Best Answer

If you are using typical residential voltages ( 120v/240v) a 40 amp breaker is plenty big enough. You could even use a twenty amp breaker.

No you can't! If it's a 220 volt system. Then 220 * 40 = 8800 Watt maximum energy output.

How much hydro does a 4800 watts heater use?

To determine the hydro usage of a 4800-watt heater, you would need to know the length of time the heater is running. For example, if the heater runs for 1 hour, it would use 4.8 kWh (4800 watts x 1 hour = 4800 watt-hours = 4.8 kWh) of electricity. You can calculate the usage by multiplying the wattage of the heater by the number of hours it is in operation.


Is 30 amp double pole breaker ok for 4800 watt wall heater?

Yes, a 30 amp double pole breaker would be suitable for a 4800 watt wall heater. Since watts equals volts multiplied by amps, this wall heater on a 240-volt circuit would draw 20 amps (4800 watts/240 volts), which is less than the 30 amp capacity of the breaker.


How much power in watts does an electric clothes dryer use if it draws 20 amps of current from a 240 volt wall outlet?

4800 watts because watts = volts x amps.


Can a 4800 watt water heater run on a double pole 15 amp breaker?

Current in amps = watts/ voltage in volts. If you have a 240 volt supply, it will draw 4800/240 = 20 amps, so no. This is a very powerful water heater, and would normally be wired into a dedicated circuit, presumably with a 30 amp breaker.
