On an 50A circuit should you be able to turn all of three of your electric heaters on at the same time without tripping the main breaker?
Check the amp rating of the heater and do the math. Electric heaters pull A LOT of current, so I'm guessing you'd be near the 50amp max.
How much do infra red heaters increase the electric bill?
Cost of operating electric portable heatersYou need to know three things: Wattage of heatersOperating hours per monthCost of electricityExample:If you have a 1000 watt heater that operates 1 hour a month and costs $1.00 per kilowatt for electricity, then it will cost $1.00 to operate the heater for the month. more simply put - from my own experience a helluva lot!!A little more explanationYou pay for electricity by the kilowatt-hour. The rate is on your bill. If you draw 1000 watts for one hour, your bill goes up by that rate. To calculate the amount you will pay (And this works for any load, not just heaters):Find the power draw in watts of the heater.Multiply that by the number of hours you plan to run itDivide the answer by 1000 to convert from watt-hours to kilowatt-hoursMultiply the answer by your electric rate.The answer is how much it will cost to run.More from DavePortable electric heaters are perfect for heating smaller areas, rooms or garages. There are basically four types: quartz, infrared, ceramic and wire element. Infrared heaters have no fan thus no moving parts where the other three have fans to force air past their heating elements. These require no venting and can be used in enclosed areas. They are 100 percent efficient, that is , they output 100 percent of the energy that is input. Unlike vented gas heaters which exhaust a certain percentage of hot gas (energy) outdoors. They are relatively inexpensive to operate. Below is some information on how to calculate the cost to operate an electric heater:First, you 'll need the Kilowatt Per Hour rate from your electric bill. This can be found by adding the energy cost and the distribution cost. For example last month mine was .093503/kwh.Multiply the Watts of the heater (usually found on the back of the unit) by the Kilowatt per hour cost divided by one thousand. Below is an example for a 1500 Watt heater:1500 W x .093503 KWH / 1000 = $0.14This heater would cost about 14 cents per hour to operate or $3.37 a day. That is, if it runs continuously. Most heaters have thermostats and will cycle on and off thus reducing the total cost.
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.
How many kw to run electric heat?
Portable electric heaters are perfect for heating smaller areas, rooms or garages. There are basically four types: quartz, infra-red, ceramic and wire element. Infra-red heaters have no fan thus no moving parts where the other three have fans to force air past their heating elements. These require no venting and can be used in enclosed areas. They are 100 percent efficient, that is , they output 100 percent of the energy that is input. Unlike vented gas heaters which exhaust a certain percentage of hot gas (energy) outdoors.
