Gooday, I live in a duplex and I have 2 1000w lights, and when both are connected the power restarts, so i disconnect one, and everything is fine. I currently have this running:


1000w light
250w inline fan
150w exhaust
150w exhaust

When I look at my circuit board, I can't see where it displays my AMPS , but could someone maybe back me up on maybe what my max wattage would be? and if I can expand it ? Would circuit breakers solve the issue?

Any advice wouild be greatly appreciated, many thanks and toke on!
 
What do you mean power restarts? Typical circuit is 15 amps and your trying to run 22 amps total with the 2 lights. Is there not circuit breakers now?
 
Not sure what you mean circuit board? Are you saying when 2 1000 lights are on your fuse box pops a breaker and you have to flip it back? As said most breakers in there are 15 amp maybe 2 but your also not on a dedicated breaker so other electricity is being used so your overloading the breaker. You cant just add a bigger breaker as that's not safe. Put the lights on different breaker lines ie outlets that are on different breakers.
 
Lol do not put a bigger breaker in! ( I wish it was that easy lol). Wire used for a typical 15 amp circuit is 14g any higher breaker size and you could have a fire by over loading wire :fire:
