Aluminium, steel wool, are irritating some polishing compounds have heavy metals in them. These are just examples and by no means all inclusive I have no idea what the fuck anyone else is using but I try to consider if I am going to use a product in this arena it is incumbent upon me to use it responsibly. This goes for personal and environmental protection. Also, I know eating, drinking, and smoking are going on somewhere nearby so be mindful to clean yourself up.

also most electronics solder has lead....
expect any new plastic part to be covered in all kinds of toxic organic compounds, etc

B10? C16? I'm clueless without a scorecard here...

remember DIN rails?

Note: These calculated values are based on MCB S200 series manufactured by ABB except for HVG/HVGC series, which are calculated by using MCB S260 series of the same manufacturer.

B10 breaker:

D16 breaker (siemens tho prob equiv to abb):

well i use alot of that sprinkler wire in my daily bus and although its 18 ga and solid core,it should be fine for dc currents.it was designed for 24volts .so theres no protections for the casing which is part of our safety.i just wanted to toss that out there,i have seen this wire melt when shorted and thats just with 24v so i chose to use 300v rated wire from the depot for all my builds.i think i paid about 35 cents per foot off the bulk rolls.but i also got 16 ga stranded instead of 18.

does the 16ga stranded fit the ideal holder pushins? pretty sure they top out at 18ga

i have some 18 ga solid doorbell wire from home depot guess ill order some thhn from online

sounds like you have a major problem in your wiring. A ground wire should not be sparking it indicates there is live current going through the ground. very very bad and very dangerous

plug your unit into a gfci outlet and see if it faults under the same conditions.

You mean with the 2 power strips agIn?

This still doesn't really help me, is this for 240V?

It would be the circuits that you make available for the drivers. I have a sub panel which can use both B10 and C16 circuits in the breaker. The number you see listed next to B10 and C16 would be the number of drivers per that type ran as a dedicated circuit.

Right @BOBBY_G ? Or am I missing something?

you are right

id love to know which subpanel/breakers you are running. i cant find any residential breakers when searching for c- and d-type

ideally wed be able to determine which breakers of a common residential panel (square-d, GE, siemens, eaton, etc) are b-type and c-type breakers so we could throw the less sensitive breakers in an existing panel. seems like all residential breakers are generally rated as 'HACR' or whatever on their cutsheets

@ttystik: if we can do the above id say "go to the chart here www.platt.com/CutSheets/Eaton Distribution/Breakers-ClassifedType.pdf and replace your homeline HOM230 with a GE THQ1230 its a C type and will be less sensitive"

Actually plants grow so fast under this patented proprietary technology (PPT) that those prevent burning while at the same time provide a PPT spectrum that absolutely slaughters HPS, HPV , herpes and every other known technology available to the public today.
