is a 12 gallon shop vac with a 5.5 peak HP + 6in vortex fan + 400w hps + 6in inline fan +4x2 4 bulb t5 =xAmps
+ rrep to the math wiz who tells me this awnser
 
each fan has a little plate telling the voltage and either the watts or amps drawn. plug the data into Weegog's calculator for your answer. or if you are too lazy to do that,post your address. Im sure if someone is in the neighborhood, they will stop by to help you out.
 
how many watts are the t5 bulbs?

Round about answer though .. the 400 watter is 4.5

inline fan 1-2 amps x2 = 4 amps

T5 fixture is 2-4 amps

Over all estimate I would say 12 amps.. its more then likely under that.. but I always round way up because you never want a circuit at full duty cycle.. specially since most of our equipment is on 12 to 24 hours a day. if you had this entire setup on once household circuit .. I would say you would be fine .. as long as that circuit isnt shared with other rooms. Most household circuits are 15 or 20 amps :)

This estimate has tons of cusion though .. most vortex fans pull .80 amps .. the 4 bulb 2ft fixture realistically pulls about 1.5 amps ect ect ..
 
Typical thread. Someone too lazy to learn something so everyone spoon-feeds him. GOOGLE

yah i am too lazy, been setting up my room for the past 9 hours, sometimes there just isnt time for the little things, thought maybe someone else with more time on their hands at the moment could help. You sure are productive though i bet u dont no the first thing about hard work since you spend your time making pointless post.

Figuring your electric demand a little thing? Whats more important than that in a grow? Look up ohms law.
 
i was only curious to see how many amps i was running, I know my limit and I know I am under it I just wanted to no how much leg room I had...
