What wire and circuit breaker used?

Mr. Connor's previous answer is correct. The Broan 194 heater is rated at 3000 watts at 240 volts. The heater can be reconfigured for 1500 watts but still needs 240 volts. Not much point in making that change. So......the correct circuit for this heater is a dedicated, 20 amp, 240 volt circuit. That requires a 2 pole circuit breaker and 12 AWG wire, 2 conductor, plus a 12 AWG grounding conductor. Romex (non-metallic sheathed cable), if used would be 12-2G and typically has a yellow sheathing. Circuit breaker would be selected based on the manufacturer of the distribution panel already in place in the building. Ed, Green Valley, AZ Mr. Connor's previous answer is correct.

already had a 220 v. A/C recepticle in place that was rated at 20 Amp . it appears to have 12 ga. romex from what i can see. not sure if this helps.

If I recall correctly, it was 22 or 24 guage wire that had to be stripped and connected to the power source. I used solder and heat shrink.

No, I would not recommend this, unless you have an electrician check out the circuit breaker and wire size.

Use 2 conductor #8 plus Ground. Make sure heater is under 50 ft from the circuit breaker

My electrician used 12 awg and a 20 amp breaker ...by the way this is a great machine I love it...

According to the diagram on the switch cover on the timer I connected it is wired as N. Burnett says, white wire from your main breaker box to A and the black wire from the same box to #1. The load, what you want to switch, is connected as the diagram shows.

It is stranded wire. Anytime you are dealing with dc power you need to use stranded wire.

You will use the same wire for the whole Job 10-2 Gauge Wire..... 10 -2 AWG Wire From The Circuit Breaker Panel to the Thermostat, and 10-2 AWG Wire from the line voltage Thermostat to the Electric Unit Heater

15 amp should be used with 14 gage wire and a 15 amp breaker. 20 amp should be used with 12 gage wire and a 20 amp breaker. I would guess you have 15 amp but not sure without seeing it.

90 to 240 v or 115/120v house single circuit breaker house set up or 230/240 double house line( like your stove or dryer, and for a commercial building that rune 3 phase power - they can use their 208v line. see other questions for colored wire set up some are 3 wire and others 4 wire all are easy to wire in.

It's wire, use it for whatever you need. there's no set purpose, power, signals, what have you. just need the appropriate connectors and pins to make the connection.

30 amp 220 volt breaker and 30 amp wiring only! Using a smaller breaker and wire is a fire hazard because breakers don't always trip when overloaded! If the 20 amp breaker fails to trip then the wire will heat up like a burner on an electric stove and will catch on fire.

Just so that I understand, this runs on both LP and 110ACV? How hard is it to run the wiring to a circuit breaker?

I am using a standard outlet, however, there is nothing else plugged into or using power on that specific breaker. If you're unsure about your wiring, you should really ask an electrician.

I can't recall. I just used bare wire and tighten the screws on that--works great!

Turn the circuit breaker off then double check your wiring. You should have 4 wires, a white & a black which is line in, and another set of white and black wires which is line out or load. If it looks okay check your settings., the cut-in should be set at about 30 lbs and the cut out should be about 60 lbs. If all that is okay you may have a defective control. Make sure you turn the circuit breaker on after you finish checking the above. If you can't tell which is line-in you may need a voltage meter to check it. Good luck.

You have two circuits (2@ 12o Volt AC) so you need to use two breakers to protect both circuits. The idea is to discharge any excess voltage to ground as soon as it reaches the house. The breakers will have to be reset if you get a large surge.
