How many BTU's does the 240 VAC unit crank out / hour?

This unit is made for additional heating for a small area as bathroom using it for a large area that is unheated is a waste of money unit is not made to run 24/7....

2000W is about 6820 BTU equivalent.These are strictly NOT equivalent units, because BTU is a measure of energy, while Watt is a measure of power. The BTU value I provided you above is the BTU per hour value, which is what most HVAC industry uses (erroneously). But it would give you an idea.

BTUs (British Thermal Units) are a measure of energy. As noted in a previous response, the unit can generate 2000 watts of power. An equivalent measurement number was provided by the Dr. and Mr. Bailey (6820/6824 BTUs). Are you concerned about area of coverage? I trust this feedback helps...

Yes they are 240. Great heater, u won't be disappointed. They're petty easy to install but I would get an electriion.

According to the label the current draw is less than 2 amps at 120 VAC, which would be less than 240 watts.

No, max BTU for single appliance is 100,000 btu/hr. Maxitrol website has charts. If you are not sure what you are doing, be very careful!

120 Volts, 60 Hz; continueous draw = 12.5 amps, minimun draw = 5 amps, BTU = 2,050-5,200; power use = variable from under 50% to 1,50eatts @ 100%.

I'm pretty sure it is 120 vac. I don't know whether switching is integrated.

Dear J. Drinkwater, The BTU's of the 280KK is 50,000. Please let us know if we can be of any other assistance. TheBBQDepot

High/1500, Low/750. BTU: High/1500, Low/2561I found these specs by googling the writing on the shipping box (luckily/lazily the heater that I ordered is still sitting inside of the box in by utility room).

IF you find the spec sheet it will tell you the maximum BTU per appliance and the maximum total. As I recall, the max appliance is 90,000 BTU and the total was 200,000 BTU. I don't know why the single appliance limit was so much less than the total. Doesn't make sense. You can download the spec sheet (I didn't save the link).

I have the single page installation and maintenance manual in front of me here. There is a warning on the front page of this manual that states the model KBP2406 can operate on 208 VAC. According to the warning there will be 25% less wattage draw and 13% less Amps. It comes shipped from the factory configured for maximum wattage which is 5700 watts at 240 VAC. At 208 VAC that would be reduced to 4275 watts and one would still need to feed using #10 wire size. Fed with 240 VAC the possible configurations are: 5700, 4750, 3800, 2850, and 1900 watts. The 3800 watt configuration specifies #12 wire minimum. Above 3800 watts specifies #10 wire and below 3800 watts specifies #14 wire. My setup plugs into a welder outlet in the garage. Additional parts are required and for my application the following additional parts were purchased: Feed wire; #10 SOOW-C3. (I'm using 24 feet and the heater is working fine with that.), Winged(1 Pkg)wire nuts: Commercial Electric 498-378., 3/4" Strain Relief: Halex ACC #21694., (this strain relief/clamp Pkg didn't come with an electrical locknut, consider using one if possible) Wall Plug: Leviton 275-T configured for 30 Amps for my application. (Matched to wall outlet) The heater has pigtails inside that are prestripped so it's a simple matter of using wire nuts to make the mains and ground connections inside the heater. The most difficult part is punching out the 3/4" knock out blank in the back of the heater. I resorted to backing one side with a wrench socket and working the knock out side to side. There are 2 knockouts; one is 3/4" and the other is 1/2". For #10 wire size one must utilize the 3/4" knockout. In summary, then, yes you can connect this heater to 208 VAC. I would just like to reiterate how impressed I am with how well this heater performs. We will never be without one ever again!

Depends on the total wattage draw. A fridge is typically 800-1200 and will peak when the compressor kicks on. Air conditioners will draw a lot of power when they kick on as well. I wouldn't expect to run both at the same time on a 2400 watt continuous and 3200 peak model.

The short answer is no. I have installed several of these units with 240-service. All are still running great. Voltages actually fluctuate a good deal depending on load. While a voltage drop can be harmful to sensitive computer components, a piece of heavy equipment such as this will be unaffected. My only advice would be to carefully calculate the BTU's required for your space and then purchasing the correct size.

Yes this is a 240v heater, if you want the max heating btu it will take at least a 40 amp dedicated circuit.

Mine is 120-130 VAC 60 HZ. Goodness, all the way from the Land Down Under to Memphis, TN USA? Wow. I have no idea what your standard electric power is in Australia. Oh, and one other thing, if it has a 120 to 240 switch on it somewhere, I don't know, but it is 0130HRS (1:30 AM) here right now, so I will have to wait and get back to you tomorrow. The thing is packed up in my shop out back. Later Jude.
