Default 24 VDC appliances?

Fatal Error.
The heating element is resistive. 120V 2KW element is approx 7 ohms. Reduce
voltage to 24 v and current draw drops to 3.5 amps. Power is not a constant.


I don't recall anyone suggesting to run a 2kW, 120V heating element
directly off of 24V. The question was to run an inverter on 24V to
make 120V, or to obtain a 2kW, 24V element (0.288 ohms).
