Question:

How many square meters of electric power does the electric water heater need 3.2KW?

My water heater often full speed hot bile display two 3.2KW (almost 24 hours) I added 2.5 square wire is the water heater started some time ago often open for a period of time he turned off the water heater or wire because of reason? If the standard heating is a 3.2Kw, the minimum power can be 2KWThe forgotten often bile speed hot plug and power line not long after the water heater will be very hotI saw what everybody says, that is, standard 3.2KW can be usedBut I would like to ask again, the whole bile fast heat 6.4KW later can use? How long will it take? If only standard 3.2Kw is available, can you open 12 hours per day?

Answer:

3.2Kw water heater with 2,5 square copper core line can meet the requirements, but must be of good quality GB line. Frequent outages may be caused by inadequate switching specifications and excessive load tripping. It is recommended to replace the qualified air switch or leakage protective switch, and the switch of the water heater shall be no less than 20A.If it is 6.4KW, must not use 2.5 square lines, will be seriously hot, but also the water heater can not reach the rated power. At least 4 square copper wires must be used. As long as the wire, switch to achieve the load requirements of the water heater can be open all day long, but if it is a water storage type water heater, it will stop automatically when the heating water temperature reaches the set value, so even if you don't actually open all day long in the heating all day.
Household electrical wire, copper, aluminum wire, the cross sectional area of optional 1,5--16 mm2. Refrigerator, air conditioning, television, washing machines and so on, there are 4 flat (whether copper, aluminum wire, the best copper, the same back) very well, air conditioning to choose 10--16 flat, you can safely use. I think the problem is not thin line, but your home circuit quota is too low, or there is a road load is too large, looking for electrical re configuration. It should be all right.
2.5 square copper core line, the water heater itself is about 2 square meters. The whole gallbladder is hot for only a few minutes, usually only under 3.2KW
