I want to run this water heater, (10 gal., 120VAC, 1650W), at a remote location. (Approximately 20ft. from the breaker box.) Would 12-2 be sufficient?
Speaking of power usage,
since the element runs on 120v, wiring an electromechanical analog clock across the element for 24 hours or so will tell the heat loss through his R8 insulation.
If the clock advances 5 minutes every 600 minutes with no hot water being used then his loss is 1650w(5m/600m) = 14 w = 48 BTU/hr.
I definitely have to find a day job. . .
Some Germans sent me this pic. I'll pass the buck to them if the kid disappears and the snake has grown noticeably larger.And I think the Indian-Indonesian anti-defamation league will soon be contacting you about that kid in a bowl about to be eaten by a snake.
