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.

Watts = Volts x Amps

Amps = Watts/Volts = 2000/240

Amps = 8.3

A 2000 watt heater operating at 240 volts will draw approximately 8.3 amps of current. This can be calculated using the formula: Amps = Watts/Volts.

Using those numbers it should be @ 10.4 amp. Per heater.

Assuming just a resistive load and no blower motor the Power Factor will be one. Therefore, watts = volts x amps. 4500 = 240 x amps. Rearranging we have amps = 4500 / 240 = 18.7

The formula you are looking for is W = E x I. Watts = Volts x Amps.
