Dennis Alwon said:I am not sure it is a violation if the nameplate is 125volts as Bob had suggested.
I often wondered why many light fixtures had a UL approval-- I will probably never know why.
I see no problem with it. We are splitting hairs with .5 amps and the voltages-- I don't see that as an issue but....
The reality is an office generally has 20 amp circuits, however to approve these heaters on that scale would be a mistake unless a separate cir (20amp) were run to each of the units.
Here are the specs on the first one that came up in a google search, similar to the item up for approval:
Specifications:
Dimensions: 8.7 x 8.7 x 11.4 Inches
Input: 120 Volts, 60 Hz.
Current, Maximum Continuous Draw: 12.5 Amps
Watts: 650/1,000/1,500
5200 BTU's
Tip-Over Switch, Auto Overheat Protection, And Cool-To-The-Touch Housing
Plug Type: NEMA
