Best Answer

An electric heater is a resistor that dissipates electric power when a voltage is connected across it and a current flows through it. The amount of power in watts is equal to the voltage times the current in amps.

Typical space heaters for use in the home are 1.5 kW to 3 kW to heat a single room.

When a single phase supply connect to a electric heater short circuit not there why?

The electric heater is basically a resistor, designed to have the right resistance to draw the required current. So a 2 kW heater designed for a 230 v supply is really a resistor of 28.8 ohms, so when it's connected the current is 8 amps and the power is 2 kW.
