Ohms Law and Wattages for Electric Heaters and Elements

Flow Factor and Ohms Law

Electric Heaters and heating elements become hot due to a voltage being pushed through a wire.  The resistance in the wire measured in Ohms creates the heat.  The more resistance the hotter the wire gets. The more voltage pushed through the wire, the hotter the wire gets. Simply the smaller the wire (or the longer the wire run) the more resistance it gives to the voltage passing through.

So as voltage increases the wattage will increase four fold.  As the voltage decreases the wattage will decrease by a factor of 4 as well.  The below table shows the percentage of drop or gain with different applied voltages to a heating element.

Rated at 480 volts the expected wattage % is
575 applied  144%
480 applied  100% (Rated Watttage)
440 applied   84%
240 applied   25%
120 applied    6%

Rated at 277 volts the expected wattage % is
277 applied 100% (rated Wattage)
240 applied  75%
230 applied  69%
208 applied  56%
120 applied  19%


Rated at 240 volts the expected wattage % is
277 applied 133%
240 applied 100% (rated wattage)
230 applied  92%
208 applied  75%
120 applied  25%  (1/4 wattage)


Rated at 120 volts the expected wattage % is
240 Applied  400%  (4 times wattage - Dangerous) 
208 Applied  300%  (3 times wattage - Dangerous)
120 Applied  100%  (rated Wattage)
110 Applied   84%


This is all based on Ohm's Law or I=E/R

Simple Ohms Law equations are:

Amps = WATTS / VOLTS
Watts = VOLTS x AMPS
Ohms = VOLTS / AMPS
Volts = AMPS x OHMS

A Conductor Wire's resistance is constant based on wire size and length.
A heater's watt rating is based on the wire used in the heating element and the voltage applied.
To get a 15 kilowatt rated heater run at 480 volts; a wire with a resistance of 15.4 Ohms is used.
(If there are three elements in the heater, then each is rated at 5 kw and the resistance of the wire would be 46.)

Knowing amps is very important for large immersion heater loads to size contractors, SCR's, Fusing and Thermostats.

Stiebel Eltron Tempra Tankless Water Heaters

Tankless Technology by the Electric Tankless Leader, Stiebel-Eltron and Flow Factor

The Tempra® series has been redesigned completely inside and out - upgraded heavy-duty electronics, a simple single flow sensor design, a hinged cover for easy access, and Tempra Advanced Flow Control for the Tempra® Plus.

The Tempra® continually heats water instantaneously as you require it - and only when you require it. The Tempra® unit completely replaces a conventional tank heater with no disruption to your comfort and hot water needs.

he Tempra® Plus is the most technologically advanced tankless water heater available on the market today.

Tempra Advanced Flow Control is exclusive to the Tempra® Plus and ensures a constant temperature output no matter how great the hot water demand is.

Tempra Advanced Flow Control technology works by automatically adjusting the flow of water to eliminate unpleasant temperature fluctuation.

What that means to you is a consistently satisfying experience every time, all the time!



Electric tank type water heaters are subject to stand-by losses which amount to 15 - 20% of the kWH used. In addition, water in a tank has to be heated hotter than necessary to account for these stand-by losses.

Changing to a tankless system like the Tempra® eliminates these problems and results in typical savings of at least 15 - 20% on the hot water portion of your electric bill.

Set the knob on the front cover and enjoy water temperatures between 86°F (30°C) and 140°F (60°C). Change the desired temperature at anytime. Advanced microprocessor technology ensures that the water temperature never deviates from the set point.

The Tempra® has several advantages over a gas-type tankless water heater. Compared to many similar gas tankless models the Tempra® is less expensive to purchase. Installation is also much simpler and cheaper since it is not necessary to vent a Tempra® to the outside.

The venting that a gas unit requires causes anywhere from a 10 - 20% efficiency reduction from heat escaping out the exhaust pipe. Furthermore, for every cubic foot of gas burned, roughly two cubic feet of air have to be mixed in to create ideal combustion. In a cold climate, this hurts efficiency further.

When a gas unit fires it draws in air around it, heats the water, and then expels warm exhaust outside. Since no house is airtight, this suction action causes a drafting condition where cold air from the outside seeps back in through door cracks and other parts of the house that may not be airtight.

By nature of the design, the Tempra® is nearly 100% efficient; converting 100% of the electrical energy it consumes into heat. All that heat is then transferred to the water - none is lost to the outdoors.

The Tempra® is a tankless water heater system, and is thereby not subject to seismic code. There is no need for preventative construction, as required when using a tank type water heater.

The Tempra® has several temperature and flow sensors which feed their readings into the unit’s proprietary microprocessor control. Heating elements are engaged in stages, achieving the temperature you desire. The Tempra® continually monitors the water temperature it produces.

Bosch / Ariston S series Mini-Tanks

Ariston Mini-Tanks updated to S series - Flow Factor

The new Ariston GL6S Plus electric mini-tank water heaters have just arrived. This water heater is the direct replacement for the recently obsoleted Ariston GL6+ (GL6PLUS).

The main difference between the older GL6+ and the new GL6+S is that the GL6+ came with a power cord that plugged directly into a 120V wall socket while the new GL6+S does not come with a power cord. The GL6+S must be hardwired at the time of installation.

Globaltowne does carry a 6' cord for the Ariston GL6+S

Here are the features of the new GL6+S: 
  • 6-year warranty on tank
  • Glass-lined tank for longer life
  • Mounts on wall or floor
  • Temperature/pressure relief valve included
  • Must be hard-wired to 120V
  • Dimensions: 17.5" x 17.5" x 14 1/2"
  • Recovery at 90 Deg F Rise: 7 GPH
  • 12.5 AMPS and 1500W Heating Capacity
  • Temperature Range: 65 Deg F to 145 Deg F
  • Meets ASHRAE 90.1 Standard
  • Relief Valve = Installed
  • Power cord not included
The new Ariston GL6+S model has many new improvements since it has been upgraded. The mini tank has a new temperature adjustment knob on the front of the unit to raise and lower the temperature from 65 Deg F to 145 Deg F. On the older model you would have to remove the blue oval cover to access the temperature knob.

The Ariston GL6+S model has a new improved thermostat that features a new sensing probe that is attached to the thermostat and inserts into the cavity of the new element so the heater can adjust temperatures quicker and maintain a more consistent heat.

Designed by the world's leading point-of-use water heater manufacturer, the New Ariston GLS series combines Italian design and state of the art features including glass-lined tanks, a 6-year warranty and highest recovery time. 

Installing an Ariston electric mini-tank water heater under the sink puts hot water right where you need it - at the point of use. Lightweight and compact and also the Ariston mini tank heaters are great for those long hot water runs from your tank heater or tankless heater and will shorten the wait time for hot water.

The New Ariston GL2.5S mini-tank electric water heater stores 2.5 gallons of hot water. 

The New Ariston GL4S mini-tank electric water heater stores 4 gallons of hot water. 


Please note: The New Ariston GL2.5S is not the direct replacement for the Ariston GL2.5 as the Ariston Gl2.5S is 10 3/4" in depth and the older Ariston GL2.5 was 10 1/4" deep.  The new Ariston GL4S is not the direct replacement for the Ariston GL4 as the GL4S is 13 1/2" in depth and the older Gl4 was 12 1/4" deep.  The replacement parts for the new Ariston GL2.5S and the GL4S will not work for the older GL2.5 and GL4 mini tank heaters.

  • 6-year warranty on tank 
  • Glass-lined tank for longer life  
  • Mounts on wall or floor 
  • Temperature/pressure relief valve included  
  • Plugs into standard 120 volt outlet
  • Dimensions: GL2.5S-13 3/4" x 13 3/4" x 10 3/4", GL4S-13 3/4" x 13 3/4" x 13 1/2"
  • Recovery at 90 Deg F Rise: 7 GPH 
  • 12.5 AMPS and 1500W Heating Capacity 
  • Temperature Range: 65 Deg F to 145 Deg F  
  • Meets ASHRAE 90.1 Standard
  • Relief Valve = Installed
The new Ariston GL2.5S & GL4S models have many new improvements since they have been upgraded.  The mini tanks have a new temperature adjustment knob on the front of the unit to raise and lower the temperature from 65 Deg F to 145 Deg F.  On the older models you would have to remove the blue oval cover to access the temperature control knob.
