Yea I gotta 200$ quote. But as with the hydro, if I can understand it.. I'll be fine. Atm, I don't lol.. So of course I'm not going to do anything.Call an electrician. Your buddy doesn’t sound like he really knows what’s going on. 30A single pole or double, for what? The 2 lights are 16 amps. That’s one 20 amp circuit. The rest can be on another 20A. You have 3 spaces for breakers. That’s 2 12/2 NM-B cables. But there’s more to it. Don’t burn the house down. Call a electrician.
Yes.. I will study today to understand what you said lol.. I somewhat get it.. But I'm a stoner so I need assistance.... I'm sure I'll ask more tonight or tomorrow. Thanks so much manHousehold wiring is parallel. Series wiring is like the old type of Christmas tree lights one burns out the rest down the line don’t work.
2 /20amp breakers One hot one common/White on each to each bank of outlets 12 gauge wire would be sufficient unless it’s a long run. I would plug one light into each circuit since they pull the most power divide the rest up accordingly.
220v two hot wires no common but needs a ground either through the conduit Or a separate green wire in some cases if conduit is not used. Hope this helps you out a little.
I would hook up lighting control boards directly to the circuits at 40 or 60 amps. Whichever they're designed for. Run 4 lamps per run. https://www.titancontrols.net/shop/...ght-240v-controller-with-dual-trigger-cords_1
Keep it safe and legal.
Lol yea.. But I havnt done any of it... Huge difference in pondering and asking questions VS installing low rated equipment.Its hard to imagine a scenario that more accurately portrays why someone should not do this. You have already described mulitple things you want to do that can potentially burn your house down.
You could literally kill yourself or burn down a structure. If saving the money is that important to you at least go on you tube and get some illustrated instructions from someone that at least has some knowledge. You can very simply figure out how amperage by taking the total amount of watts you will be using divided by voltage will give you amperage. My understanding is an 80 percent rule for a breaker. Never exceed 80 percent of the rating for a prolonged time. So take your total amount of watts divide by probably 120 volts would be best. And you need 3 wires for 120 volts. Positive, Neutral and Ground. If you want to figure out the gauge of the wire needed you can search the web for the NEC and use the numbers from there. Also you are not going to get a 30k electrical job done with just 1k of materials. The copper and steel have went thru the roof since the beginning of the year. Turn off the main before you start taking the deadmans cover off the panel as well.Now I can test amperage :) this should help lol
I hate saying I learn from YouTube but I've been studying main/sub wiring and breaker wiring. I wont be taking the panel off for a while. My home has a main outside I can throw, my building does not, yet my building has a sub and my home does not lol...You could literally kill yourself or burn down a structure.

Do you want to find out what kind of panel you have appropriate breaker, and then just add up your combined amperage get the appropriately sized breaker. Why are you want is Called 10 Awg . Get copper stranded That is in fact what the total combined antthat is in fact what the total combined amps can carry. Everything you have should have either AmbridgEverything you have should have either Amperage minimum circuit ampacity labled on the boiler platesI would like to run the entire 4x8 off one breaker if possible. I will be adding it to the left pole on my breaker. I know just enough about electricity get my myself killed atm. I had a buddy tell me what to do, hes an electrician. Yet hes busy and im not trying to give him all my details anyways or have him come over and check it out if ya know what I mean. Anyways. . I have 2 - 1000w HIDS, 1 window unit, 1 magnet air pump, one water pump and 2-8 inch fans, one inlet and out outlet. I dont have to have fans inside the tent, there will be plenty of air circulation and im scrogging and having long vegs.
My buddy told me just for the lights and window unit to run 10awg and a 30amp breaker. I only need like 25 ft of the cable, yet lowes has so many choices. Hes working so i figured id type it all out here. Im going to run the line under the floor and up to the room. Half of the wall outlets in that room do not work and I dont know why. There was a house fire a few years ago and im pretty sure something is still capped off, plus when i bought the place half of this bedroom being used didnt have working outlets. . .and half of the attached bathrooms outlets and ceiling fan have no power.
The 2x4 grow room is currently on the SE 15 amp breaker. When i add all this to it. . lol it tripss both grow rooms. I want both systems on separate breakers just encase one system fails im dont lose everything.
My panel has a slot on the left available, ill throw the main outside, and the main inside, take the front panel off, Install the Breaker from any lowes that you all tell me to buy, and then ill run the wire under the floor, because attic has no access(modular), pull it to the room and mount it up high away from my hydro system lol. .
If i didnt have 240 this would be easier for me, meaning i get it all if its one wire and 120v, i can calculate the amps, and understand how a single breaker works. yet when the breakers are linked together and theres 4 wires, or just one 3 strand wire linking them. . idk, i just want it to be simple for me. I dont want to be wiring up something I dont understand.
So how would I do this with one wire and one outlet, possible 2 outlets if needed. Im seeing i can use a 4 cable cord, a dual breaker, run it how though. .as 240 lol? idk what series or parallel is yet. . I just know positive, negative, ground, amps, watts, volts :\ help?. . please help??? I only need 25ft of cord, what should i get at lowes thats the cheapest? Im poor always.
