CEC 2018-Section 62: Wiring the baseboard heat in a one bedroom house

In this video, I use the 2018 Canadian Electrical Code and show you the circuitry for three baseboard heater circuits. Please see the previous videos to learn how to lay out and calculate the breaker and wire size.

You can not use 14/2 gauge on a 20 amps, you need 12/2

[@buzzloudly]

You can use 14g wire on a 20A breaker? I thought it had to 12g minimum?

A 20A D/P breaker for 3000W of heaters? Did you assume there is a diversity factor?

I did the other way around, home run to baseboard to Thermostat then from same baseboard to another baseboard to second thermostat. Is there away to fix it without redoing the job ?!

Hi Deanna do you know if the new code will apply for next year ?

Hi, the 2021 CEC follows the same process. Check out rule 62-114 Subrules 7 and 8

[@JohnNorton86]

I thought you would need to use 10/2 for a heating circuit on a 30 amp braker.
