I'm installing a new water heater.. 240V, 4500W, so that is 18.75 amps..so I need a double 20 amp circuit? I guess using the existing double 30A would be to much..(.Hmm just answered that question by looking at the other blog..150% over 18.75A is 28.125A and the next higher breaker is 30A so I'm good)....
I would also like to wire the heater to the existing dryer plug for ease of moving the tank, is it OK to use a dryer plug and wires of the correct gauge or should I really use metal conduit?
