How many UltraHeat® Heaters can be installed on a single branch circuit of my RVs 13.5 VDC power converter?
The total number of UltraHeat® Heaters that should be installed on a single branch circuit depends on the total current draw of all the heaters to be placed on this circuit. It is recommended that the total current draw of an individual branch circuit powering UltraHeat® Heaters should not exceed 15 Amperes (Amps.) Please refer to UltraHeat®’s specification sheets to get the current draw for individual heaters. Example: Should a Model 1200 tank heater and a Model PH-1512 pipe heater be wired together on a single branch circuit? The Model 1200 tank heater has a current draw of 9.9 Amps. The Model PH-1512 pipe heater has a current draw of 4.1 Amps. The total current draw for these heaters is 14.0 Amps. Yes, the Model 1200 tank heater and Model PH-1512 pipe heater can be wired together on the same branch circuit. All UltraHeat® Heaters installed on the same branch circuit must be wired in parallel.
