could a household socket take 3 600 watt ligts

Could a uk household socket take three 600 watt lights a fan and a carboun filter without tripping the electric?

 

[somebody041]

no. not even close

 

[mrdizzle]

NEVER EVER EVER

Dont try it. Unless you want the fire deparment at your home.

What needs 2 be done 2 the electrics

If you are even questioning that it sounds like you have alot more reading to do here before you attempt to burn your house down and go to prison. READ READ READ Everything you want and need to know is right here.

You could run the 3 600's on 240v on a 20 amp double pole breaker with say a 10 AWG wire.

You could use the 110 outlets that you already have in your room for JUST the fan and carbon filter.

Theres a shower in the same room does that have 10 awg wire

What does a shower have to do with any of this? If I was you I would not attempt to change a light bulb.

you will break your breaker for sure europe is still on 60 hzs and that is not enough to run those ballast's. your shower does not effect your volts (electricity). you need to run these on seperate outlets maybe two on one. but the outlets need to be connected to seprate breakers. It is like plugging in 3 microwaves into one outlet (wont work). Good Luck

A shower? 10 AWG wire? LOL

ohhhh man....

billy, you shouldnt have a problem running one light off a power socket over here , why not consider upping the wattage of your light instead of running 3 off one socket ?

you need to know alot about electricity before you try the re-wiring mentioned, and it does seem like you dont know where to start , basically if you plugged them all in you'd most probably blow the fuse for that circuit, (cutting out the power for your floor maybe) or start a small fire either at the socket or somewhere in the ballast(s). . . . .

NOT GOOD

personally I would just run 1 light of a higher wattage, (1000w) seeing as apparently you think your space will be able to deal with the heat from 3 lights ruinning at once. . . .
the heat from one would be considerably less, and alot less likely to fuse, or burn.
Take Care, And remember ASK BEFORE YOU DO , thats the best rule for this,
someone will always helps here!
Peace

hahahaha i think he meant the plug in a shower or bathroom, its 20amps, but not 220v

You can shut off all the breakers in your house, turn em on one by one and check what lights/sockets run on which breakers. You would probably have to break up your grow, a light in each room.

If you are in an actual house, hire an electrician to do whatever work is needed, tell him you are about to run the baddest surround sound gaming setup known to man, or whatever. Much more research, thought and information needed.

Another thing is, you really want to look at the circuit breakers and make sure they are actually 20A, some places cheat and use 15A or worse.

got a mr steam generator under my shower. 240v.
