That seems very unusual. You are in North America, right? Yes, if you could find a 30A breaker to go in the main panel, that would suffice. | |

| May 23, 2016 at 22:36 | comment | added | Ray Hess | I have two breaker panels side by side one has red wires that are hot 30 am breakers and the other panel has black hot lines and white common wire and ground wires 30 am breakers. The breakers are hard to find, they don't make them. I was going to run a red hot wire from the first panel to the red line on the water heater and a black line and ground from the second panel to the water heater. So that is not going to work? From the main panel I have a 100 am breaker and two separate 60 am breakers. The previous owner had a line run from one of the 60 am breakers to the washer and dryer. | |
