Why does the circuit breaker controlling the electric heaters in the fan coil occasionally trip?
the circuit breaker has low amperes.
Is the an electric heater with auto shut-off?
Yes, all electric heaters are required to have an emergency circuit breaker which shuts the unit down in the event of overheating.
How many electric heaters on 20 amp 240 volt circuit?
You can have a total of 3600 watts. NEC requires you to use only 75% of circuit breaker, therefore on a 20 amp breaker you can use up to 15 amps.
Can electric baseboard heaters be painted?
Yes, electric baseboard heaters can be painted.
Are propane heaters better than electric heaters?
Propane heaters have a better rating than electric heaters. This is due to the lower cost of ownership.
Does electric water heaters have carbon monoxide?
Electric water heaters have not carbon monoxide.
What are the advantages of electric heaters over gas heaters?

What are the negatives of Chromalox Heaters?
Gas heaters are slowly leaving the industry and are being replaced by electric heaters, which are created by Chromalox. However, by using an electric heater, electric bills get expensive.
Two 100 watt heaters are to be connected in paralleto a 115 V source Will a 20 A circuit breaker be able to carry current without tripping Justify answer?
Certainly, 100Watt of power requires only about 1 A at 115V However, if you made a typo and intended to say two 1000 Watt heaters Then I would use a 25A. The 20A breaker would be ok, but will be on the cusp of tripping as the current would be closer to 18A. The typical 14AWG wiring in a house can carry up to 32Amps safely as a result the maximum circuit breaker to use would be 25Amps <<>> In the above answer it is stated that a #14 wire will carry up to 32 amps. This is completely false. A #14 wire is only rated at 15 amps. To carry 32 amps safely you would need to use a #8 wire which is three wire sizes larger that a # 14.
How many feet of electric base board heat will run on a 15amp breaker?
Since baseboard heaters come in many different wattages vs. lengths I guess the best answer would be, you can load up to 2880 watts of baseboard heaters on a 15 amp two pole breaker at 240 volts.
How many 8.5 amp's heaters could be installed on a 50 amp circuit breaker?
Remember that the breaker protects the wire size. You would have to use a #6 wire to operate the heaters. To find out how many heaters that can be connected, divide 50 by 8.5 amps.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-energizedIF YOU ARE NOT REALLY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOBSAFELY AND COMPETENTLYREFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS.
