2 Pole Thermostats Electric Baseboard Heaters

They were simple to install but are designed to be installed on an electrical box.

2 pole thermostats electric baseboard heaters.

Step 3 remove all electrical power from the main panel circuit breaker box. They keep the heaters at a nice temperature when the temperature is being maintained so that they re not too hot and the temperature is easy to adjust. Run a new length of 12 2 with ground romex back to the heater. Either can be used as a line voltage thermostat controlling one or more 220 volt heaters.

It installs easily and eliminates the need for additional wiring. The cadet double pole baseboard mount thermostat conveniently mounts to either end of a cadet baseboard heater.

Double pole thermostats offer a true off function since the current to the baseboard heater is completely interrupted when the thermostat is off.

Sometimes we get calls from people who want to know if they can wire multiple heaters to one thermostat. These thermostats control baseboard heaters well between 110 220v. From the outside of the box they might look the same but double pole thermostats provide an inherent safety feature that single pole thermostats do not because single pole thermostats interrupt current flow but keep voltage on the heater. These three baseboard heaters can be connected to a two pole 30 amp breaker that is supplying power to the heaters with a two wire 10 gauge romex cable type wire.

Single pole and double pole thermostats are commonly used for baseboard heating. This diagram from the baseboard owner s guide shows how to correctly wire multiple baseboard heaters to one thermostat. Connect one supply wire to one thermostat wire typically marked l1. Route supply wires to the thermostat wiring box.

This thermostat offers a large twist dial design that adjusts smoothly for temperature regulation in your room. The answer to that question is yes you can wire multiple heaters to one thermostat if you re using 240 volt heaters and a 240 volt breaker. This category contains digital programmable double pole line voltage honeywell thermostats for electric baseboards convectors and fan forced heaters resistive rated loads as well as mechanical non programmable electric heat honeywell thermostats that provide 240 vac control for electric heat systems. With double pole thermostats both hot wires entering the thermostat box are attached to the thermostat.
