Can you replace a 4500 watt water heater with a 3800 watt water heater?

Yes, but realize that it will take longer to reheat water as it is used. In other words the recovery time will be a bit longer.

30
What would be more efficient a 3800 watt 60 gallon water heater or a 4500 watt 60 gallon water heater?
The efficiency would be about the same. The only difference would be the time factor. The larger the heating element, the quicker the water would get to temperature. One other factor to consider it the insulation factor of the tank. The more insulation around the tank the longer the water will stay at temperature the less energy is used to maintain the temperature of the water in the tank. Also to consider is the incoming temperature of the cold water entering the tank. The colder the water the longer the time factor is to heat the water to a specific temperature.

What ampts on the breaker do you needfor a 4500 watt hot water tank?
Assuming this is standard house voltage of 120 VAC your 4500 Watt heater will draw about 37.5 amps. You would normally install a 50A breaker and would have to run 8 gauge wire.

Will a 5500 watt generator run a electric water heater?
The average size water tank is 4500 watts. The generator's supply will be large enough to operate the water tank. Larger tanks over 5000 watts will not heat correctly.

How is an electric water heater wired?
Hot water tanksAmps = Watts/Voltage. 4500/240 = 18 amps. You would use a #12 copper wire which is rated at 20 amps. On a hot water tank there is only one of the elements on at a time. The incoming cold water is taken to the bottom of the tank through a pipe inside the tank. When the lower thermostat senses the cold water, the lower element turns on. As you draw hot water from the top of the tank the cooler water from the bottom will rise. When the top thermostat senses the cool water it shuts off the bottom element and turns on the top element. When this water is heated to the tank set point it shuts off and the lower element turns on to heat the rest of the water. When the total tank temperature is at the set point all elements turn off. By using this type of procedure there is always hot water at the top of the tank for use.Actually, not all of this first answer is correct! A 4500 watt heater will draw around 18.75 amps. However, electric water heaters are considered "continuous loads". This means you can't load it's circuit more than 80%. So a 4500 watt heater circuit must be "sized up" to either a 25 amp or 30 amp circuit. This means that #10 copper wire will also be used. Now, a 3800 watt heater will draw around 15.8 amps. In this case, a 20 amp breaker and #12 copper wire can be used. Always check the heater's nameplate to be certain of it's ratings. The calculation used is correct.
