Inkbird with Klima

[Caly]

Hi All,

 

I’m going to fit some Klima underfloor heating matts in the tent, does anyone know if I can use an inkbird to run it off safely? Thanks

What's the wattage draw of the Klima underfloor heating?

[BilgePump]

A 1m² Klima mat pulls 150w

 

[Caly]

150w per square meter, I’m using 2m squared 

[NezA]

You should be fine then as long as all the wiring is up to scratch. The inkbird will handle 300w without batting an eyelid. I run a 1500w oil filled radiator off of mine through the winter.

isn't 2msq 600w though?

no, 2 x 150 = 300.

no, 2 x 150 = 300.

2m x 2m = 4 square metres

4 x 150 = 600

Yes but he said 2 meters squared which is the same as 1 meter squared plus 1 meter squared.

No it's not :-)

1m squared + 1m squared is 2 square metres.

2m squared is 2m x 2m = 4 square metres.

There's a difference that catches people out all the time.

Me included at times :-)

try typing this into google:

 

1m2 + 1m2

You're hard work you are :-)

Squared means multiplied by itself.

2 x 2 = 4

Not 2 square metres.

To actually solve this I’m using 2x 1 square meters separately, my tent floor space is 2.4x1.2 so it should be 150w for each.

 

 I hope I have this right

I could say the same about you

 

Science and engineering both say you are wrong.

 

This is an English problem, anyone using the notation you describe to mean what you are saying is doing it wrong.

Turns out Caly is doing it right!

@latigid aikon Definitely a language thing :-)
