Default Re: Does Anyone Build Control Boxes

That sounds doable. At a 55A draw, that would be around 2640W per heater. I used 55A to give you a margin on your 60A circuit. The total draw would be about 13,200 Watts. (13,200 / 5 = 2640w per heater) I would use this for your upper limit when selecting heaters.

Forgot to mention: The margin you use will depend on how the 60A circuit is wired. If it's through conduit and whether the wire used supports the length of the run.
