What size breaker should be used for 1500 watt bathroom exhaust fan heater?
20 amp breaker 12 gauge wire assuming its 120 volt
What is the breaker size for a 10 KVA electric heater?
What size breakers are needed for a 30kva transformer 208 volt feed 600 volt out put
What size breaker for 120 volt 2500 watt water heater?
20 amp is perfect, 15 is fine
What is breaker size for 240 volt 9 KW?
The formula you are looking for is I = W/E.
What size breaker needs to be installed for 15000 watt 240 volt heater?
15,000 watts at 240 volts will use 62.5 amps. Therefore you will need to use AWG #3 wire on a 100 amp breaker.

What size wire for 277 volt 1ph 13.2 amps heater?
depends on length of circuit, continuous duty or not. not knowing these factors i would say 12awg on a 20a breaker.
What size breaker should you use if you have a 1500 and a 1000 watt heater run together?
The size of the breakers depends on the voltage. According to the NFPA electrical standard (USA), if the two heaters you describe are "120 volt plug-in" then they are not allowed on the same circuit. Two circuits are needed. The largest general use circuit allowed for 120 volt receptacles is 20 amps and this will not handle your two appliances. An exception may exist if they are hard wired to a dedicated circuit, or if they are 240 volt.
If a heater claims to be 1500 watts how long would it take for that heater to draw 1500 watts?
Watts is the amount of power the heater has and amps would be the draw- if it is a 120 volt heater than the amps would be 12.5 amps and it is instantaneous
What size amp circuit breaker should be used for a 20 gallon 1500 watts water heater?
To answer this question the voltage that is to be used should be stated. If the tank is 240 volts then 1500/240 = 6.25 amps. A 2 pole 15 amp breaker with a #14 wire will work fine. If the working voltage is 120 volts then 1500/120 =12.5 amps. A single pole 20 amp breaker with a #12 conductor will work fine. The reason for the up size in wire for the 120 volt system is that conductors are only allowed to be loaded to 80% capacity. A #14 wire is rated at 15 amps x 80% = 12 amps which is just under the required amperage of the 1500 watt heater. A #12 wire is rated at 20 amps x 80% = 16 amps. The code book states that if the current of the load is over the capacity of the wire rating the next size conductor is to be used.
What size amp circuit breaker should be used for a hot water tank?
Assuming you are referring to a 240 volt residential hot water heater you will need to install 10/2 NM cable (Romex) with ground from the service panel to the water heater wired to a 30 amp circuit breaker in the service panel. If you cannot see the water heater from the service panel you will need to install a service disconnect at the water heater.
What size breaker for a 12 Volt 50 watt light?
50W@12V is 4.2 amps, so any breaker rated that or higher should work.
