FOOTNOTES FOR PAGE 1 (KW INPUT AVAILABILITY CHART)

* Ahead of wattage indicates, Not Available with Incoloy elements (copper elements only) for those voltage and wattage.
** Ahead of wattage indicates 30-gallon mobile home and 30 gallon tall models, Not Available with Incoloy elements.
Some models using lower wattage elements will require a “W” suffix adder to the model number.
Refer to the Product Specification sheet to determine requirements by model.
208 volt with 6kw elements in an interlock circuit are available for the models showing this combination above.
Circuit Types
C2 Circuit – 2 wire lead, single element models only
A6 Circuit – 2 wire lead, double element models, single phase interlocking
A9 Circuit – 3 wire lead double element models, 3-phase unbalanced or off peak (can be wired single phase) – not available 120v or 277v
P4 Circuit – 4 wire double element models simultaneous operation (can be wired 3-phase simultaneous or single phase simultaneous)
Caution should be taken when ordering P4 Circuit (simultaneous operation) to ensure breaker amperage is sufficient for increased amp pull.
Note: - Circuit types listed above DO NOT APPLY TO ELECTRONIC THERMOSTAT MODELS. Electronic Thermostat models 240v 4500w and 208v 4500w ET Circuits or 240v 5500 & 208v & 240v
4500w ES Circuit.
- Heat Pump and Solar Booster models are excluded from this table.
