I have a double pole 30 amp breaker would be possible to just change the breaker as I have a two story house and wiring is in the areas between floors

Breakers are there to prevent over current on the wiring in your home. The breakers are sized to the wire so replacing a 30a breaker with a 40a breaker without changing the wiring would probably result in a fire.

You must have 3 40A breakers. You will want to install as close to electric box as possible.

20 Amp double pole breaker using 12 AWG wire. This unit draws 8+ amps I'm told. I have a 2004 and 1504 (around 6+ amps I'm told) on a 20 amp two pole breaker. Seldom am I ever drawing 14+ amps because I use a stat on each heater.

Yes its best to wire it to a double pole breaker closest to the main. It comes with easy to fallow instuctions.

The answer I got from a little web search was 10 Amps. I can tell you I'm running two (20 Amps if search answer was accurate) on a 30 Amp breaker with no problems.

You would be better off the changing the two(2)prong outlet for a three(3)prong.for ground protection.And for a two or three dollars investment,you will be safe

No, you cannot. You need a NEMA 6-50, however, it should be pretty easy to change the outlet. (that is if the existing circuit is wired with the proper gauge wire - 6GA I think - on its own dedicated 40A breaker)

This could be done,but unless you are a licensed electrician, I wouldn't try it. The job would involve separating these circuits at your breaker box and rewiring to a separate switch box. 30 amps would not handle all those appliances. This breaker was probably added to the generator to supply enough power to operate an RV.

Is should work on your household plug but it might trip several times you might just want to change your 15 amp receptical and breaker to a 20 amp receptical even better you could go with a 30amp receptical and breaker. If you plan to use it occasionally I think with a 20 amp should be fine you don't have to replace the wire on your house but if you going to go with a 30amp receptical you probably have to replace the wire in your house.

This system is 220-240 VAC, single phase. Yes, you need to bring directly from your breaker box. Here is how I did. I added two 15 amps breakers at the main box. Every house has two 110VAC poles. Be sure to connect each of them to the 15 amps breaker. Then bring the wire to your system. In my case I added another 15 amps breakers next to the system out side my house. My system is 24000 btu, rated at 9 amps per phase. The rule of thumb is that your fuse must be between 120-133% of the rating on the system. Goodluck

10-3 wire is never to be used with a breaker more than 30 amps ! consult the national electric code for more info or a electrician.

No you can not. It takes six hot leads to make it work(the three double pole breakers). Use what is recommended for warranty and to avoid damage to the unit.

This circuit breaker type is used on boats, this amperage is 50amp breaker you are requesting to replace 40amp breaker with larger one. I would recommend going with the same amperage, wire size and load plays a big part in DC circuits.

Yes you can use the normal breaker and wall switch. Any that has a metal reflector and is rated for a 250 watt light(important so it won't melt).

Mine is on a 40 amp breaker...30 is Is to lite for the 7500 would be ok for The smaller unit.

I put in a 40 amp breaker for this unit, but have th jumpers set to 5000 watts and have never needed to run it on high in my 3 car insulated garage, so a 30 amp breaker would have worked.

This will go in the place of two existing breakers. The two 20amp breakers on the outside allow you to do this without the need of any extra breaker space. The one white wire needs to connect to the neutral bar in the main panel.

Your sub panel likely has 240 volts. You need room in this panel for a duplex breaker set for the amperage needed. If no room, then another sub panel off of that one can be added. Hope this helps.
