What type breaker would this use 240 Vac How many amperes? Thanks

To figure out the amp. draw of any appliance you divide the wattage by the voltage. In this case 2000/240 is 8.3. The breaker size needs to be at least 20% larger. FOr this heater--you would need a double pole 15 amp breaker. This is for a single heater if you're going to run multiple heaters off the same thermostat/circuit, you will need to figure them in as well and size the breaker and wiring accordingly.

The breaker size depends on the wire size used going to the heater. This heater only requires 8 amps at 240 v. #14 wire with a 2 pole 15 amp breaker would work. #12 wire with a 2 pole 20 amp breaker would also work.

Plf2004 heater draws mere 8.3 amps, therefore, 15 amp double pole is adequate.

20 Amp double pole breaker using 12 AWG wire. This unit draws 8+ amps I'm told. I have a 2004 and 1504 (around 6+ amps I'm told) on a 20 amp two pole breaker. Seldom am I ever drawing 14+ amps because I use a stat on each heater.

This machine has a 110 plug and no manuel switch that goes from 110 to 240. 240 would probably fry the wiring in this small appliance, sorry. I have welded and plasma cut with 240 before. We run on AC current here in the US, not DC. Why don't you try to contact the manufacturer directly and ask if the have another appliance better suited to your market. Sorry, I do not have anymore ideas. Martha

John, The P4400 does not work with 240 volt appliances. It is designed for 115 volt and the maximum voltage is 125. See P4400 data sheet at http://ec1.images-amazon.com/media/i3d/01/A/man-migrate/MANUAL000010953.pdf

I just looked at the picture (above) with the AC adapter, and the label says 100 to 240 VAC, which is the standard type of AC adapter these days. But, if you live in a country, where they have AC wall sockets that are different from standard USA sockets, you might need a simple adapter. It just changes the configuration of the plug, (not the voltage) so it will plug into non-USA sockets.. PS: These adapters accept both 50 and 60hz power.

I believe the voltage rating is 120 volts. To do 240 v you would need an adaptor.

If I understand your question, yes. I have two of these units (in the U.S.), each on a 220-240 VAC circuit.

Look at the Lee Precision web site and they tell you which are 120 AC or 240AC. Generally they are 120 VAC, but the SKU90008 and the Sku 90024 are 240 VAC. I would prefer the 240 AC because the load current is only half what the 120 VAC will be. That is assuming you have a 240 V outlet. If not, go to the electric box and tap off the 240 VAC for a separate line. If you know zero about ac wiring, get a friend to do it that knows what he is doing or hire an electrician.

It calls for a 60 amp breaker. Check with home depot or lowes or whoever sells you the needed 60 amp 220 volt breaker. I used copper 2 conductor 6 gage with bare 8 gage copper safety ground. Not sure what code in your area wants though. How far is it from the heater to the circuit box? Mine is only about 12 ft. If you have a real long run you may need to go to a bigger gage yet but I doubt it. This thing does suck a lot of power!

Belkin SurgeCube is a surge protector for 120volt devices. I have our boiler connected through it and that's working fine. So, while refrigerator and microwave (both 120 volt appliances) should work fine, most electric dryers run on 240volts - this surge protector is not meant for that application.

The receptacle needed for the 240V is a NEMA 6-20, and needs to be on a 20A breaker.

What you have there is a Nema 6-20P 240V appliance. Leg1+Leg2+Ground instead of Leg1+Neutral+Ground. You can't run such an appliance off 120V (unless you use a step-up transformer). The easiest and least expensive solution is probably to install a 240V circuit.

According to the Zojirushi manufacturer's website, this is rated for 120 volts and that is what I use. It does not say that it can be used at 240 volts so I would not attempt it. If you go to the link that I am attaching, you can download the complete user's manual and also obtain appliance specifications that may better answer your question. There is also a FAQ section. There may be information on products that do use 240 volts. http://www.zojirushi.com/products/cvdyc

The unit can be run on 110 or 220. the breaker size is a 20 amp single pole or a 30 amp double pole. Regular 110 is just fine. i have a 2 ton unit and it is jsut fine on the 110 outlet.

The one that I have is 110/120 only. You would need a converter, (available) to operate it on 240 volts.

Although I'm not a professional electrician, I would say NO as the system requires 3 - 40amp 220/240V circuit breakers (120Amp total).

Keith, my husband does not recommend 240 volts. Ours are plugged into a 120 outlet and they definitely work. We have a Florida winter home and since we've used these the roaches are gone.

There is NO single standard electric dryer 240v outlet. If your 240v outlet looks like this, then no extra cord/adapter required. Leviton 5461-W 20-Amp 250-Volt NEMA 6-20R, 2P, 3W, Narrow Body Single Receptacle, White
