How is an electric heater hot water heater turned on?

There is a thermostat inside an accessible panel on the hot water heater. The panel is typically secured by two screws. When the temperature goes below the set level the heater turns on.

Why do we got electric shock during consumption of water in electric heater?

When you switch on the electric heater, electricity passes through the water in the bucket for warming.If any one comes in contact with the water when the switch is on, he/she is supposed to get electric shock. Nonsense! There are electric heater resistance elements in the water. No electricity is intentionally introduced to the water, if there were the water would be electrified throughout the piping network all the way back to the source including every house connected to the system. Before it ever got that far out of hand the circuit breaker would trip due to the direct short circuit eliminating the hazard. It sounds more like you have an element starting to fail and/or a grounding issue.[


Adding a 240 volt 20amp electric heater in my crawl space Would like to use my 20 amp circuit for outside condenser Both would never be on at the same time Do they make a switch for this?

Yes, what you are looking for is a double pole double throw switch. The center lugs are connected to the incoming line. Then the top lugs could be connected to the electric heater and the bottom lugs connected to the condenser. The trouble lies in finding a switch with a rating of 20 amps. These types of switches are usually used with a stand-by generator and rated at 100A and greater. Think I remember seeing one at 60A once. You might want to think of using a DPDT relay rated at 30A with a 120 volt coil. With a switch to operate it the relay. Depends in what part of the country you live, long winters switch off for heater, long summers switch off for conderser.
