[QUOTE="ProDave, post: 373889, member: 6969"] I tried to post an answer last night but the thread got locked. At 220V and 3000W the heater will draw 13.6 Amps Now connect the same heater to 240V and it will draw 14.8 Amps and produce 3500W of heat So a dedicated supply fed from a 15A MCB sounds the way to go. But you will be running the heater beyond it's ratings so don't expect it to last long. [/QUOTE]
