What does the watt rating on stove top coil burners mean?
The old coils are 1250W if your supply is 240Volts (normal USA/Canada single-phase), and 840W if your supply is 208Volts (usually from 3-phase power.)
The new coils are not the same power rating - they are 1500W on 240V and 1130W on 208V, so 120% - 134% more powerful on 240 &amp; 208V, respectively. That may be a problem if the range controls and wiring are designed only for the lower wattage elements it came with. Or it may not be a problem if the range has the capacity to run them safely (I recall getting a &quot;heavy duty canning element&quot; for an 8&quot; burner that both had a stronger coil support, more elevation from the stove surface, and more wattage, which the appliance store listed as being a compatible upgrade for my range.)
