Can you plug a 1500 watt heater in to a regular apartment outlet?
A 1500 Watt heater will pull about 12.5 Amps. Tour circuits in apartment will be 15 A and 20 A. Provided you don't have too much of a load on the same circuit, it should work.
If a 1500W heater tripped the GFCI outlet and took out a few outlets do you need to rewire those outlets if they're still dead?
Did you reset the GFCI? Any outlet attached to the GFCI's load (output) will not work if the GFCI has no power/is inoperable.The water heater could have a neutral-to-ground short, a type of fault which would be not have shown up on a circuit having no GFCI. That would be a good reason to scrap the water heater if it cannot be fixed! Anyway the best advice is to call in an electrician to run a separate circuit for your water heater.Take the water heater off of that circuit! Nothing else should be on that circuit, and call a electrician to run a separate circuit for your water heater!!! 1500watts divided by 120 volts is 12.5 amps.Always be sure to switch off the breakers at the main panel before you attempt to do any work on any mains power circuit.
WHY DOES MY blow heater keep tripping out your electrics?
This could be either a fault with the appliance or you are simply overloading the circuit . You should consult an qualified electrician regarding this and not use this item until tested .
Suppose that you turn on the heater in your room and all of the lights in your room go out Propose a reason why the lights went out?
One reason could be that the heater was wired into the lighting circuit so that when the heater is turned on its high current draw causes the circuit breaker to "trip" to shut off the current.A lighting circuit is intended to be used only for lights.Further answer for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hz supply service.A small electric heater - under 2 kilowatts in power - should only ever be connected into a branch circuit feeding power outlets, providing you have checked that the circuit's existing circuit breaker and cable size are of the appropriate ampacity to be able to take the extra current draw safely.If it is over 2 kilowatts in power it should be connected into its own dedicated circuit using:correct type of circuit breaker unit of the appropriate ampacitycorrectly sized cable and eithercorrect type and size fixed outlet (non-pluggable) orcorrect type and size socket outlet taking an appropriate plug.As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.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-energized.IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOBSAFELY AND COMPETENTLYREFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS.
How do you dead test a lighting circuit?
disconnect the supply cable from cu and join the phase and neutral together then go to ur light switch and provided that he circuit is complete with ur bulbs in do a continuity test on the switch cable live in and switch live out these should beep out if the circuit is comple meaning there will be continuity at the switchh cables
Where should the supply for a 3kW immersion heater originate from?
junction box
Why should the immersion heater be placed at the bottom of the storage tank?
It gets warm but only if the immersion heater is switched on. The warmer water will rise slowly and start circulating in the tank, so you end up with a tank full of hot water.

Can you use an inverter and electric heater in your car?
Provided the heater is of a low wattage it should not affect normal running of the car
Where is the circuit breaker for a hot water heater?
The best way to determine which circuit breaker is for the water heater is with a voltage meter, It is suppose to be only one circuit breaker, but in a faulty application it could be two breakers
What causes an O2 heater circuit malfunction on a IS 300?
The oxygen sensor is "done". It should be replaced.
Why is heater is not keeping house warm?
A heater may not be keeping a house warm because it is too small for the space. An older heater may not be performing as it should. If you are getting no heat from the heater, you may have blown a fuse and should check the circuit breaker box.

Where and what is the heater circuit for oxygen censor 1 in bank 2 on 2002 Chevy s10 4.3 v6 you had the code read and this is what it came back with It is a 2002 s10 crew cab 4wd?
THE HEATER CIRCUIT IS PART OF THE OXYGEN CENSOR TWO OF THE WIRES HEAT THE CENSOR. JUST REPLACE THE CENSORS THAT SHOULD BE EASY.

When do water heaters need to be replaced?
Provided that you don't run into any major problems a hot water heater should last you somewhere between 5 and 10 years. There should be a serial number on the bottom that will tell you how old your heater is. If the heater starts to leak or you can see rust starting to form then it may be time to replace.
