You're trying to heat up a room to 250 degrees??? :blink:You will need more than 2 baseboard units for that.:thumbsup:
Baseboard heat
i've had two units consecutively not reach temperature like they should. i believe it's 250 deg. or something. The thermal is cutting in and out constantly.
This isn't normal right? i mean the cutout shouldn't be controlling the damn thing.
Can anyone verify this. My frustration comes from installing two units, one worked great, one didn't. Had another shipped, installed and it's doing the same as the other.
Factory rep said defective cutout, but i know only ET will know for sure.:whistling2:

I would put am amp clamp on each and see if current is what it should be.i've had two units consecutively not reach temperature like they should. i believe it's 250 deg. or something. The thermal is cutting in and out constantly.

You may be supplying a 120 volt element at 240.
Are you using a cheap thermostat? They are notoriously inaccurate.
quit buying cheap heaters?:laughing:

i'll do that. Do you mean, maybe a hiccup at the factory?I would put am amp clamp on each and see if current is what it should be.

The 2 pole thermostat is working normally (unit mounted).Are you using a cheap thermostat? They are notoriously inaccurate.
They are TPI heaters and t-stats from the SH. i guess they are cheap, but should do the job.quit buying cheap heaters?:laughing:

Yes.
I've never had one cycle on the thermo. Nothing the t-stat could do would cause that. Amp and voltage check. When I order baseboards from the SH, I times the number by two. Had too many bussing or dented ones holding up the job. Troubles seem to increase as the length does.3xdad said:i'll do that. Do you mean, maybe a hiccup at the factory?
