You are a journeyman electrician in an industrial plant. You have been assigned the task of connecting a 25-kW electric heater to a 240-V, single-phase panel. The heater is located in an area with an ambient temperature of 90°F. The conductors are to be copper with Type TW insulation. The heater is expected to operate for more than three hours at a time. What size conductors would you use to connect this heater? Is this correct?
