So here's the deal- I'm working at a hair salon/day spa recently, running power to a second electric water heater to work in tandem with the existing.
The service is a highleg so I have to move a some circuits around to get two spaces together and keep the 120V loads off the high leg.
Are you telling me that all I needed to do was swap out the breaker on the existing water heater with a three pole, land my hots for both water heaters accordingly and been done before lunch?
the phase common to both heaters will carry 1.73 times current as other phases, you will probably need a feeder supplied by the 3 pole breaker and individual protection for each heater.
