It looks like your "box" is only supplied by 2 wires ( line and neutral ) but I don't see a ground.

Installing a sauna heater without a ground would be against code and really quite dangerous.

I think there is a ground in the picture. It is hard to see.



As there seems to be just the line and neutral, isn't having 2 of the 15
amp fuses (they look like the breaker type) going to be too much if the
wires are # 12 or maybe # 14 ?
