the black is the ground, and the white is positive (if it was wired correctly) The exposed one is usually a neutral wire.
Any word on these digital timers fdd? Know anything about them?
digital what? who? where?

Been doing wiring south of the border or something? In America, black is ALWAYS hot on AC and common on DC. I won't go into the rest of it.the black is the ground, and the white is positive (if it was wired correctly) The exposed one is usually a neutral wire.

Bud, you are in over your head on this idea.
Out of curiosity, are you using that timer to its full capabilities? Or just because its digital? I use one like that on my fish tank to control different lights at different times. But just curious about the way you are using it.I have a Dedicated Breaker to my grow room (closet) I use a junction box and run the power using a heavy duty extinction cord from the AC outlet . On the outlet I have a 30 amp breaker I did all the wiring with the guidance of a experienced person. I use dimmers to control the fan speed also controlling the temp. the setup is sweet and was cheep doing it my self of yopu have any questions I'll be happy to answer as best I cam.
200 amps for a house that is 2000 square feet or smaller should be plenty of capacity, even if it is an all electric home. The problem is always distribution of power from the panel and balancing the load on the varios circuits.when a house is advertised with 200 amp service....does that mean i dont have to do any upgrading?
this thread is scary.
I am an electricain by trade and, yes, much of this is scary sounding. Sometimes we all need to learn the hard way. I have been trying to figure out a good FAQ section to write on AC theory and application. Maybe I will get my ass moving on it.... Tommorow

okay so when i open up my breaker box....and i see those black switches...what are those?
breakers or circuits? or both?
Before you burn the place down, buy fire insurance.
120 volts X 10 amperes = 1200 watts
2 (1000w lights) / 120 volts = 16.66 amps, + ballast draw of 1 amp + misc. stuff = about 20 amps.
Apartment bedroom circuits are 15 amps.
You might pull this off if you use two different hot wires and different neutral wires.
Short answer, GET SOME HELP!!!!
Seriously, please for you own safety. Get some professional help.
those are the things that will kill you or burn your house to the ground.
