Good planning, Scott. The 600W heater # XH77FR pulls about 5.2 amps while running, with an 11.4A startup surge, so Xtreme recommends a 15A breaker. That gives you safe overhead without nuisance tripping. If you’re running more than one heater, it’s best to give each its own breaker.
Are you wiring this for a battery bay or a plumbing compartment?
