Default Re: 50 amp contactor number

When it says 40amp motor thats for a electric motor that runs at or less then 40amp but pulls more on start up.Your not controlling a motor. you have heating elements thats resistance. You should be fine. But the only way to make sure is to test your voltage see if its 220v or 240v and the true ohm reading of the elements not the rated watts on paper. Again it should be fine.
