    New Beginnings: Tricking out a rough Grow-Room.

    yes, if you keep at 80% you wont have any problems for many years... its cheaper to make new circuit, put new wires and conduits now, then later, or when it catches on fire... not worth of cheaping out... about differences, there is no winner and loser, we both have standards that keep us safe...

    New Beginnings: Tricking out a rough Grow-Room.

    our instalation in homes always go on walls, inside flexible pvc tubes that are later covered with glazure that we cover all our walls with, and usually we put single wires, so you pull 3 single wires, brown, blue and yellow/green (phase, neutral, ground) from panel to junction box, from there...

    New Beginnings: Tricking out a rough Grow-Room.

    its one phase... we only have 240v monophase and 380v 3-phase... we use RCD switch instead of gfci and afci, its enough to protect from both arcs and ground faults, and it is installed in panel boxes before all breakers, so its also used as main switch, we measure wire thickness in mm2, starting...

    New Beginnings: Tricking out a rough Grow-Room.

    yea, romex trough floor and then pipe on a wall seems like a cool idea, it will save you some buck on pvc pipes... yea, here we have 240v and 3 phase 480v devices like ovens, water heaters etc.

    New Beginnings: Tricking out a rough Grow-Room.

    hey mate, sorry i forgot i promised to look into this, i popped my sleeping pills, and am almost done, all i have right now is this video: which i wanted to see to learn about your system... i think 240v is bi-phase since you use 2 phase (hot) terminals... for all surface wires i usually used...

    Air Conditioning: In wall or Portable

    hmmm, on that thread, guy had 9x600w plus a burner, with your calc only fpr lights he would need 15.390, but needs to use 28000 btu ac, i dont think he need 12000 btu just for burner, and if i digged around little bit more im sure ill find more proof agaibst that formula, but i dont really care...

    Air Conditioning: In wall or Portable

    not me, my mother... i dont believe its a good calculation, it seems logical to include room size, but i may be wrong as im not an expert in cooling... and i definitely dont believe its an industry standard, something like 3.4 just doesnt make sense to be applicable to room size of 2x2x2 and...

    nope, it uses i2c if im not misaken, sp only 2 wires for data plus 2 for power, and then your microcontroller basically sends give me temperature command, and sensor sends temperature, same for rh and for co2... so its not just a sensor, but there is a chip on board as well that handles...
