So it looks like you have a 50a double pole feeding the sub-panel. That is good. But the single pole breakers in the sub panel should be replaced with double pole breakers.

Did you post this over on Stinkbud's thread? I think I saw it over there. Nice system.

Hey delusional. Can you verify what that blue handled 15a does? turn on your dryer and furnace then turn off the blue handle and tell us if it kills the furnace and dryer.

In one pic, it kinda looks like it could be double pole, in the other pic it definitely looks like 2 singles.

I can't tell for sure from the pic. In the subbox, you see the two main wires at the top of the circuit breakers? The one on the right has red tape around it. Trace those wires back for us to the old box. Are they connected to the 50a double pole breaker on the bottom right of the old box?

Well, first off, looks like the dryer has 2 single pole 30a breakers instead of one double pole 30a breaker. That should be rectified. I think the same is true for the 15amps too. Looks like 2 single poles, instead of one double pole. Yikes. And the main switch should be a double pole, not...

You're right...should be a double pole main breaker...but... Let's see what the pic looks like inside.

Hey delusional, can you unscrew the smaller panel cover and take a picture. You don't need to touch anything, we just want a look inside.

Hey mygirls, you bring up a valid point that I have failed to even think about. I rented for 12 years before I had saved enough to buy my first home. Making modifications to the residence when you don't own it can be a problem, or frankly not allowed. I apologize for forgetting about that...

Hi Delusional....from what I can tell in this photo, the first or main box is tapped out. That seems to make sense as to why the previous owner added the second panel. The second panel seems to have room in it for some expansion - Either for 3 single pole breakers or one double pole and one...

Great advice gohydro. :clap: I'm sure there are alot of rigged setups out there that are potentially dangerous. I've seen some pictures in some posts where guys have extention cords...running from different rooms in their house to power their grow op. I'm sure alot will fall under your tip #1.

I am not sure I understand what you did to understand what the problem is. Can you elaborate more? What do you mean you drew 3 cables from one of your sockets? Where did you take the cables from exactly, what kind of socket?

Many grow rooms would benefit from installing a NEW CIRCUIT in your grow room. Grow rooms tend to use alot of power from lamps, fans/blowers, pumps. In most houses, a typical room only has one circuit. How can you tell how many circuits are in a room? Well, go look at your circuit breaker...

The Basic Power formula is P = I x E Where P is Watts (or power) Where I is Current (or AMPS) Where E is Voltage In order to determine the amps, you must transpose the formula P=IE to I=P/E or I= wattage of your light divided by the voltage of your electricity. Example: 1000 watt light will...

Ganjaboii024 - thanks for starting this thread. I think it become a very good one since I have seen so many questions on various other threads regarding electrical questions. Folks are too eager to get their grow going and just start stringing up lights, overloading circuits, putting in the...

Yikes! Some scary stuff there. A friend of ours furnace went out about a month ago when her husband was out of town on business. The temps were down into sub zero and she called wanting me to come over and see if I could figure out what was wrong. They live in a house that was built in the...

Yummmm. I'm so jealous! I've never had WW...want to try that strain. I hear good things. I think I would probably nip those small branches and let the plant put it's energy towards the big ones, but what do I know? Do the cats try to get at the plants? We have one cat that is always...
