trillions of atoms said:120v a 1000w hps ballast would only consume about 9.3-9.6 amps and at 240v it would consume around 4.5 amps.
600w 120v = 4.5 to 5 amps depending on ballats for both....less on 240v.
ok trillions i got the exact 8k watt lighting controller minus the dryer plug
so my question is can i use a 40 amp 2 pole breaker and what gauge wires do i need.
also im going with 4 600 s im scrapping the 4 1000 idea. im scared of alerting the electric company
and im not stealing power. so my only option is go three thousand and just pay my bill on time. if i new for a
fact that i could get away with 4000 to 5000 watts indefinitely believe me i would. im just not sure.
