Can I use this to turn on a 2000 W electric baseboard heater?

yes, but your control power has to be dc. May be better off with a definate purpose contactor.

Yes, You would need to check the amount of amps the heater draws and the maximum amp load the timer switch is designed for ( I beleive it is 15 amps). Normally a separate circuit should be utilized for heaters.

Hi Paul,It depends on the amps of the small box space heater .This is the right way to use the inverter>>> http://www.amazon.com/review/R3RTW2NTIXFOON/Hope this helpsRegards,Angela CS Email Representative

Yes, of course. But you may want 2000W transformer for 750W appliance. I use this 3kW trans for 2kW hot plate. It worked fine but, in about one minute, the circuit breaker in my garage tripped. I guess it is the biggest one that you can use at home.

Usually the watts rating is on the back of the plug. If the heater rating is less than this it will work.

Yes this controller will work for you. You will need to use it to control a relay for that large of a load. I used a 60 amp definite purpose relay to control (4) 3.6 KW heating elements.

Yes that will work on this unit. I am an electrician and that will do the job.

I'm not familiar with recessed heaters, used this one on 220 V.baseboard heater. It opens one leg of a 220 circuit, I'd prefer it opened both legs so no current to ground when working on baseboard, but that seems to be the normal now...

Yes. Just be aware of what else is on the breaker that corresponds to where you plug it in. If I run my microwave I have to make sure the heater isn't on the same breaker or it'll trip. Granted, whoever wired this old house wasn't the smartest person.

Your heater needs 4000 Watts, however the converter is only 5000 Watts. In theory is should work however it is suggested to take about 50 % extra capacity on the transformer related to its anticipated use.Most likely it will work for a while, however the automatic fuse might activate...

No you can't. Operates at 23A (5600W/240V= 23.3A). You will burn down your house. Besides, the unit comes hardwired with a NEMA 6-30R plug which will not fit any 20A socket.

Sorry, I'm not sure. If the one you are switching it with pulls the same wattage it may work but I'm not well enough versed in electrical wiring to provide a correct answer. I would be concerned about over heating the wires inside the unit and causing a fire.

If the circuit is controlled by this thermostat, yes. If your wiring goes from the breaker directly to the heaters, no. This thermostat is intended to replace wall mounted thermostats, not on-board thermos. If you are replacing a wall mount thermo, then a series wired set of heaters is ok. Just make sure not to exceed the maximum amperage for the entire set. So Amperage = (sum of watts of all heaters on the circuit)/208 volts. The max load for this thermo is 12.5 Amps or 2600 watts total at 208V. Consult with your favorite electrician if you are unsure. If you want a digital on board thermo then use this: Cadet #03400 208/240V White Thermostat If the circuit is controlled by this thermostat, yes.

Yes, as long as the heater is not rated for over 5000 watts. Its a simple thermostat. One contact (2 wires) closes or opens by the heat setting and the other contact (2 wires) opens in the off position.

Yes, it should, but it would be better to get the higher wattage say 2,000W

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.

Yes as long as the ceramic heater is 220-240v and doesn't exceed the rated amp draw of the thermostat. i believe this thermostat is rated somewhere around 16-18 amps
