I have a 40l Quick hot water tank, heated either from engine or a 1200W/ 230v element.
I would like to be able to heat water at anchor using my 1kW generator. Is there a relatively straightforward means of reducing the element's current draw so the genny can cope? I'm not fussed about heating time or electrical efficiency.
The alternative is to replace the element with a 500W version which would be disadvantageous when on shore power.
