The wiring regulations in your country must be followed and if you need to ask it means you should employ an electrician to do the work.

Can I you use existing 8 3 wire hooked to a 30amp breaker was hooked to old electric heater to wire a heater that requires 10 2 wire its a 5000watt 240volt heater?

No, you cannot use an existing 8 3 wire hooked to a 30amp breaker for a heater that requires 10 2 wire. The wire gauge and breaker size need to match the specific requirements of the new heater to ensure safety and proper function. You will need to upgrade the wiring to accommodate the 10 2 wire needed for the 5000-watt 240-volt heater.


What size wire and breaker do you need for a 5000 watt garage heater?

Look on the heater and see what amps it is pulling. That will determine the wire size and breaker size. It must be on a dedicated circuit. 15 amps = AWG # 14 wire with 15 amp breaker 20 amps = AWG # 12 wire with 20 amp breaker 30 amps = AWG # 10 wire with 30 amp breaker 40 amps = AWG # 8 wire with 40 amp breaker


How do you wire 240volt heaters in series?

To wire 240-volt heaters in series, connect the first heater's one wire to the second heater's other wire. Then connect the first heater's remaining wire to one of the hot wires from the power source, and the second heater's remaining wire to the other hot wire from the power source. Make sure both heaters have the same wattage rating for this setup to work effectively.


How do you wire a electric garage heater drawing 5000 watts 240 volts to a30 amps circuit?

There should be two outputs on the 30 A breaker. You will need 10 AWG wire with 3-conductors and ground. Typically the wire colors will be Black, Red, White and (Green or bare). Connect black to one output of breaker and red to other output. Connect white to the white buss bar in main panel and green/bare to ground buss bar. At heater end connect the red and black to the 240 V leads, white to white and green/bare to the heater case.


What size wire should be used to connect a water heater from the panel?

The wire size is dependent upon the wattage size of your water heater. The higher the wattage the larger the wire size. A standard 3000 watt heater will use a two pole 20 amp breaker connected to 2C #12 wire.

Renault traffic blowin fuse when heated rear window is turned on?

You have a short in the wire to the heater or the heater is no good, easy way to check with a ohm meter is to pull wire off heater (at the heater) and do a ohms check from the wire to ground (metal part of car). If it shows 0 or near 0 then you have a shorted wire if it shows open then its the heater that bad!

What size wire should be used for a hot water heater?

The size of wire needed for a hot water heater depends on the heater's wattage and the distance from the electrical panel. It is recommended to consult a professional electrician to determine the appropriate wire size for your specific hot water heater.


Where does the red wire in a baseboard heater connect to the black or white wire in the wall?

In the heater you will have two wires. You should then have 2 supply wires from the panel, and 2 wires from the thermostat. The neutral (white) supply wire should go to one of the wires on the heater. The hot (black) supply wire should connect to one wire from the thermostat. The other wire from the thermostat will connect to the other wire from the heater.
