electrical issue???????

Ok i have two extension cords hooked up to one outlet running 1000w hps small window fan, space heater, and exhuast fan for light, and everytime the space heater kicks on the light shuts off!! Is this because of the outlet or the extension cord? I jus went to the hardware store and got a heavy duty 12 gauge cord, ( I think i got a 16 gauge at first idk, it was the cheapest one tho so probably) should this do the trick??

sounds like your overloading the breaker. i'd put the 1000 watter on one plug and the others on a different breaker. also, not a good idea to have long runs of extension cords for equipment using a lot of watts. you might want to check your box to see how many amps your breakers are.

holy shit... 1st.. thats very likely overloading the circuit...

the 1KW light draws about 10 amps... (really like 9.8 or something)... if you look on your space heater, it probably draws more power than your light... some of them are 1800watts... the circuit that you are plugging the cord into - do you know what size circuit breaker it uses (15amp, 20amp, 30amp?)

anytime you have to run a 1Kw on an extension cord, its always best to use the 12gauge... it may not be necessary, but for drawing that much current for so many continuous hours, smaller wires will start to heat up - which is wasted energy.

you will probably have to get another extension cord for the space heater, and go plug it into a different circuit...

Like bloodshot said, HOLY SHIT!!!
Not cool, you really really really, seriously shouldn't ever use more than 80% of a breakers capacity. Right off the bat a 1000w light has about a 10 amp spike at startup, so use that and maybe a fan on one circuit and get that space heater on a seperate one asap.
DO NOT RUN YOUR OP ALL ON ONE CIRCUIT!!!!
most breakers in homes only handle 15 amps before they trip, if they're cheaper breakers they might not trip, which sounds awesome, until your house goes up in flames. Seriously, address this issue right fucking now!!!!!
If you have to have your high power devices on an extension, it is a good thing you got the 12 gauge, but it will not solve your load issue.
For the love of all things good and holy, please fix this immediately.
Not trying to freak you out, tripping breakers may not seem that serious, but i'm telling you it is, i've been to ops where the breakers were taking twice the safe load and not tripping, let me assure you, you would have to be "tripping" to let this go on any longer.
Good luck!!!

ok i will fix immediatley. jus hooked the 1000w up yesterday so hasnt been like that for long but yea i will switch it up. I jus need to plug the light in one outlet with the 12 gauge cord, then all the other shit into a completely diff. outlet???

yes, but make sure the other outlet is not on the same circuit...

you can test this by plugging in your light only - and flipping the circuits off until you find the one the light is on.... with only that circuit off - go plug in the heater to whatever outlet that will power it - as long as there isnt already 1000 watts on that circuit too

alright thanks man, i will do that and c how it works. R plugs in the same room usually on the same breaker?? should it be in a diff. room??

same room is usually the same breaker... but its safest to test it.... otherwise your breaker will trip (hopefully) and your lights will be off and you wont know it...
