    Resistive vs tungsten ?
    Is a heater Resistive or tungsten watts?

    (my heater draws 1500 watt and my timer's max capacity is 1875 resistive /600 watts tungsten)

    Tungsten is an element like copper... Wikipedia is good read...

    The only sure answer to dx4530's question is to read the manufacturer's listing information.
