Proffesional Electrical Advice Needed
Hello again everyone. Well I am happy to say that construction of my grow room is completed. I have one final problem to face that I have not encountered before and I am by no means an electrical expert. When I power up my grow room everything runs fine for a short time then the equipment I have installed ends up throwing the breaker switch and shutting down half of the house. Does anyone know of a way to correct this issue that I am having? Here is what is running in my grow room when the power fails. 400watt HPS light w/ external ballast, 180cfm exhaust fan, 2 wall mounted fans, light timer and a small electronic pest detterant device. now these devices are plugged into a surge protector which is plugged into another surge protector and then the wall. Any advice would help as I did'nt see this one coming. Thanks alot. and peace.
P.S. I should probaly add that my home is historical dating to over 100 years old. When I run my clothes dryer alone the power flickers minorly. Just wanted to add this so you know what I'm facing.Zero Revolt Reviewed by Zero Revolt on . Proffesional Electrical Advice Needed Hello again everyone.

Man that sucks dick big time.
You arent even running that much juice.
Odds are you are gonna have to run a lot of different extention cords to other outlets on different circuits.
I have the same problem, just newer home...
I have to run an electric extension cord to another outlet in the garage.
You may have to run several....sounds like you might be on a 10 amp circuit.
