Do you need a neutral when running a BLK Red and ground from a panel directly to a 240V 4800W 20A heater outlet?
No. The black is 220, the red is 220, and the ground serves as the neutral.
the last answer "no" is correct but the reason is not. the ground is still a ground. the red is 110v and the black is 110v. together they are 220v. the neutral or (common) is for a 110v return. for example a stove or a dryer will have 2 hots a common and a ground because they use 220v and 110v. 220v to power the heating elements and 110 for the controls, light bulbs or the outlet on a stove. A construction heater only uses 220v and only requires the two hots and the ground for safety.
What else can I help you with?
Does the ground wire from a 240 volt tankless water heater connect to the common wire?
Any ground wire has to be connected to an independent ground wire that returns directly to the distribution panel and not to the neutral of the circuit.
How do you tap into a 220v feed going to baseboard heater and get a 110v supply?
This is only valid in parts of the work using 110/220 Volt split phase power system. There will be 110V from each of the hot leads to ground/neutral, so connect your outlet to only one of the hot leads, the neutral lead and the earth ground lead. This may be a problem with a dedicated 220V circuit as there will likely be no neutral line. Another note - this could well cause an unbalanced electrical load across the two pole breaker. If the breaker has a rating of 20A and the 110V circuit draws much of that current, the heater will likely trip the breaker.
In an electric spa heater 240 volt L1 is a hot L2 is a hot the ground wire connector is clearly marked but there is a blue wire in the heat with a tag marked N. Would that be the neutral or in some ca?
In a typical electric spa heater setup, L1 and L2 are the two hot wires for a 240-volt system, and the ground wire provides safety. The blue wire marked "N" is likely intended as a neutral wire, but in a 240-volt system, a neutral is not always used; it may instead be a designation for a different function depending on the specific wiring configuration. It’s important to consult the manufacturer’s documentation or a qualified electrician to confirm the purpose of the blue wire in your specific setup.
Are there 3 wires on a 230 volt water heater circuit?
Answer for UK, Europe and countries running a 50 Hz supply service.Yes. Live, Neutral and Earth wireAnswer for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hz supply service.In North America there are only two wires that are used as current carrying conductors. These are connected to a 20 amp two pole breaker with #12 copper wire. This is classed as a two wire cable as the ground wire, not being a current carying conductor, is not counted in the wire count. This is because all cables for home building in North America have ground wires. The only exception to this is in flexable cord sets (cabtire) where the ground wire has to be counted when ordering a cable.
How do you change a heater from 120 volts 3a to 240 volts 1.5 a?
the simplest solution is by connecting two 120v 3amps heater in series , the same can be used directly on 240v. However the current drawn will still be 3 amps & Not 1.5 amps. The heater output power will be double that of a single heater running on 120v. ( or equvalent to two heaters operating on 120v. supply ) A more expensive method is to use a stepdown transformer which can be powered on 240v & connect the heater on the transformer 120v side. this method will consume approx. 1.5 amps from the 240v supply.
Does the ground wire from a 240 volt tankless water heater connect to the common wire?
Any ground wire has to be connected to an independent ground wire that returns directly to the distribution panel and not to the neutral of the circuit.
On a 1991 Ford Aerostar with Dual Heat why would you have water running on the ground on the passenger side?
This is an indication that your heater core is leaking. To stop the leaking you will have to replace the heater core or stop using your heater.
Do you need a neutral to install 480 volts 3 phase heater?
If the heater is rated as a 3 phase 480 volt heater then a neutral is not needed. If the voltage stated is 277 volts three phase then a neutral is needed.
Do you need ground to run a 240 vac water heater?
No, not really. The two hot legs can be opposite legs of a 120/240 V split phase power source. You still do need a protective earth ground, however, but the heater itself does not require a grounded neutral to run.
Does a water heater require a ground wire?
does a water heater require a ground wire?
Will car make noise when running if heater core is burned out?
Car will make when running even if heater core is not burned out.
94 Jeep GC blower runs then quits. Conected directly to battery blower runs fine. When it quits there is 12V on red to battery ground directly but no volts to black. Black to ground open. Why?
Problem solved: Bought a used heater control, installed it in minutes, and all is well.
Is a fast blowing fan heater going to warm room up better than slow running fan heater if both heaters are same watts?

How do you 'open' and in-ground pool with water heater?
You do not have to turn the heater on until you are ready to heat the water, some installers put a tee or bypass before the heater so the water does not go thru the heater many do not since the heater is on the clean side of the filter, some people just want a bypass valve their in case the heater fails they can keep the water flowing around the heater, Take the cover off, start the filter up, start vacuumimg, when ready add your chemicals. continue running the filter get your water tested, when you feel you are about ready too swim turn the heater on too warm the water if you desire to.
Is there an in floor heater for an above ground pool?
no
Can new 10-2 with ground be used for a 240V water heater if it doesn't have a hook up for the neutral and just uses the ground wire?
Yes it can be done that way. Just make sure to use a double-pole breaker to ensure each wire is on an opposite phase.
How do you get on the bed when the heater is all the way down in shrink ray island?
You have to turn the heater on, by running to the right on it.
