Octupus,Yeah, that is what I had to. Also, I got the piss reference..LOL.. I just wanted to be safer than sorry. At one time I had a Associate Degree in Electronics ( I ended up getting a B.S in MIS).. You dont hear about people burning down their house, because they fry their computers and burn them. LOL ha ha.. I guess I am just paranoid, I really worry about being at work and having 800 Watts of light going on in a cabinet.. Better safe than sorry.. I feel alot better knowing I have it all on a 20 AMP ircuit.. My future grow is in my office in a sliding closet.. and there is all kinds of stuff plugged in there... I didnt want to fry up my house..
SeedKing72 Reviewed by SeedKing72 on . Electricity, Current, Overloade circuit I have a S51 400 Watt ballast. It says it current is 4.0. So this telling me that the ballast is 480Watts/120Volts=4.0 AMP Current. I needed an extentions cord that was rated at 15AMP and is 12 Gauge Now I also have 5 2-40 Watt Flourescent fixtures in there for a total of 400 Watts.. So I am assuming that is a current of 400Watts/120volts/3.3 AMP (Am I doing this math right). The fixture has nothing on it to tell me the current. So I am now at what 4.0 + 3.3 = 7.3 and the circuit it is Rating: 5
