    electricity

    watt voltage are you on turtle and these contrller boxes need to complete the circut to work if you have 2 trip boxes the 20 amp will probibaly have a boiler or simalar appliance on its circuit , follow it and see what is on its line (if you can ) the circuit can be bridged but the bridge wiil more likely have to have to be split to reduce the ampage from 20 to 15 if you post what is running on the 20 amp and your voltage my son will be here tomorow and i will confer with him and get the solution for you but we need voltage ok mate .
    sorry about the spelling but took my meds and a bit drowsy (sorry) later turtle
    PS DONT BRIDGE IT WITH A BIT OF WIRE AND A PLUG MATE YOU WILL GET INJURED THAT WIIL NOT BE SAFE try tripping each box and see what goes off then you will know what is on the 20 amp circuirt

    Hey scoBBie!
    Thanks for the reply
    Safety 1st... don't worry, I won't do anything till I'm sure... (after your advise )

    Ok, your 1st question... is it two questions? LOL!
    watt voltage are you on turtle
    Sounds like your using electrical lingo
    Anyways, just in case,
    Voltage: 115 (or the 120v, whatever)
    Watts: I have to check everything that I've got plugged in. I'm running out the door, but I'll do that today, and let you know what's up a little later today.

    Ok, so it's 115v and... I'm yet to give you the info you need on the breakers/watts.

    Thanks sCooBie,

    turtle , you say that some times it works sometimes it doesnt if this is the case then both circuits must be linked and they split when the 20amp power draw kicks in ,so the 20 amp will more probibaly be a boiler or air conditioning or something along those lines , thats why it there if the circuits linked when the 20 amp draw came on then it would trip it could possibaly be overcome by a qualified spark but i dont know enough about 120v or the circuits to advise you on how to overcome this, do you have to use both circuts ?

    Hey Scobbie,

    I checked, and here's the layout:::
    15 AMP circuit --> three wall sockets (6 outlets total)
    20 AMP circuit --> two wall sockets (4 outlets total)

    Here's what I have hooked-up:
    15AMP::::
    4x 43Watt CFLs for the mother cabinet (only one turned one @ the moment)
    The NutraMist (200W)
    50CFM fart fan (about 40 watts max, I think)


    20AMP:::
    400W MH
    90CFM+50CFM fart fans (100W max between both)
    Small CD radio (??? 50 watts? the thing is tiny)
    550CFM Dayton (100W max) + small 8" desk fan (100W max)
    My laptop (about 300W... big laptop),
    the UPS for the laptop,
    Chargers (digital camera, PDA)


    That's it... Interesting side note:::
    I've got two kinds of X10 relays... typeA is a three-pronged module that you plug into the wall, and then plug your appliance into the module.

    TypeB is an in-line module that I had to make the electrical harness for it.
    typeB is a heavy duty, inductive load 15Amp module.

    All typeA modules work fine anywhere I plug them in (15A or 20A), but typeB modules have to be in the same circuit as the controller.

    Thanks Scobbie,
