My unit keeps kicking off everytime i turn hot water on. What size breaker is needed for n160?

The Titan N-120 is supposed to be a dual-pole 60 amp breaker, but mine is hooked to a dual-pole 50 amp and it works fine. You have an N-160 which recommends 4 or 6 gauge wire and a dual-pole 70 amp breaker. What size are you trying to use?

I have the n120 and it requires a 60 amp 220vac 2 pole breaker, not sure what the n160 needs but I bet it's higher.

I installed it at the furthest point from the water heater. Hot water will only go as far as where it is installed and that way all the outlets are somewhat covered with just one unit. My wife is always telling me " Go hit the button ".

The National Electrical Code requires wiring and overcurrent protection to be sized at 125% of the load for electric water heaters. A 60 amp breaker is the same price as a 40 or 50. It is the wire that costs more. #6 wire is required for a 60 amp circuit. If you undersize the wire it could overheat and catch fire. Protect your family and follow the manufacturers sizing for this, or any other, electrical device. Your families lives are worth the extra money. �

Right away, should not have to take breaker out. If it does not reset you have a short somewhere. (Heater) ???

All water heaters have the same size hex and same size thread. You will probably need a nut driver impact wrench to break it loose. I bought one just for that occasion. A 4 foot breaker bar was not enough. Good luck

I have no idea; my model turns on with the push of a button and stays on for the length that I want to use it (the fill water level).

I am a hvac tech, it should just resume normal operation. I would check your breakers if it's not coming on more than likely you have an issue elsewhere.

The only way one of us is going to be able to provide a definitive answer is if we open up the device, and check the breaker. It should be labeled with a part number which can be googled. OR you could post your question to their Twitter person, https://twitter.com/furmansound who is much less likely to ignore the question than whoever is supposed to answer their website's Contact form.I'm pretty confident that the breaker would NOT be greater than 15A, because this is intended to go into a standard 15A outlet. Some other folks here note it handles at least 1600watts (13.3A), meaning it won't kick in when you don't want it to. Anything 20A would be specially labeled.

As far as I'm aware you need to know if you want a 15 or 20amp outlet. My understanding is 15 amp is more common. Check that the unit is not close to a sink or any other water source as then you would need a different type of outlet. Otherwise I followed instructions from a YouTube video and found it very straight forward.

Hi there...my keurig machine is 3.5 years old and has never ever tripped the breaker in my kitchen. Until today...tried plugging it in 3 or 4 times...different outlets....unplugged everything in the kitchen. I'm pretty sure mine has a short so since it has NEVER tripped the gfci before today I'm just going to put it in the bin.

I have a couple of questions. First - have you talked with your electrician about this? Next, I don't understand your description of the problem. If the breaker trips when the thermostat kicks on, how does it get power to go up to 76? One issue with these thermostats is that they are designed to work on electric baseboard heat (resistive load). If the load is inductive (say a heater with a blower motor) they don't work. Finally, you may simply have a defective unit. Do the other 4 work properly?

You would need a multimeter to test it. You can also try it with a different board if you have one. It can also be the power brick, you need a good quality brick. I received doa pico150 and returned it for a 160 that works.

My unit ran periodically & I replaced the switch that you depress to activate the unit .That didn't work, so I replaced the entire assembly & got a new FRC 4016. It works great now. Jp

Use a 1/2" npt union or better yet, get the valve kit so you can flush out the unit once in a while. Make sure you put a T&P; valve on the outlet side for safety. it will be part of the valve kit if you purchase it.

I had to run off of a circuit with a 20amp breaker since running off of a 15amp circuit repeatedly tripped the breaker. No problems with the 20amp breaker.

That's going to be directly related to the load your device is going to pull. make sure that you have enough capacity at the breaker and the GF I outlet

Yes it will. The individual circuits allow you to adjust which circuits you are using that would max out the input. I have mine set up so that it will only heat water if I turn off a few circuits that would run normal stuff while I turn on the water heater. Once I have hot water I shut down that circuit and light up my normal circuits again.
