Hi,
I have a Telo Type: 1712-80-17 electric sauna heater. It is a 240V 8kW producing model. It is connected to my house via a heavy duty cable using 8-2 wire. The sauna in the 240V 1 Phase operation is rated for 33.3 Amps. I placed a 50 Amp circuit breaker on my house's breaker panel outside with the wires going from there to a outlet box mounted near the panel. When I use the sauna, I just plug it in and it has worked great for 2 years but now the sauna isn't heating up. When I took it apart, the internal electrics were clean but one of three of the sauna's heating coils were corroded. I cleaned it and it worked but only for another 2 months. I want to replace the coils but they are not easy to find. Each element is 2670W. I am wondering if I can use the screw in water tank immersion coil elements as a replacement. Any ideas? Some noted differences, the coils on the sauna are insulated and the immersion coils are not.
Thanks
