I've been reading many of your posts about the ceramic heater elements and how you guys installed them. But I have a few questions.
I bought a ceramic heater off the shelf, got the element out. It's 1,500 watts element with 4 rows of ceramic elements (375 watts ea) and 4 actual ceramics on each row (93.75 watts ea):
On the side it says it's rated for 120 V / 60Hz / 1500 W.
So question #1 is, these things don't heat up with DC? It has to be AC?
My second question is, even tho it design for 120v, but can it work on a different voltage? a smaller voltage maybe? What will be the difference, will it draw more amps if I operate the element ant a lower voltage?
Thanks in advance...
