Hello everyone!
So I pulled an electric heater out of an AC unit and have it wired so that a plug from a 120V outlet is connected to it's two wires. I have two questions.
1) The resistive, 9.3 ohm heater only has two leads which I have connected to the hot leads from the cord that runs from the outlet. What do I do with the grounding wire? I am assuming I connect it to the metal casing that the heater will go in.
2) I need to install a fuse for safety reasons. I can't find any fuses that I can install in line with the wire. If you have any experience with this or any suggestions I would greatly appreciate it. The closest thing I have found is a fuse switch box.
Thank you for your time!
