'More proof that Davey has no clue!
Better check your math, and your code book Davey! 14KW comes out to over
58 amps @ 240 volt'


Hi Greg, Dont think we have every talked before. Are you a typical
Antagonistic person in the Hvac Trade who likes to spread sadness and
discontent like Bubba ?! Here is my reference again to amperage on a
14 kw furnace -- notice the word :"AROUND" . Please dont be a typical
Jerk , as we need people in this Trade that arent , so HO's adopt a
better impression of our Trade. Thanks much ! :

'A 14 kw. furnace should pull right around 56 amps at 240 v. with motor
running. Thats pretty close to a 60 amp breaker.


Am I a typical antagonistic person in the HVAC trade? No I don't believe so.
It just when I see someone posting wrong information I like to see that it
gets corrected. If you fit that situation, so be it.
No where will codes allow you to put a even 56 amp load on a 60 amp breaker,
using you numbers.
If you want pretty close, heck a 50 amp breaker is pretty close too, but in
reality a 75 or 80 amp breaker would be required for a 56-58 amp load.
Pretty common knowledge.
Give correct information, and my bet is you will be left alone. As long as
you keep posting wrong information you will get flamed, simple as that.
Greg
