Thanks so much for this incredibly helpful thread. I read through some of it but there’s a looot here, so I apologize if my question has already been answered.
I’m looking for the easiest way to increase the electrical capacity in my grow room. Last winter, I was running 2000w HPS in my flower room and 1000w MH in veg, plus fans, cooling etc. I was sharing a 30 amp circuit with my washer for the two HPS lights, and running extension cords every which way for the rest of it.
I understand that I would almost double my capacity if I ran my grow room at 240v. What’s the easiest way to accomplish this? Is there a transformer I could buy that plugs into my regular outlet that my washer goes into (30 amp circuit), but would step up to 240 volts? All of my gear has standard US plugs that fit into standard grounded outlets. I’ve done some googling but I’m still confused. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Cheers!
