Power setup

[Fluffy bud]

Hi all so am setting up in a small bedroom in a tent 2.4 x1.2 metres using 2 600 watt hps 1 6in out 1 5in in and a monkey fan 9in
So my problem is there's only one single socket so need advice how i can power the stuff from this. Have any of you lot used a single socket and how did you go about it thanks

Use an extension

Just check the socket is on a ring and not a radial and then an extension ( with full 13a rating ) will be ok as mc says. Fuse board will help you check

What ballasts and fan controller do you have?

So if i run extension from the socket then plug the intake and outtake and the fan in would it be ok for me to pug a timer into the last with one of them square blocks then both lights into that so my fans are on constantly and the lights on a timer. Ill buy a heavy duty extension.

Two 600w magnetic i think. And im not using a controller

2x magnetic ballasts? Scrap my above advice as it would be too close to the plugs power limits

[gardro]

Quite a lot of inductance in that circuit. You will be running close to limits. If its a spur or radial i wouldnt sleep comfortably

Contactor will be essential or high power timer per ballast

How are you controlling temp?

Could i do the above but instead of the timer use a contactor with timer on that?

Im using 6" outtake with 9" fan and 4" intake

I'd get some professional advice mate. In plain talk, it is the equivalent of running a kettle but, with magnetic ballasts, add an extra 10% So, assume 1320w just for the lighting
