5-6years ago my grannys houe we got electrician to wire up a new cooker and when everithing was done and he turn the cooker on HE BLOWED THE FUSEBOX...becose house was old and they were aluminium wires...they are the most useless things ever...so end of the they we had to spend prob round 5000e to get full house re wired.just to be in the safe side...
best things for you would go some electricians or DIY forums...
good luck with your grow:thumbsup:Dexter007 Reviewed by Dexter007 on . Amp question for you electric pros??? So I came across a power cost chart and it mentioned that you shouldn't draw more than 75% of the rated amps of the circuit. So here is my question- my grow space has a 16 amp circuit. I have 130w of cfl which draws about 1.5 amps. A blower that draws 1.2 amps at full power. And a 1k HPS lamp that draws 9 amps. A couple smaller fans that probably draw another amp. So that's about 12-13 amps that I will be drawn. Is drawing 13 amps from a 16 amp circuit too risky? Anyone know an Rating: 5
