But why do you want to connect them in series since this will under feed the heaters? I recommend that you connect them in parallel across the supply so that they each have 115v and thus provide good heating effect.

Q: What would be the result of three defrost heaters each 12.5 ohms wired in series to a 115 volt power supply if the heaters were to supply a 360 watt heating load?

Can you connect two hot water heaters together?

Yes, domestic hot-water heaters are often connected in parallel for added volume of hot water or in series for more efficient heating of the water. In a commercial installation there could be three or more heaters in parallel for increased simultaneous volume and another in series to supply the others for pre-heating to speed recovery to a comfortable temperature.


How can you connected two heating elements each having 1000 watts to get lowest heating?

Connect the two heaters in series. The supply voltage, what ever the value, will be split in half across the two heaters. If the voltage is dropped by half across the two heaters in series, the wattage of each heater will be dropped to one quarter of the heaters wattage rating at its full voltage rating. The new wattage's will be added together for a new total wattage for the circuit. When you find the heaters working voltage use these two formulas; This one to find the resistance of the heater at its working voltage value, R = E (squared)/Watts. Then to find the watts at the reduced voltage value, W = E (squared)/R. R being the heaters resistance in ohms from the first formula.

Are electric heaters connected in series or parallel?

Some are series, some parallel, some both. Depends on the design. Series heaters will have all the heaters fail or shut off should one burn out or open circuit. Should a series heater short out the other heaters will see increased voltage so must be able to handle full voltage or they will overheat and fail. Parallel heaters will not notice if one of the others open circuit. If protection devices, such as fuses or overloads or overtemp, are installed for each heater all others will continue to operate if one shorts out or fails. Parallel heater designs are more common.

How do you draw a circuit diagram of an electric blanket?

The way I have done this with things such as heaters, window defrosters, etc. is to model the heating element as a resistor (or a set of resistors in different parallel and series combinations, based on the layout). The wire used in the electric blanket (the heating elements) should have a specific resistance per length; calculate the length of the different sections, and create a lumped resistive element of this total length.


Rheen Water Heaters Offers Tankless Versions?

In addition to a full line of traditional tank water heaters, Rheem also offers tankless water heaters that are designed to leave less of a carbon footprint on the environment. The company's Prestige� Series Condensing Tankless Gas and Tankless Gas units are designed for homes with busy families, luxury bathrooms or vacation homes. These units provide quick start up and ample supply to run a variety of water heating applications simultaneously. Tankless electric water heaters are smaller and designed for point-of-use applications. They fit under bathroom or kitchen sinks and are perfect for small, detached buildings.
