Installing a programmable thermostat for electric baseboard heaters.

KMS Woodworks on Feb 21, 2012All 240 volt systems will be on a "double" breaker...it is the TOTAL voltage differential. 240 s use a hot / hot type configuration as apposed to a normal 120 that use a hot / neutral config. The critical issue is to pair the right breaker "rating" with the appliance...and unsure the wiring is up to snuff. My big project yesterday was upgrading the wiring for a 240 volt steam shower. This was modified recently and some 12 ga wire was used...this was set up with a 15 a /240 breaker. This steam generator requires 10 ga with a 30 a breaker. You will need to check the power rating of the thremo...and see it it matches the combined loads of the heaters...normal limits for 12 ga are only 20a.Helpful Reply
