yeah that was what I thought...but you know how much mis information there is out there from people that don't actually grow etc etc...just wanted to clarify with the heads that know.

Cheers

Has any one actually looked at thier plasma tv .. On average a 104 cm plasma tv runs at 400watts. So in this day and age with all the gadgets power consumption that is high is becoming the norm.. Power always spikes at night as this is the peak period. As for power spiking during the day this is usually due to ac

Could I run a fan and a 600w from the same power point?

I.e. not the same socket...but use one plug for light and one plug for fan from the two power sockets.

 

[Buck123]

i would… 10amp socket… 2.5amp you said for a 600w lamp supa?

 

[Supa smoka]

But since we built our new house and the new inverter gens on the market , i have been getting my power from mains, solar and generators

 

[Supa smoka]

Yes you should be able to run a fan depending on the wattage of it with a 600 w on the same point. a 600w is roughy 2.5amps.. But remember this is running .. Start up draws more so you have to consider that aswell. Also depends on how old your wiring and fuses are. I can run a 600w and 400w off one point but i have new wiring and fuses

I'll be running solar for everything...whole roof will be solar...does that change things at all??? again, people say if you have solar they won't see the spikes...but with a small 600w set up, they wouldn't see shit anyway.

 

[Supa smoka]

Only thing is a double power point is not 2 lines of wire to each point . its one line split in 2. You would be better off with 2 singles cause a double is still 10 amps

 

[Supa smoka]

Depends if your running to batteries then to a inverter. If running straight to inverter it can only draw power whilst the sun is powering the cells..

 

[Supa smoka]

Solar is the future for hydro i believe. If your drawing in say over 10000 watts form the sun and storing it then it goes to say a 6kw inverter which is 6000w why would you even use mains for anything.. Only thing is the batteries are an eyesore and they can let you down.. So you run off solar and have a power switcher to change it when your solar either fucks up or gets low.

 

[Supa smoka]

And you can also add your genny power to the system so you have a back up for blackouts or solar failures

hogbreath last night epic… that is all...

 

[Supa smoka]

and when it switches ya power keeps running so its not like you have a shut down of power when switchin . It just draws from another device before switching of the solar or generator supply line...

 

[Supa smoka]

Gotta love the hogs breath

 

[Buck123]

im done with it for a few months..

 

['ome Grown]

hate hogs breath those cunts.

 

[Supa smoka]

Yeah what happened

 

[Supa smoka]

I like lone star too but some cunt burnt it down too the ground so no lone star for a while.. They have taken away the chared remains and bout to start rebuilding

 

['ome Grown]

Yeah what happened
