the amperage used is relative to the volts you're using. If you are running a ballast on 240v it will use say 4 amps, running on 120 volts it will run on 8 amps.
Yeah I understand it is relative to what is being utilized, but I am trying to figure out if the breaker will utilize 240V since it is a 120/240V breaker.
OK I see, now I do have some 20 and 30 amp breakers that have 2 handles or whatever connected...I guess its called "2" poles...those would draw at 240V then?
Yup,and the 30 amp should be your dryer...
That would be best, ma I e sure he or she names all the breakers..
Now the 20 amp breaker is not in use at all...I could easily get 2 750 watt lights off of that plug...any input on the use of extension cords on that 20 amp outlet? The plug itself is too far away and I would need to use an extension cord as well as find a way to run 2 outlets on the cord for the 2 lights.
All of those have faded writing on the labels, I believe they are all in use somehow...I also wouldn't have any idea as to how to run the wire to the subpanel.
well you don't want to run 240v extension cords and the HPS lights draw too many amps @ 120V IMHO.
Oh there already are, there is about 4 outlets per 15 amp breaker...when I say the 20 amp plug is too far away I am only talking about 10 feet too far...
