This is for a water heating element that I do not want to run at its full wattage (4500W).
Trying to keep this element cool enough to insulate on one side with silicone caulking.
Specs for the voltage regulators are not that heavy duty:
Assuming that one side of the phase will act as the neutral for the other.
What would be the best way to wire these for the least amount of stress on the voltage regulators?
In parallel or series on one side of the element?
Or one on each end of the element?
Or would it be better to just use one side of the phase?
The voltage at my location is actually ~ 125V / 250V.
Thanks
