Reading the instruction manual is hardly pretending to be an engineer. Its a product designed for people who need two of them on an RV to be able to do it. RV owners are generally old people. If old senior citizens can connect two generators with a $50 cable that only does exactly that made by the manufacturer and takes 3 seconds to do, then I am sure I can too. =P
You can be banned for being an idiot too, I'd rather be banned for standing up for others not being douchebags than be the ignorant person who lets your distraction go allowed.
More evidence you still didnt read anything, as theres a circuit breaker on the generators after they are combined on the same panel as the plug. Hell, you can see it in the photo which is zoomed in for you already in the original post. How good do you think your advice is, telling people to double up on something they already have? You've argued and put me down 3 times now and each time you mis speak entirely about the actual project or what it already has in it. Your such an idiot lol. So go get some dick back at ya, make sure you put em on all fours first. =P

Have a 1800watt ballast to run 3 600s???
Plus not going to be a safe set up. One bulb fails and I'd bet dollars to donuts the other two on that set will fail in seconds.
Spend the cash and do it right.

you cant fix stupid, you can only send flowers to the funeral.
sorry you didnt get the answer YOU WANTED TO HEAR but personally, and i think i speak for most if not all of the electricians out there, its people like you that keep people like us off these forums.
so you asked a question, and got an answer you didnt like from an accredited professional. so what do you do? turn to personal attacks... thats pretty helpful! would you go the the ER with a broken arm and insult the doc as he was setting the break? i think not...
why dont you try looking for your info somewhere else?
because i promise you wont find it here.
specially now.....

I asked a clear and concise question. Only you seem to think that you answered the post, however clearly in the wrong, three times, and the question still goes unanswered. It isnt like you ASSume (again) that I got answers I didnt like to hear, more like YOU didnt even try to answer the question, and nobody else with the answers has replied either. I didnt hear the right answer and just say "no, thats wrong" -- NOBODY has answered the actual questions yet.
Quit being a flaming troll and either help out or get the fuck out of this thread. I'll continue to personally attack your dumb ass as long as you are an asshole to me and others here.
I hate people like you who post to keep your post count high. Post when its useful, funny, or actually useful. The last dozen replies here you barely even try to help people you just talk down to them with half information.
And you think I'm going to get what, ignored here by others because you think I'm mean to you? Waaaaaaaaaaah. Someones pussy hurts -- still -- and it aint mine.
The difference as you say between your help and a doctors help at an emergency room is that a DOCTOR would KNOW what to do. You still havent actually answered the questions, you just keep firing back with more flaming insults. Fuck you.

Talk down to them? IAm5toned has helped me a TON. Even re-answering a couple times till I got it. I don't think he gives a flying fuck how high his post count is. For the record he has posted something useful for me on at least a dozen wiring projects I've done. I think many home fires have been avoided by his help.

to do this supply power to your ballast on a continious power supply, the wire coming out of the ballast you are going to splice in two wires with female plugs on the end of them. then connect two timers to the end of the female connectors you made. then connect two male cords or two male ends from the store to the cords going to your lights. make sure you set the timers a few minutes apart because you do no want to try and power all your light at any given time.

Hi everyone, massive thread here, good work. Also too much to look through to see if this question has already been answered. I've got a situation where I've got two 40 amp/240v circuits coming from two different main panels. Is it possible to connect them both to the hot bar on a separate 100amp subpanel?

Can I wire 2-12v MassCool computer fans, 1-120mm 1-80mm, to 1 12v cell phone charger for a pc grow? I'm getting both fans and will be setting it all up with a week or 2 and would like to know before i try it and it blows out. i know how it would have to be done, so its in a continuous flow on energy, buit im wondering, can i? without something getting blown out?

Here's the answer from IAm5toned. Hope that helps you figure out if your power supply is good enough.
Daniels
[[on the fan, somewhere, on the fan, there will be a stamp, label, or embossed lettering that says the voltage, and the power consumption. looks like this-
12vdc 12w or 12vdc 500ma
what you need is the wattage, or milliamps of the fans.
add them all up (the wattage, or mA) , then multiply by 120%....
example-
3 fans, 500mA (6w)
500ma
x 3
1500ma
x 120%
1800mA
or-
6w
x 3
18w
x 120%
21.6 w
or-
.18 amps
x 3
.54
x 120%
.648 amps
your power supply, needs to be big enough for 1800mA, or, .648 amps @ 12vdc, or 21.6w @ 12vdc
just change the mA, or wattage, or amps, to match the power requirements of the fans you have.]]
Recently a ballast of mine took a nasty fall, and now I cannot get the thing to run for more than 20 minutes at a time. Trying to troubleshoot the problem, and was wondering what component should I replace first? Any advice would be appreciated. Thx!
The ballast is a 1000w xtrasun convertable.

I bought one of those 65watt (300 watt equivelant) but mine has a regular base, haven't seen any with a larger base

Dude, really? You asked a simple question, then answer one WAY more difficult. So what holds back the power within a timer? Have you tried it? Did you see the answer, then decide you knew better? This is how people cause FIRES.
