Default baseboard heater trips breaker - Bad stat?

Hi,
Be logical. If it worked with fuse OK and now breaker trips wouldn't it
mean the breaker is under rated? What is in there now?


Hi,
Be logical. Do the math. What is in there now is the 20A breaker he said was
in there. 240V / 28 ohms is less than 9 amps; how do you figure a 20A breaker
is under-rated for a 9-amp load?
