For your electrician

  • Run either a dedicated 50 A circuit on 230 V single-phase, or a 3 × 16 A circuit on 400 V three-phase
  • Verify panel has spare capacity for a 50 A circuit before quoting (older panels often do not)
  • Install an isolation switch near the sauna location
  • Connect to the heater per the Harvia wiring diagram

If your panel doesn't have capacity for the 50 A single-phase circuit, your electrician may recommend a panel upgrade or the three-phase option (where available) as an alternative.
