I = W/E. Current is equal to Watts divided by Volts. 1500/120 = 13 amps. A #14 is rated at 15 amps. A conductor can only be loaded to 80% for a continuous load so 80% of 15 equals 12 amps. Too small for the 1500 watt load. A #12 conductor is rated at 20 amps times 80% equals 16 amps for a continuous load. To answer your question, no, a #16 conductor will not handle a 1500 watt load.

What is the price range for a 12 volt electric heater?
12 volt electric heaters can range in price from 24.99 to 119.95 depending on how many watts you want. Price can also vary depending on other features you need such as a swing out handle or defrost setting.
Can 400volts heater element get supply from 230 volts?
No, a 400 volt heater element cannot be safely operated on a 230 volt supply. To avoid damaging the element and potential safety hazards, it is important to match the voltage rating of the heater element with the supply voltage.
What size breaker for 120 volt 2500 watt water heater?
For a 2500 watt water heater operating at 120 volts, you would need a 20 amp breaker. This ensures the breaker can handle the load without tripping.
Can you hook up a 110 volt space heater into wiring that is 220 or will it burn out the heater?
No, you should not connect a 110-volt space heater to 220-volt wiring as it will likely cause the heater to burn out due to the higher voltage. You should always match the voltage requirements of the appliance to the electrical supply to prevent damage.
Will 14-2 wire accompdate 2 1500watt baseboard heaters 240 volt?
No, 14-2 wire is not suitable for two 1500-watt baseboard heaters on a 240-volt circuit. Each 1500-watt heater draws approximately 6.25 amps, totaling about 12.5 amps for both. However, 14-gauge wire is rated for a maximum of 15 amps, which is close to the limit and does not provide a safe margin. It is recommended to use 12-gauge wire, which is rated for 20 amps, to ensure safety and compliance with electrical codes.
