For a 10kW appliance, you typically need a 60 Amp breaker.
To determine the size breaker needed for an electric heater, calculate the amperage draw of the heater and then choose a breaker that is rated at 125% of that amperage; essentially, the breaker should be 25% larger than the heater's amperage draw, and always round up to the next standard breaker size.
In summary, a 10kW heat strip can pull approximately 83.33 amps at 120 volts and 41.67 amps at 240 volts. Understanding the power consumption of a heat strip is crucial for proper electrical planning and safety considerations.
