would this work to regulate a 3000watt heating element?

If you try to draw 3,000 watts through this dimmer, you will cause it to be IMEADIATELY overheated. It will melt before your eyes, and you are risking a house fire if you try this. I have owned one of these for about 5 years, and it works great, but NEVER used more than 300 watts with it.

Sense it is relatively low wattage I'd say yes. If you have doubts use a thermostat and/or a power strip. My best guess...

I am not sure how much power this can handle. It does work with my 55,000 BTU heater which draws (as far as I know) 10 amps (to run the pump/fan).I suspect it would work, as long as you don't have to do anything to the heater to get it to turn on after you plug it in. If you have to turn on a switch/push a button/etc. after plugging in the heater, this won't work since it's just like you unplugged your heater after the desired temperature was reached, and plugged it back in when it gets too cold.

Since the unit has a 1,500W heating element, two fans, and two lamps, I would err on the side of prudence and give it its own 20-amp circuit (which, by the way, the specifications in the Amazon product description (http://www.amazon.com/Broan-QTX110HL-Silent-Series-Heater/dp/B000QE7F26/ref=cm_cd_al_qh_dp_i).

No to small it would work but over power the heater. You would need the next size up

Yes, it should, but it would be better to get the higher wattage say 2,000W

I put it in a Quelet 10000 watt heater. It allows you to control this unit with a regular low voltage thermostat. The heater I bought seems to be designed to go with this relay. It took me a little bit to figure out how this was wired, but if I recall it was very simple I did this almost 2 years ago

Maybe. Find out if the regulator will overheat with a 12V input. Probably better to use a 5V supply.

Probably will work, depending on the heating system. I am not at all familiar with RV heat systems. This needs a 24 volt common wire from the furnace controller, then the 2 wires to control the system. Seems kind of overkill, though. This has features for remote access from the internet ( through your wifi router, only if you have this), and programmable 7-day heat/cool cycles.

I am not really sure how this will work but leaning towards on the safe side, I would say NO. This heater is drawing a lot of power and I think the generator as the source will not work for this application.If I were you, I will contact the generator manufacturer and explain how you plan of using the unit. I hope this helps.

In order to turn this element to lower power, you either need to supply it with a lower voltage (run it at 120V instead of 240) or you have to drive it using a controller. A controller could be of a PWM style (50% power would be to turn it on for 50% of the time, then off for 50% of the time, but switch really quickly) or of a phase angle control style.Just search for heating element controller and you should be able to find a few companies selling them (or search on forums to build your own)

Probably will work. That's what I have and I have 6 of these for all the zones. My answer assumes your heating system uses low voltage at the thermostat (not 110V). And it probably does, but you should verify.

I think this can replace your thermostat. You didn't say if the system was electric or gas (hot water) heating but the heavy current is probably being handled by a system relay. You can download the manual and installation document from Honeywell for additional information, and/or check with a heating contractor to be sure.

I don't think so. It is only 11 watts I don't think it would warm it enough to give you what you are looking for.

Usually the watts rating is on the back of the plug. If the heater rating is less than this it will work.

I don't see why not. However, you will need a 240 volt circuit and have to wire that heater for 240 volt operation. The thermostat requires this voltage.

I assume it is electric baseboard heat in which case it is probably controlled by a relay. If you have a voltmeter or multimeter you can check the voltage at the thermostat wire. If it is approximately 24 volts then it will probably work.
