something different...
Running wire for a 240 VAC hot water heater in good old fashioned galvanized conduit for an "on the grid" client. A little more dangerous than 12 VDC... 61,74,36,0,B
Yeah, I know. Hot water heater sounds redundant and just calling it a water heater seems to make more sense. Both terms are used. However... Since the water gets heated all the way to the temperature that is set, a hot water heater really does heat water that already is hot. If such a heater is set to 160 degrees, the water still gets heated when it already is 155 degrees. Since 155 degree water is hot, the device clearly heats hot water.
beware the current…
ReplyDeleteJust wondering why your client needs to heat his hot water......
