How many baseboard heaters running in parallel can you put on a 30 amp circuit breaker

You need to tell us the electrical requirements of each baseboard.

How many baseboard heaters running in parallel can you put on a 30 amp circuit breakerBy code electric heat is considered a continuous load. This means we can only load an electric heat circuit to 80%.

So a 240v/30A circuit for electric heat can have 5760 watts on it.
A 30A/120v circuit for heat makes no sense.

Need to know the watts of your units; and you need to use 10 gauge wire. Convert Watts to Amps. Watts/ Volts = Amps. 12 Watts/ 12 Volts = 1 Amp. At 120 volts 3,600 watts but you can only use 80% of that like stuartdoll's post states.
