I am planning on connecting 3 baseboard heaters into my existing electrical panel. 2 are 1500W and the other is 750W. I know I can connect the 750W heater with an existing breaker (with other heaters on it) and I won't overload the circuit.
My problem is that I am hoping to connect the 2 - 1500W heaters onto one single pole breaker (I don't have room on my panel for a double pole).
Can I connect the two heaters to a 12-2 wire and a 20 amp breaker (single pole)?
I believe the heaters I bought are dual rated 1500W/1125W 240V/208V, if I connected this at 1125W 208V, will that help me out at all? And if yes, how do I wire this, 12/2 wire to 20 amp breaker (single pole)?
Thanks in Advance
