Current available:
Each 1500 watt heater draws about 8 ampere, while a 3000 watt heater
draws about 16 ampere. A typical residential “trip switch” can accommodate two 1500 watt
heaters or one 3000 watt heater. If you require more than that, you will have to run a separate
supply from the distribution box. Industrial clients must ensure that they have su
ffi
cient
amperes available for larger installations.
To be legally complaint, all installations must be
done by an electrician.
Location:
Always keep the area that you are living in, as well as the positioning of the
installation (e.g. south) in mind. You will have to compensate for this when choosing the
optimal place and angle of installation. You can either install more heaters by moving them
closer together, or use the double element heaters.
