Correct.Awesome! Thanks for the help! So I don't need to do anything special to adjust the wattage down from 700w? I am assuming circuits simply automatically adjust the wattage according to the resistance and voltage I put into it Is that Correct?
No, it needs to be rated for only 3W.And my follow up question would be: If I get a 5 ohm 30w resistor and add a .5 ohm resistor in series, would the .5 ohm resistor also need to be rated at 30w?
No, it needs to be rated for only 3W.
The problem with your circuit is, that nearly all power is disspated in the resistor and only a small amount of power in the heating elements, in other words, there is nearly no heating effect where you want it. If about 0.5 W per heater is sufficient, the circuit will be O.K. Otherwise, you'll want to design a heating element with higher resistance, that get's a larger share of the total power.
Alright, So I would need to decrease the resistance from the resistors to increase the wattage per heater.
And, correct me if i'm wrong, but since 30 gauge wire maxes out at 0.86 amps (according to this chart: American Wire Gauge table and AWG Electrical Current Load Limits with skin depth frequencies).
How would I get the majority of the wattage passing through the heating elements without going over that amperage restriction?
