What size breaker for a 1500 watt 120 volt heater?
15 amp
What size breaker for 120 volt 2500 watt water heater?
20 amp is perfect, 15 is fine
What size breaker should be used for 1500 watt bathroom exhaust fan heater?
20 amp breaker 12 gauge wire assuming its 120 volt
What size breaker needs to be installed for 15000 watt 240 volt heater?
15,000 watts at 240 volts will use 62.5 amps. Therefore you will need to use AWG #3 wire on a 100 amp breaker.
How many watts are in one volt?
There are zero volts in a watt. Watts are the product of amps x volts. Without stating the voltage and amperage, the wattage of a device can not be calculated.

You are putting in a 240 volt 4000 watt heater in a room what size breaker do you need?
20 amp
What size breaker for 120 volt 2500 watt water heater?
20 amp is perfect, 15 is fine
Where did the watt came from?
A watt is the product of amperage times voltage.

Can you run a 3200 watt oven on a 20 amp breaker?
a 220 volt, 3200 watt oven will draw under 15 amps, so yes a 2o amp breaker will work.

There are zero volts in a watt. Watts are the product of amps x volts. Without stating the voltage and amperage, the wattage of a device can not be calculated.
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.
If two heaters of 100W and 110 volt other are 150W and 110 volt connect in series with 220v ac source then what is the total power?
they will accont in parallel 100//150=60 watts <<>> The individual amperage of the 100 watt heater will be A = W/V = 100/110 = .9 amps. Resistance of heater is R = E/I = 110/.9 = 122 ohms. The individual amperage of the 150 watt heater will be A = W/V = 150/110 = 1.36 amps. Resistance of heater is R = E/I = 110/1.36 = 80.8 ohms. Resistances in series circuits are additive. R1 +R2 = 122 + 80.8 = 202.8 ohms. W = E sqd/R = 220 x 220 = 48400/202.8 = 238 watts. The 100 watt heater will operate hotter than its nameplate rating and the 150 watt heater will run cooler that its nameplate rating.
What size breaker and wire for 2000 watt heater?
A 2000 watt heater draws 8.3 amps on a 240 v supply, so the cutout should be set to 10 or 12 amps. <<>> In North America a 2000 watt baseboard heater will be fed with a two pole 15 amp breaker. A two wire cable of #14 copper will be used to connect the supply voltage to the heater.
Can you run a 2 kw convector heater through a 25 amp trip switch at 240 volts?
Yes, the total amperage load of a 2000 watt heater at 240 volts is 8.3 amps. Keep in mind that the wire feeding the heater must be a #10 because the breaker is rated at 25 amps. A wire's ampacity rating can be larger that the breaker amperage rating but never smaller. Example, a #14 rated at 15 amps or a #12 rated at 20 amps can not be connected to a 25 amp breaker. The 25 amp breaker does not trip until it reaches 25 amps well over the allowable amperage of the #14 amd #12 wire. This is why a #10 wire must be used as its rating is 30 amps.
