How do I determine the voltage of the wall thermostat for an electric baseboard heater.?
There are two different types of thermostats for electric baseboard heaters. Line voltage and low voltage. Connection to a line stat used the source voltage from the distribution panel and operates like a switch. Because the baseboard heater usually is 240 volts the stat breaks both hot inputs. The stat output goes to the baseboard heater. When the stat calls for heat its internal switch closes and applied the 240 volt to the heater. On the side of the stat will be a voltage and current rating that the stat must operate within. The other type of thermostat is used in low voltage installations. Instead of the switch being in the wall like a line stat, there is a low voltage relay mounted in the baseboard heater itself. This relays coil is usually 24 volts AC. An external 24 volt transformer is needed to supply a voltage to this coil. This 24 volt supply is first taken to the low volt stat and an internal low voltage switch is used to energise the coil of the relay in the baseboard heater. The difference between the two stats is very noticeable in that the line stat is very heavily built with strong termination points. The 24 volt stat is very flimsy in comparison as the current it has to handle is only the relay coils current.
