overloaded circuit w/ power transformer


Recommended Posts

Are all those thermo regulators and pumps on the same circuit/transformer?

Best case the transformer cannot run them concurrently. Worst case circuit damage I guess. Maxes out at 1000w just four regs or pumps puts you 80 shy of that.

Standard wire can only carry load of up to 1 kW of connected power consumers without breaking. Since a regulator consumes 240 W, you can only have four of them on single transformer. 

The hydrogen bubbler design you refer to might have been from times when there were no transformers and the heavy wire could be used in place of standard wire to carry load of up to 2 kW. The game does not work that way anymore.
