What does 208/240V ratings mean for electric baseboard?
(OP)
Hello,
I wanted to inquire about the 208/240V ratings that are available in most electric baseboards. Does it mean that the baseboard is compatible for 1-phase, 208V as well as 1-phase 240V connection? And also that when connected to 1-phase, 208V the output wattage would be 25% lower than, when connected to 1-phase 240V?
Thank you.
