QSC 8.3 Engine Block Heaters – Voltage?

[JTJG]

Hello!  I have two QSC 8.3 engines and am seeing repeated failures of the block heaters.  Tehy are wired to the 240 Volt side of my panel on my boat.  If I look up the part numbers online, the images all show 120 Volt plugs.  I wonder if the boat OEM made a mistake…does anyone know (of can point me to the spec) the voltage spec on the Block Heaters?

THANK YOU!

The coolant block immrsion style heaters Cummins supplies are (IMO) not safe and unreliable..  Buy stick-on  OIL pan heaters–120V  250W for each engine . Run them 24-7 with breaker to turm them off when not needed
