| Heater model | Harvia SW60E |
| Heater power | 6.0 kW |
| Voltage | 240V single-phase |
| Breaker | 30A double-pole, dedicated circuit |

For your electrician
- Run a dedicated 30A double-pole circuit on 240V single-phase
- Use 8 AWG copper conductor (10 AWG copper acceptable for runs under 90 ft from panel)
- Hardwire to the heater per the Harvia wiring diagram included with the unit
- Install an isolation switch near the sauna for service access
- Outdoor installations: use direct-burial-rated cable in conduit, buried 18-24 inches deep per local code
- House the control unit in a dry/weatherproof location — never inside the sauna cabin
The Harvia heater nameplate references 230V (CE/EU standard). It runs identically on US 240V split-phase service — voltage tolerance is well within manufacturer spec. The 2-Person uses the same heater as the 3-Person.
