How many amps does a 5000W heater use?
It is dependent on the voltage source. If it a single or three phase powerthree phase powerThe conductors between a voltage source and a load are called lines, and the voltage between any two lines is called line voltage. The voltage measured between any line and neutral is called phase voltage. For example, for a 208/120 volt service, the line voltage is 208 Volts, and the phase voltage is 120 Volts.https://en.wikipedia.org › wiki › Three-phase_electric_powerThree-phase electric power - Wikipedia supply. It works out to 5000w/360 = 13.8 amps.

What size breaker do I need for a 5000 watt 240 volt heater?
More likely you would be direct wiring such a heater, so probably 240V with a 30A breaker (30A * 240V = 7200W) This is in the neighborhood of a typical electric clothes dryer. Bonus sub answer, you need to use #10 wire or larger to wire this heater.
