How do you connect 3 wire to 2 wire 240volt's I'm trying to remove the washerdryer outlet and branch four 240v receptacles from the 240volt 3 wire outlet?
just leave the neutral wire as it is and connect the other two !!
Which terminal does the white wire hook to L1 or L2 on a dayton 5k534 elec motor?
if it is a 240volt motor it does not matter,
Can I you use existing 8 3 wire hooked to a 30amp breaker was hooked to old electric heater to wire a heater that requires 10 2 wire its a 5000watt 240volt heater?
Yes the wire size is larger for that size breaker but will not effect the 30 amp breaker protection of that circuit.
Why tungsten metal wire is not used in heater?
A heater does not get hot enough to benefit from the expense of using tungsten wire. Most heaters use either wire made of an alloy called nichrome or plated ceramic heating elements. Heaters generally operate at red or orange heat (i.e. 1409F to 1908F) and can use nichrome wire. Lightbulbs operate at white heat (i.e. greater than 2309F) and use tungsten wire, but tungsten is hard and expensive to make into wire compared to softer metals.
What would be the result of three defrost heaters each 12.5 ohms wired in series to a 115 volt power supply if the heaters were to supply a 360 watt heating load?
But why do you want to connect them in series since this will under feed the heaters? I recommend that you connect them in parallel across the supply so that they each have 115v and thus provide good heating effect.

Items that use low resistance wire?
Ni chrome is a low resistance wire used in heaters and toasters.
Have 240v 30amp breaker need to connect a 240volt 40 amp cooktop can you do this I have a 103 600volt wire the cooktop power supply requires 240volt 4 wire 60 hz?
Yes you can. As long as you don't use 40 amps. The 30 amp breaker may kick off if you use all things at once. So you are well protected but not up to code. The 4th wire required for the new stove is probably a ground fault wire. So run a new cable or cook slower.

What are the best environemntally fiendly gas water heaters?
Rheem provide a series of high efficiency gas water heaters. Several different companies also provide tank-less water heaters, which are very efficient, as well as solar water heaters.
Are electric heaters connected in series or parallel?
Some are series, some parallel, some both. Depends on the design. Series heaters will have all the heaters fail or shut off should one burn out or open circuit. Should a series heater short out the other heaters will see increased voltage so must be able to handle full voltage or they will overheat and fail. Parallel heaters will not notice if one of the others open circuit. If protection devices, such as fuses or overloads or overtemp, are installed for each heater all others will continue to operate if one shorts out or fails. Parallel heater designs are more common.
Are kerosine heaters safe for indoor use?
Yes, kerosene heaters are safe for indoor use, such as the Mr. Heater F215100 Portable Buddy Series, which is certified for indoor operation.
How do you wire in a lowvoltage thermostat control to a baseboard heater?
Most baseboard heaters use hi voltage thermostats.
What element heats elements in toasters?
It is nearly always Nichrome wire. The same is used for space heaters, etc.
