be if you had 78 volts with a parallel circuit of 10k 10k 10k 10k 5k?
because the circuit you have quoted is a parrallel type, the voltage will be the same across all the components/ resistors in parallel . -- 78 volts. however i wonder if you needed to calcualte the current flow
What is the use of parallel circuit?
It is very beneficial to have a parallel circuit... for example: 1. If one light in a parallel circuit goes out, the other light bulbs will remain lit Whereas if a light in a series circuit goes out, all bulbs will go out 2. If not all light bulbs are needed on, you can turn them off with the remaining light bulbs staying on
What are the common issues that can arise with an electrical fuse panel and how can they be resolved effectively?
Common issues that can arise with an electrical fuse panel include blown fuses, tripped circuit breakers, and loose connections. These issues can be resolved effectively by replacing blown fuses, resetting tripped circuit breakers, and tightening any loose connections. It is important to follow proper safety procedures and consult a qualified electrician if needed.
A circuit that has only one path for the current is called?
A circuit that has only one path for the current is called a series circuit. In a series circuit, the components are connected end-to-end, creating a single pathway for the flow of electricity. This means that the current passing through each component is the same, making series circuits useful for applications where a consistent current is needed.
Do tankless water heaters cost more than normal water heaters?
Yes, the tankless water heaters do cost more than the normal water heaters because tankless water heaters are designed to supply hot water only when needed unlike normal ones.
Are there any low energy water heaters?
Tankless water heaters are low energy because they only run when the hot water is needed.
