Converting From 3-Wire to 4-Wire Circuit

[floyd]

Please help me out with a electrical question. I am looking at a used electric heater for the shop. It requires 15kW, 208v, 3PH, 41.5 amps and has a 4-wire circuit plug. Please keep in mind that I am an electricity rock.

How much work is required/how much should I expect to pay to convert my 3-wire circuit over?

Here are some pics of what I have.

Many thanks!

This is not 4 u. It's not for common residential service.

You need 3 phase power for that equipment.

As said, the one you first linked to (Fostoria model FES-1520-3A, Grainger stock # 3UD73) is 208 3-phase.... which you probably dont want.

A similar 15 KW heater for 240 VAC, single pase is the Fostoria model FES-1524-1A, Grainger stock number 3LY27:
