[RE-wrenches] 1/2 wave loads

[Jay]

As I understand it, Heater loads are the main issue. 

Toasters, toaster ovens, hair dryers, aquarium/terraium heaters etc. 

But I defer to others that know more. 

And I’m double checking to see if the information that I received is accurate. 

And of course assuming it is correct, is there anything to be done about it?
