1 watt-hour = 3.412 BTUs. Note the time component.
So, if the element is rated at 1250 watts and is getting the rated voltage and
operates for an hour, it will produce about 4250 BTUs. Actual BTUs produced
will
depend on how much time the element is switched on, which is typically
controlle
While we're on the subject of electricity, I got a question about heating
elements: in an electric water heater element, is there an easy way to
predict the BTU output produced, based on the rated wattage?
