does it need a circuit breaker/ 240 V dedicated strictly to it alone

You could tie it into a 240VAC circuit breaker that is already n use. Anything on the line should be protected but may get more surge than one of the other lines. I have mine on a separate breaker and the breaker blew when the surge hit so there might be some backlash from the surge protector. Idea;y i would put in another circuit breaker, but piggy-backing on an existing line would definitely be better than not having the surge protector at all.

no you have to use 3 40 amp breakers. The heater has 3 heating elements which all require their own breaker.

It is set to use just to 240 volts supply for the Water Heater. You do not need a separate 120 volt circuit. It is VERY simple to connect.

No. This unit is meant to be connected to a 120VAC outlet. If you wish to operate this unit using a 240VAC outlet, you would need to buy a voltage converter (240VAC to 120VAC) that can handle at least 85 watts.

it does not need electricity, it is gas. if it has an optional fan it will need 110v. fan is not necessary for normal operation.

As others have said, it requires 12v DC. You'll need a power supply for operating it from household power.

Yes (it's actually 240V). You have to use two adjacent breakers (within either the 6 upper 15A, or the 4 lower 20A). The unit comes with two removable handle ties, and you need one of these for each 240V circuit you need. I used the uppermost two 15A breakers for a 240 V well connection, and it works fine.

No there is nothing special required. You can plug it into a standard 120V outlet.

The requirement is for a standard household electric socket. The A/C should be on a circuit by itself to prevent overloading the circuit when then unit turns on and off.

If I am not mistaken (from my experience), it came w/ a transformer to make the light run on 240V. If you want to hard wire it, make sure you don't cut 'that thing' away

It does not have individual circuits. It is used solely as a manual transfer switch whereas utility power and generator power come in to the box, and then EITHER feeds another main box with individual circuits, but will not allow utility nor generator to be on at the same time.

You do not need a dedicated circuit for the Duraflame heater but you should not place too many electrical items on the circuit that you are using for the Duraflame because it draws a lot of amps. I have my Duraflame on a 15 amp circuit breaker and it works fine. The voltage is 110. I'm not an electrician so if you aren't sure about the conflicting information that you are receiving you may want to consult with an electrician before you buy a Duraflame. It's a very nice product, well built, and worth the money.

You definitely have to wire this into your 240v circuit. No plug on this unit. Hope this helps.

Yes. It appears that the unit require to be connected to a 110 outlet during use.

Yes. It is a mechanical device that operates a switch. It does not connect to the wiring. If you happen to have 240V, or 110V, or 3,000V running through the switch, it doesn't matter.

It's a three prong plug, so if concerned about safety; yes it needs a ground (three prong outlet). As far as dedicated circuit, its powerful, but not like an big industrial motor, so dedicated circuit is not needed.

No you do not need 240v. I would recomend a 20 amp 120vac line for this unit.
