between 30 amp Loads Sometimes there are not enough circuit breakers for new 240 volt 3 HP irrigation motor. Use timer to toggle between 240 volt loads, and set timer to schedule irrigation pump. When pump is off, the water heater receives power. 240Volt circuit can be cut off by turning off one hot wire. Put water heater on NC normally open terminal, so water heater is ON when pump is Off.

volt Timers with automatic voltage detection do not have dip switches, and will detect 277 volt. GM 40: Set dip switches for 277Volt. Dip switches must be set before power is applied to timer  Wiring is identical to 120Volt, with Hot and Neutral. 277 volt is a derative of some commercial 3-phase 440 volt services, and does not apply to residential 120-240 volt services.

Buy: Omron-DC-Power-Relay Resource: DC relays Do not mix different gauge wires under same screws. Smaller wire comes loose, causing sparking and high heat and fire. Do not mix solid wire and stranded wire under same screw. |

volt or 240 Volt Off Peak Wire GM40 timer to toggle water heater between 120Volt and 240Volt. Wiring inside water heater is not changed Elements and thermostats will work with 120 or 240 This will not work for Whirlpool energy smart water heater, electronic water heaters, heat pumps, tankless, etc Use this technique for peak electric prices. When prices are peak, set water heater to operate at 120 volts for slower heating. Tank stays hot, but hot water does not recover quickly. Element rated for 4500 watts @ 240Volt, will consume 25% or 1125 watts @ 120Volt and heat water 1/4th as fast as 240 volt. When peak price ends, resume 240Volt operation for faster heat recovery inside tank. Resource Off-peak water heater options |
