Can you use a none dedicated outlet for a space heater for a short period of time?
Yes, a space heater can be plugged into any outlet. Depending on what else is drawing current on the circuit will govern whether the circuit will trip or not. If the heater is plugged in and the circuit does not trip it can be left plugged as long as it is needed. If the heater trips after a few seconds, then try another outlet.
Suppose that you turn on the heater in your room and all of the lights in your room go out Propose a reason why the lights went out?
One reason could be that the heater was wired into the lighting circuit so that when the heater is turned on its high current draw causes the circuit breaker to "trip" to shut off the current.A lighting circuit is intended to be used only for lights.Further answer for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hz supply service.A small electric heater - under 2 kilowatts in power - should only ever be connected into a branch circuit feeding power outlets, providing you have checked that the circuit's existing circuit breaker and cable size are of the appropriate ampacity to be able to take the extra current draw safely.If it is over 2 kilowatts in power it should be connected into its own dedicated circuit using:correct type of circuit breaker unit of the appropriate ampacitycorrectly sized cable and eithercorrect type and size fixed outlet (non-pluggable) orcorrect type and size socket outlet taking an appropriate plug.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.IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOBSAFELY AND COMPETENTLYREFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS.
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.

Why does the fuse box in my house make a clicking noise when the heater clicks on?
The clicking noise you are hearing could be the heater is overloading the breaker and it is on the verge of tripping This could be caused by the heater being to large for the circuit. Check the amperage rating on the heater and the rating on the breaker It also cold be the circuit breaker is going bad and needs to be replaced by a qualified electrician These are 2 possible answers you also could have a bad (loose) electrical connection some where in the circuit
How do you get to the bulb for lighting your heater controls?

What voltage does and electric water heater use?
A standard domestic water heater in a house, apartment, etc will need 220 Volts AC. They have two heating elements upper and lower and each is 110 VAC hence the 220 Volt supply. Make sure it has a dedicated circuit and a disconnect on the wall above and beside water heater.
