I have 2kw storage type water heater, 277V single phase and branch circuit breaker provided is 20A. Quoted 422.13 and said should be 15A but was told 20A breaker is okay since #12 AWG wire is provided.
Questions:
1. Where is the above mention that makes 20A breaker okay in NEC 2014 section 422 or elsewhere?
2. Should the breaker be 15A or 20A and what code section?
