ICaneBud Posted April 5, 2002 Share Posted April 5, 2002 Hi folks Knowing about the inductive load limitation of cheap household timers I went to a grow shop and got a basic rotary one rated 13 (8) A, i.e. 8 Amps inductive load, which should be ample for my 600W HPS system. It lasted two days. :curse: What a piece of shit. I'm not even sure that the contacts gone, I reckon it's just the timer is way too inaccurate. So my advice is don't bother with anything that hasn't got a seperate relay/contactor set up and if you are even vaguely competent with electrics make your own as per >The DOCs excellent instructions< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cedarwood Posted April 8, 2002 Share Posted April 8, 2002 I lost two timers within my first week!!! I had now idea why so just went to my old friends at growell and they sorted it.... But wise cautionary words... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
