ha5mth Posted July 15, 2002 Share Posted July 15, 2002 Ive just built a cabinet to go with my newly purchased 400W hps. I know sod all about electrical stuff, but i know its pretty bad to overload a single electrical socket with loads of extension plugs etc. So, my problem is i only have one electrical socket in my attic. So if i put a 4 plug extension onto that, will that be ok to run the bulb, two air pumps, and a fan or two? cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julian Cope Posted July 15, 2002 Share Posted July 15, 2002 I ran my first set up off a four wayer in a single socket and had no trouble at all. I had a 400 watt light, an air pump and a fan running for months and not once did i get a problem. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jontz Posted July 15, 2002 Share Posted July 15, 2002 Don't forget to spend some money on a decent circuit breaker.. It'll be cheaper than a new roof! - Don't take any chances... happy growing - p.s. - Is this the stealth cabinet? Sounds great, let us all know how it's going when you're up & running.. I'd love to know as is my only real option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milluv a tokeman Posted July 15, 2002 Share Posted July 15, 2002 Your 4way will have a 13amp fuse so the max power will be roughly 3kw that will give you plenty scope but I would check out the pinned topic on this board on relays by The d.o.c. it will save you a time clock or two in the long run. Love & Peace. M.A.T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ha5mth Posted July 15, 2002 Author Share Posted July 15, 2002 Nice one. I'll wire it up tonight, take some pics and put em on this if i can. Yeah it is supposed to be a stealth cabinet, but it looks like a wardrobe for a midget to be honest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
