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.
What is Low current electrical systems?
This refers to the electric current in amps. There is no definition of what constitutes a low current, but in electronics it might refer to less than 1 mA, while in domestic power supply it might mean less than 5 amps.
What are the features of an efficient electric heater?
The main feature of an efficient electric heater is, that is used up to 30% less engery than a conventional electric heater. This reduces the cost of the heater.
Can a 20 amp wall oven be wired to an existing 40 amp wire?
Yes anything that needs less than 40 amps is OK but the total current must not exceed 40 amps.
How many amps are generated by a 1500 watt heater at 208 volts?
You have to be careful here. A heater will be advertised as "X" watts, but that is only true if you connect it to the voltage source it is supposed to be connected to. If you plug it into a higher or lower voltage source than intended, it will produce a different number of watts.Electric heaters are just resistors. When you run electricity through them, they get hot. If you run more electricity through that resistor, it will produce more heat. If you run less electricity through it, it will produce less heat.As an example, you can find "1500W/120V" water heater elements at the hardware store. This means that if you plug it into a 120V source, it will produce 1500W of heat, and it will pull 1500W/120V = 12.5A of current.You can calculate the resistance of the heater by taking voltage times voltage divided by watts, so this "1500W/120V" heater is really just a resistor of this many Ohms:120V * 120V / 1500W = 9.6 OhmThat Ohm value is physical property of the device. It will not change. If you were to take this heater now and plug it into a 240V supply, you can calculate the amps with voltage divided by resistance:240V / 9.6 Ohm = 25 AmpsAnd, for watts, you can take voltage times voltage divided by ohms:240V * 240V / 9.6 Ohm = 6000WSorry for the long text, but it's crucial that you understand this.If your heater is 1500W and is INTENDED to be running on 240V, you have a 38.4 Ohm resistor. Running that resistor at the lower 208V will produce only 1126W of heat and will pull just 5.4 Amps of current.However, if your heater is 1500W and is indented to be running on 120V, then you have a 9.6 Ohm resistor. You will almost certainly start a fire if you plug it into a 208V supply, because you will be pulling close to 22 Amps and producing 4500W of heat.
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 do you size wire for a 20kw aug heater for a heat pump?
Using the formula: Amps = Watts/Volts look up the wire size needed in the national electric code book for the amperage of the device. This formula only works for single phase current. If you are using 3 phase, look in the book. In general, 15 Amps or less: 14 Ga Copper wire. 20 Amps or less 12 Ga. 30 Amps or less 10 Ga. Anything more than 30 amps, look it up in the book.
Is there any other way to change heater on 2002 Chevy blazer other than pulling whole dash?
no
Pulling a suit case is very tough than pulling a suit case with wheels Why?
because rolling friction is less than static friction.
How many amps will a kW Generator produce?
Typically 75 amps on natural gas, 85 amps using propane. Peak amps(for less than a second) to start a big appliance, like an A/C condenser, are 130.

How can you get 4 hp at 110 volts?
Here are some basic calculations for you:1 watt = 0.00134102209 hpTherefore if you divide 4 hp by 0.00134102209 you get 2982.80 wattsWatts = amps times volts, so:2982.80 watts/110volts= 27.12 ampsThis is more than than regular household services in North America which are usually less than 20 amps per outlet but the service into the house is usually more than 100 amps (at least 60 amps in heritage homes) so if you had the right wiring, breaker, etc. You can pull 4 hp from 110 (but it is easier to do with 220 because it would be less than 15 amps)
What is the ampere capacity of 16 square mm cable?
64 amps in less than 100 meter long
Why does the heater blower switch get hot?
As heater motors age, they tend to draw more amps than they should. Yours is probably drawing too much amperage causing the switch to heat up. Remedy is to replace the heater motor and possibly the switch as the terminals get hot and oxidize.
Why would a 200 amp panel be reading 170 amps on each leg?
Depends upon what you're "reading", but that would certainly be a slightly higher than normal reading on each leg, as long as it is LESS than 200 amps!You would generally want no more than 160 amps, which is 80 percent of max.
