I am looking into getting a Dimplex Model DGWH4031 heater. The heater is rated for 240v. I contacted a seller of this model and inquired about the outlet plug for this model, noting that my "220" line has two horizontal slots along with a ground. This setup seems to work fine for my Jet contractor saw (rewired for 220) and my Rikon 18 bandsaw.
The response I received was that the heater in question is a 20 amp model and I needed a 30 amp model.
Electrical things make my head hurt.
What do amps have to do with the outlet and how does he know what ampage my outlet has and what the heck model do I need to get some heat in my shop?? It remains cold here in northwest chicagoland and I just want to sharpen some tools and clean up a bit before spring without spending $400 on my little enclosed oil heaters.
