Hi all,

I'm quite confident wiring some baseboards that I need to install...
they're 240V, various sizes.

What I'm not sure of is how to have multiple baseboards on the same
circuit? Can I do it with a 2-conductor wire (as both conductors are
"hot")?

It is easy enough to wire, but bear in mind that the breaker and all the
associated wire must be large enough to carry the current required by three
heaters. Unless they are tiny, that is a problem.

My cottage had three 15a baseboards with #12 wire and a 50a breaker. It
also had a 23a water heater on #12 with a 30a breaker. Amazing it didn't
burn down in the 35 years it was like that.
