You will need a relay with a low-voltage coil and 220v contacts rated for the current load of the baseboard heater. If you have a low-voltage transformer, see what its output is rated at (typically 24 volts or less). Then go to an electronics parts store or call some place like Digikey (phone 800-344-4539) and tell them you need (for example) a double-pole single-throw normally-open relay with a 24 volt coil and contacts rated at 30 amps at 240 volts (change these numbers to match your situation). If you do not already have a low-voltage transformer the parts store call sell you one to match the relay coil voltage (be sure to specify if you are connecting the transformer input to 120 volts or 240 volts). Then wire it up as follows: connect the transformer output (24 volts in the example above) in series with the thermostat contacts and the relay coil. Connect the 240 volt supply to the moving arms on the relay, and connect the contacts the arms touch when the relay operates to your heater. Now when the temperature drops below its setting the thermostat contacts will close and connect the relay coil to the 24 volts, the relay will operate, and the 240 volts will be connected to the heater. When the temperature rises above the thermostat's setting, its contacts open, the relay contacts open, and the heater is disconnected. Depending on where you live there may also need to be circuit breakers, protective ground wires, etc.--ask an electrician.

Can a 2-pole circuit breaker be used for 110V 220V or 440V?
All three, on 110V a split receptacle, on 220V a baseboard heater, on 440V a construction heater or similar resistive load.
Can you run a 110v heater on 220v circuit?
No.It'll overload and fail just about immediately.It's possible - but not recommended - to run two 110 v heaters in series from a 220v circuit.
What happens to the output in terms of real power of a generator when you change the voltage and frequency say from 220v 50Hz to 110v 60Hz?
The voltage and frequency ARE the output of the generator. If you change the fuel to the generator, it will change speed, and the voltage will change. Less fuel = less speed = lower frequency = lower voltage.
How can you produce 220V electricity?
To produce 220 volts of electricity you would need some form of a generator or alternator with the correct configuration to output 220V. The other ways to produce 220 V: (1) Using a step up transformer if the voltage is lower than 220 V. (2) Using a step down transformer if the voltage is higher than 220 V.
Can you collect one 220 volt phase from a 380 volt three phase plug?
Answer for UK and countries running a 50 Hz supply service.The voltage potential of 380 volts is not common to North America.It will probably be difficult to tap into the plug to get the voltage.If you have a three phase 380 volt supply from a source then you can obtain a single phase voltage of 220 volts from it. 220/380 is a wye voltage connection. 380 divided by 1.73 will give you 220 volts. L1 - N = 220V, L2 - N =220V, L3 - N = 220V. L1 - L2 = 380, L2 - L3=380, L3 - L1 = 380.
What are the features of a 220v baseboard heater with a built-in thermostat?
A 220v baseboard heater with a built-in thermostat typically has the following features: Operates on a 220-volt electrical supply Provides consistent heat output for a room Includes a built-in thermostat for temperature control Can be wall-mounted for easy installation Offers energy-efficient heating options May have safety features such as overheat protection These heaters are commonly used for supplemental heating in homes or buildings.
Can a 2-pole circuit breaker be used for 110V 220V or 440V?
All three, on 110V a split receptacle, on 220V a baseboard heater, on 440V a construction heater or similar resistive load.
What is the voltage in Slovenia?
The voltage is 220V.
If you plug a 1000 w portable heater into a 220v outlet will it burn out?
you must check the voltage and current rating for the heater, the power itself doesnt matter Concur - Some heaters may be rated for the higher voltage which requires less current to run. Watts = Current * Voltage. You risk a fire if you try to run heater above its rated values which should be on a plate on the appliance.
What is The Voltage Of each wire in Straight 220V Circuit?
Voltage is not an absolute figure. Voltage Difference is the exact term. So, the voltage difference between the two wires in the 220 V circuit will be 220V.
Can you hook 220 water heater to 110?
No, you cannot directly hook a 220V water heater to a 110V power source. The different voltage requirements will damage the water heater or cause it to function improperly. It's essential to match the voltage requirement of the appliance with the power source for safe and efficient operation.
What is the voltage in Bahia Brazil?
220V
How is 220v water heater rewired to 110v?
To rewire a 220V water heater to 110V, you would need to change the heating element to one that is compatible with 110V. You would also need to adjust the wiring connections in the water heater to accommodate the lower voltage. It is recommended to consult a qualified electrician to ensure proper and safe rewiring of the water heater.
Will 240v heater work with 220v output?
Yes, a 240v heater will work with a 220v output. The slight difference in voltage should not significantly affect the heater's performance. However, it is always recommended to check the manufacturer's specifications to ensure compatibility.
Can you use a 220v-60hz microwave in Australia?
Yes, using a 220v-60hz microwave in Australia is fine. The voltage of alternating current supplied to homes in Australia is 220v. The frequency of the voltage is 50hz.
What voltage is used in Ireland?
The voltage used in Ireland is 220V AC, at 50Hz.
Can 120V appliance work with 220V?
120V appliance will not work on 220V. Use an instrument transformer or voltage regulator to adjust the high voltage to the desired level.
