Have you folks ever wired a tankles electric water heater.
I just looked at one that seems quite different. It has three elements and all three elements are wired to one terminal block. The unit is rated at 100 amps and requires 3-2p 40's or 2 -2p 60's.
Are you suppose to handle tie all 3 breakers together. Is this legit?
Most if not all the ones I have seen have a terminal block for each element and a sperate breaker for each. How does this even trip in a fault?
Very weird!
