I am installing a RHEEM UHLA-HM4821JA Air Handler that will contain a 15kW RXBH-24A15J Heating Element. Per the manual I can wire the heat strip one of two ways, either I can buy a 2 pole jumper RXBJ-A21 and run a single power run or run two separate power runs one to each of the power strips two breakers (60A and 30A).
I have run 2-2-2-4 (100 A) Aluminum from the home's outside service to a 125A 8/16 load center place about 2 feet from the air handler. The load center will accept up to 4 double pole breakers. I plan to run copper from the load center to the air handler.
Am I better off running separate runs to each of the heat strips elements or buying a the RXBJ-A21 jumper and running one larger single run. I believe I will need 60A and 30A
