That will draw about 9 amps at 120V. A 15 amp breaker if the circuit conductor is #14 or 20 amp breaker if the circuit conductor is #12. <><><>
As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed. Before you do any work yourself,
on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,
always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.

What size breaker for a 1500 watt 120 volt heater?
To calculate the breaker size for a 1500-watt 120-volt heater, use the formula: Breaker size = Power (Watts) / Volts. In this case, 1500 watts / 120 volts = 12.5 amps. Therefore, you would need a 15-amp breaker for a 1500-watt 120-volt heater to allow for a safety margin.
How many amp breaker is needed for 4000 watts at 220 volts?
The equation that you are looking for is I = W/E. Amps = Watts / Volts.
Is 30 amp double pole breaker ok for 4800 watt wall heater?
Yes, a 30 amp double pole breaker would be suitable for a 4800 watt wall heater. Since watts equals volts multiplied by amps, this wall heater on a 240-volt circuit would draw 20 amps (4800 watts/240 volts), which is less than the 30 amp capacity of the breaker.
How many amps needed for a 3000 watt 240 volt base board heater?
A 400 watt heater can safely be used on a 15 amp circuit. The size breaker needed for a circuit is determined by the size of the wiring in that circuit. AWG #14 wire requires a 15 amp breaker. AWG # 12 wire requires a 20 amp breaker.
How many watts to run a oil heater?
The wattage needed to run an oil heater can vary depending on the size and model of the heater. In general, oil heaters typically range from 600 watts to 1500 watts. It's important to check the manufacturer's recommendations for the specific oil heater being used to determine the exact wattage required.
How many amps breaker you need for a 5000 watts immersion heater?
To answer this question the voltage of the immersion heater is needed. I = W/E.

What amp breaker do you need for 1500 watts at 120volts?
To calculate the amperage needed for 1500 watts at 120 volts, use the formula: Amps = Watts / Volts. In this case, it would be 1500 watts / 120 volts = 12.5 amps. Therefore, you would need a 15 amp breaker for this circuit to accommodate the power load safely.
What size breaker needs to be installed for 15000 watt 240 volt heater?
A 15000 watt 240 volt heater would require a 62.5 amp circuit breaker. To accommodate this exact load, you would typically use the next standard breaker size above 62.5 amps, which is a 70 amp breaker to ensure safety and proper operation of the heater.
Should a hot water heater be put on a 30 single or 30 double amp breaker?
What governs the type of breaker is the voltage and wattage of the heater elements. If the tank is 120V then you would only use one breaker. The size of the breaker you use will depend on the watts of the element. Watts = amps x volts, Amps = Watts/ volts. Once you establish the amperage then size the wire and the breaker to fit. If the tank is 240V the same rules apply only you would use a 2 pole breaker. IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOBSAFELY AND COMPETENTLYREFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS. If you do this work yourself, always turn off the power at the breaker box/fuse panel BEFORE you attempt to do any work AND always use a meter or voltage indicatorto insure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.
How do you calculate watts for a 15 Amp breaker?
That's easy. Depending on the amount voltage will determine the amount of wattage, since we know the value of the current. Lets take 120 VAC times 15 Amps = 1800 watts. When my wife and me have the small electric heater running in the bedroom during the morning before and she uses her hair dryer, it blows the breaker. Then I have to run downstairs and reset the breaker. The heater runs at around 9 Amps and the hair dryer draws around 10 Amps. 19 Amps blows the breaker. The more it blows the weaker it gets. Why would one want to know the amount of wattage on a breaker, when mainly were interested in the amonut of current ratings.
If a heater claims to be 1500 watts how long would it take for that heater to draw 1500 watts?
Watts is the amount of power the heater has and amps would be the draw- if it is a 120 volt heater than the amps would be 12.5 amps and it is instantaneous
How many watts can be on a 15amp breaker?
At 120 volts a 15 amp breaker can be loaded to 1800 watts before it will trip. If it is a continuous load then the electrical code states that it is only allowed to be loaded to 80%. This will be 1800 x .8 = 1440 watts. If the voltage is not 120 volts use the following equation Watts = Amps x Volts. Amps being the breaker size that is to be used.
