Are electric baseboard heaters efficient?
Amps and Watts measure different things. An Amp is a measure of electrical current and a Watt is a measure of Power. Which ever device draws the higher amperage will be the one that uses more electricity! Hence the 240 watt heater draw less amps even though it uses more watts: Volts Watts/Electical Current Amps/Power example heater 240 volt draws 2000/1000 watts - but uses 8.3/4.2 amps example heater 120 volt draws 1500/750 watts - but uses 12.5/6.3 amps
What size breakers are needed for two 500 watt baseboards?
Each baseboard heater will draw a little over 4 amps at 120 volts or 2 Amps at 240 volts. The total number of baseboards on a circuit will draw the sum of these amps. Keep the load under 80% of the amperage rating of the breaker.
Would static electricity be the cause of a ceiling light continuing to blow a fuse?
No. There is an excessive current draw, possibly in the form of a short circuit. Get an electrician to check it and fix it before you set fire to house.
Can you run a 110v heater on 220v circuit?
No.It'll overload and fail just about immediately.It's possible - but not recommended - to run two 110 v heaters in series from a 220v circuit.
Draw the diagram?
There are many places where you could learn to draw a diagram. The internet is a great resource for example.
Are baseboard heaters very reliable and where can I buy them at?
Baseboard heaters are an excellent way to heat your home. There are two main types, water radiator and electric radiator. Both types draw in cool air from the floor, heat it, and then force it up the walls. This creates circulation in the room and allows an even heat. They can be purchased from local home centers like Lowe's or Home Depot.
How do you connect a water heater to a power inverter?
the trick is to find an inverter large enough to handle the load of a hot water heater, things such as water heaters, air condition units draw lots of electricity
Is your baseboard heater using power when a single-pole thermostat is set to low?
Yes, baseboard heaters typically use power whenever they are connected to a power source, regardless of the setting on the thermostat. Here’s how it works: Thermostat Operation: A single-pole thermostat for a baseboard heater controls the flow of electricity to the heater element. When you set the thermostat to a low temperature, it doesn't mean the heater is off completely; rather, it reduces the amount of electricity flowing through the heating element. Power Consumption: Even when set to a low temperature, the baseboard heater still consumes some electricity because it maintains a minimum temperature to ensure the room doesn't get too cold. The exact amount of power consumed depends on the wattage of the heater and the setting of the thermostat. Heat Output: When the thermostat is set low, the baseboard heater will produce less heat output. It will cycle on and off to maintain the set temperature, using less power during periods when the room is closer to the desired temperature. Idle Power Consumption: Some baseboard heaters have a small amount of power consumption even when the thermostat is off, due to internal electronics or pilot lights. However, this is typically minimal compared to the power used when the heater is actively heating. In summary, while the baseboard heater may not be running at full capacity when the thermostat is set to low, it still consumes electricity to maintain the temperature setting and respond to changes in room temperature. Therefore, it's always using some amount of power as long as it's connected to a power source.
Why does a toaster draw a lot of current?
all electric heaters draw a lot of current (voltage times current = watts [or power]) and a toaster heats bread (no it toasts Bread)
How do you draw a model of electricity for a torch?
Carrot cake
Why do we use thicker wires for heaters than for lamps?
Heaters draw a lot more amperage. As your amperage increases, so does resistance to the flow of the current. Too much resistance, and your wire overheats, melts the casing, and can potentially catch fire.

How do you make electricity in pocket god?
make a storm then draw a line from it on the a guy.
Is it safe to plug a heater into an extension cord?
It is generally not safe to plug a heater into an extension cord because heaters draw a lot of power and can overload the cord, potentially causing a fire hazard. It is recommended to plug heaters directly into a wall outlet to ensure safety.
Draw conclusions what impact did electricity have on industry?
Essentially, electricity has helped create the "idea" of industry. Electricity helped industrial production on scales never seen before (aka mass production).
