for a large one it is 4,000 watts and for a smaller one it is 1,000 watts
The amperage of an electric heater depends on its power rating in watts and the voltage it operates on. To determine the amperage, divide the wattage by the voltage (Amperes = Watts / Volts). For example, a 1500 watt electric heater running on 120 volts would use 12.5 amperes (1500 watts / 120 volts = 12.5 A).
Edenpure heaters produce 1500 watts. It is an electric heater, which uses quartz heating element to generate heat.
To calculate the amperage for a 240-volt, 1500-watt electric baseboard heater, you can use the formula: Amps = Watts / Volts. For this heater, it would be 1500 watts / 240 volts, which equals 6.25 amps. Therefore, the heater uses approximately 6.25 amps.
A 5kw heater draws just that, 5kw or 5000 w. If you have that switched on high, well I do not know what your supplier charges per kw hour, I am glad its not me paying.
A 30-gallon electric water heater typically has a power rating of around 4500 watts. To determine the amperage, you can use the formula: amperage (A) = watts (W) / volts (V). Assuming a standard voltage of 240 volts, this would mean the heater pulls about 18.75 amps (4500 W / 240 V). However, actual amperage may vary based on the specific model and its energy efficiency.
An immersion heater typically uses around 1500-2000 watts of power when heating water. The exact wattage can vary depending on the size and type of the immersion heater.
To determine how many solar panels are needed to run an 80-gallon water heater, you first need to know the wattage of the heater. An average electric water heater uses about 4,500 watts. Assuming you get around 300 watts per solar panel and about 4-5 hours of effective sunlight per day, you would need approximately 4-5 solar panels to effectively run the water heater, depending on your location and energy efficiency. Always consult with a solar energy professional for a precise assessment tailored to your specific situation.
An electric water heater in a hot tank is called an immersion heater and many of those run at 3 kW with a thermostat to control the max temperature. Power showers use a type of water heater that heats the water at the point where it is used, without a tank. They run at 6-8 kW and are also controlled by a thermostat.
1300/1500 watts
Do you mean how many watts are used to make hot water? It varies, but a typical home electric hot water heater consumes about 4,500 watts. Industrial hot water heaters might use 20,000 watts or more! I have a little warmer that keeps my coffee warm as I type this, it consumes about 300 watts. Of course it only heats 6 ounces of water....
Different 240 volt watt water heaters use different amounts of watts! Look at your water heater. It should have a plate that lists the watts! On the other hand, the water heater only uses watts when it is heating water. If the family uses paper plates and takes brief showers by getting wet, turning off the shower, applying soap, and then rinsing, it will use a lot less electricity than if every member of the family runs out the tank of hot water taking a hot shower every day.
The GE water heater SE50M12AA01 is a 5500 watts or 5.5 Kilowatts water tank. The amperage on such a tank is I = W/E. Amps = Watts/Volts. Since most hot water tanks in North America use a voltage of 240, the amps will be 22.9 amps. It must be fed with a #10 conductor from a 30 amp breaker.
