The GE water heater SE50M12AA01 is a 5500 watts or 5.5 Kilowatts water tank. The amperage on such a tank is I = W/E. Amps = Watts/Volts. Since most hot water tanks in North America use a voltage of 240, the amps will be 22.9 amps. It must be fed with a #10 conductor from a 30 amp breaker.

Yes but you will not get the full watt rating out of the tank. Watts = amps x volts. Say the tank draws 20 amps. 20A x 240V = 4800 watts. 20A x 208V = 4160 watts. It will take longer to heat your water with less wattage.

How many watts does a 240 volt water heater use?

Different 240 volt watt water heaters use different amounts of watts! Look at your water heater. It should have a plate that lists the watts! On the other hand, the water heater only uses watts when it is heating water. If the family uses paper plates and takes brief showers by getting wet, turning off the shower, applying soap, and then rinsing, it will use a lot less electricity than if every member of the family runs out the tank of hot water taking a hot shower every day.
