Amps = Watts/Volts = 4.16. The smallest breaker in a house panel is 15 amps. You will need a 2 pole 15 amp breaker. On a # 14 wire you can load that circuit up to 12 amps.ou need a 50 amp breaker for 120 volt operation, though 120 volt operation is not advised. You need a 30 amp breaker for 240 volt operation.      As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.
1 The process involves the ice melting to water, the water heating from 0 Â°C to 100 Â°C, then the water boiling to steam.  The energy absorbed will be the heat of fusion + the change in temperature of the liquid + the heat of vaporization, qfusion + qheating + qvaporization.
There are several fundamental physical properties of snow and ice that modulate energy exchanges between the surface and the atmosphere. The most important properties are the surface reflectance (albedo), the ability to transfer heat (thermal diffusivity), and the ability to change state (latent heat).
