Do you have to have a dedicated 30 amp breaker to install this?

I ran dedicated a 12awg cable and install 30amp breaker. When i tied it to the 14awg 20amp circuit it would trip when i have a microwave turn on.

Yes, you really should. It might not always run 30 amps continuously when it's on, but if you have anything else on it, you really risk tripping the breaker. (Obviously, 20A or lower breakers would not do at all.)

No additional breakers are required. The manual transfer switch has its own breakers and your existing service panel breakers are used so that each circuit is protected regardless of power source (obviously circuits NOT modified to be powered by the generator will be 'dead' during a power outage). Your choice of your "must have" circuits is important...I selected my furnace, refrigerator, two lighting circuits, living room wall outlets and basement lights. Thanks to LED bulbs, I can run all of those items on less than 4000 watts. I hope this helps. Stan

That way is that I am using, the answer is yes. Remember not to overload maximum 30 amp least 115%

Dedicated 110 volts with 30 amps. yes, with a licensed electrician and contractor.

Incoming power comes from knockouts on the bottom, or a removable plate on top. There is no breaker included. I hooked mine up to a 30 amp breaker in the panel in my house, and there is also a 30 amp breaker in my RV.

take a 30amp. main breaker on input side and a combination of up to 30 amps on the out put.

No, I just wired it to the thermostat that was wired directly to the breaker. Just like your furnace thermostat.

You will have to run cold water to the tank...you also need a dedicated 30 amp breaker to operate.

I'm not an electrician, but my understanding is that #8 wire and a 40-amp breaker is needed. At least that's what my electrician actually installed.

yes it does. some people have issues with it throwing breakers though. make sure you have it on a circuit that can handle it. i have mine on a 30A 110v circuit.

no you have to use 3 40 amp breakers. The heater has 3 heating elements which all require their own breaker.

Its better to have it hard wired to breaker. I believe it draws close to 16amps. I had my electrician run a line from my breaker box to a disconnect box. Note, The inside unit gets its power from the outside unit. It was super easy to install Once power was to the spot I needed,

Its a 21amp unit at highest pick a watt. 30 amp 2 pull breaker will do just fine.

3 60 amp breakers had mine installed by a real electrician to be sure but the plumping is simple ...nice unit ....

Yes, the main breaker in included.This 100 amp Load Center with the 30 space feature is real nice!

No. This panel only has space for the main breaker. If you want to add breakers, get one of these: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005GLDQVI You can add a 100amp breaker to it, and then use it to feed a sub-panel.

You don't need a dedicated circuit. I have mine on a 15amp circuit running two bedrooms and it's never tripped the breaker. If you're worried, keep it off of high draw circuits running hair dryers or electrical heaters and it'll be fine.
