Hello all. I am an electrician by trade that can give advice and answers to any home or grow room electrical question you have. Fire away.
It wont matter if you switch the wires because you will still have ballast running on those circuits. What is happening is those circuits are sharing a Common wire a "nuetral" wire and is givin you interference. You can remedy this by using a circuit that isn't shared by your tv. Or run 2 new circuits out of your panel. You may try even plugging your tv into a different outlet. Good luck.Born into an electrician family (1951) I'm using two 600W digital hps ballasts. I found a couple useless circuits and tapped into them, running two circuits up to my grow to accommodate these . . . a different 15a circuit per ballast. One of the lights "on" causes interference on my damn TV, and it's getting old . . . just static bars, but still.
I know which circuit. Do ya suppose it'd make any diff if I reversed the polarity(wires)?
Any idea if this would endanger the ballast?
You just call your provider and ask tell them you need another service on your property. Some providers don't let multiple meters on the same property if it is not a different address.what do i have to do to get a second meter put in? we have multiple units on the same property and i want to put 2 of them on a separate meter. thank you.
Because the electrons are jumping across the air to turn your tips brown.why are the tips of my leaf turning brown u know??
Is there a how to on "how to" install sub panel? I'm looking to install a sub in my grw room but do not have too much electrical experience. Can I steal a romex run from the neighboring bedroom outlet that runs to my main 200amp circuit box in the garage?? The romex run attaches to a 15amp circuit in the main box. Do I need to convert this 15amp into whatever size I wish the sub panel to be. For example do I change that 15amp into a 60amp if I want the sub panel to be capable of 60amps. Or how does that work???
No. Please do not even try this.Is there a how to on "how to" install sub panel? I'm looking to install a sub in my grw room but do not have too much electrical experience.

If I run a 600w light and ballast, a 400 w and a inline fan, regular oscialting fan, and the AC will kick on here in the summer, is that too mucht o run in my spare bedroom in my brand new hosue, thanks for the reply..
1600 watts is ok to run on a regular house circuit but if you have an ac, tv, and pc, I would consider running a new circuit. Or move the tv and pc to a new outlet with an extension cord from another room.I'm planning on moving soon and will probably be running 1600w of lighting (4x 400w). Is this too much to run in a room that also has a PC and TV (and possibly an AC)? If so, would it be safe to run a cord from an adjacent bathroom to power half the lights?
fast: I have a 12VDC Comair Rotron Major (235cfm) (http://skycraftsurplus.com/index.asp...OD&ProdID=1353) with terminal connectors. The specs are 12V 2.26A.
My question is, how can I power this thing? I've looked at thrift stores and Wally world and the best I can find is 12V 1.3A. I know that I cannot go over 12V, but can I use a power supply with a lower amperage like the 1.3A or does it have to be equal or greater than the rating on the fan? Most 12V AC/DC adapters I've found are well below the 2.26A specs, close to 600-800mA. I'd like to avoid ordering a new one since it's likely to be so expensive. Any ideas?
