I’m installing a couple of electric baseboard heaters and want to be clear as to the wiring & breaker size.
If I use a 240V, 500 Watt, 2.1 amp heater I would have to use a 20 amp breaker – correct? The proper wire size would be?
If I were to use a 120V, 500 Watt, 4.2 amp heater could I use 14 gage wire on a 15 amp breaker? Would it be feasable to put two of these heaters (8.4 total amps) on one breaker? Thanks for the help.
