Typical 3-bed semi,UK?

[hazyfontazy]

so for info, incase you ever go back into the business

houses with...........


a pool

or

horse stables

or


old farmhouses

or

new build 10 bedders

or

houses with hot hubs

or

houses with cat 5 and IT suites

or

most brown stones in london ( circa 1800s )

or

most new build houses with more than 12 beds or ones that have an electric car point or large out houses ( barns / stables etc )

or


most new builds that are in a range of 3 miles from a wind farm or solar harvest ( typically farm houses but some estates are now falling into this category )

or

a million other reasons............................................

do i need to continue, or in your entire career did you never do any electric work apart from changing a plug ???

please forgive my harsh reply, its the language i use with rude and " i know it all " people who typically hang around the internet professing they are experts on all aspects of life but are rarely an expert in anything other than their own imagination

wow

None of those situations would require 3 phases..

changing the fuse would affect the bill exactly 0% ( its a fuse...... really do you need this explaining ?? )


try changing the fuse in you ballast, ive heard it knocks your bill down 90% !!! lol

oh and dont forget the kettle

hey springer20 i was only responding to harry limes post because of the fuse thing as there is a guy here who rigs meters so you get free leccy
i thought this is how it was done BUT as i no fuck all about leccy i pay for mine i dont steal it...So i got it wrong...

both rooms operate on a checkerboard so only half lights at once ( 5 and 6 ).... but cover a larger sq ftage, so total lights is really 14 flower and 3 veg

what light schedule do you use for checkerboard - 2 hour on off? and how is yield affected.


thank you

 

[ThcGrower4life]

hey springer20 too me hazy was only saying in his first post dont fuck about with leccy if you dont no what your doing i respect him for that..i thought this was a cannabis communty where growers help other growers you could have explained to us mere mortals that we are wrong you said yourself you are harsh and rude in your reply but there is no need for it

 

[hazyfontazy]

Back to college for hazyfontazy it seems.........lol

3 phase on domestic is 3 phases of 100 amps so bigger houses farms mansions etc have to get it installed as the demand from the house is greater than 100 amp

its not me who needs to learn ...

please people do not ring up your leccy company and ask for a 3 phase supply if u live in a domestic dwelling

 

[ThcGrower4life]

hey hazey so what you are saying is i wouldnt phone up the leccy company and ask for 3 phase supply for my 2 bedroom council house...

 

[hazyfontazy]

correct

 

[northerngrafta]

So what is then that people have when the have a 3x 100 amp supply in a house then..... There is people in the thread who actually have at??!?

Thanks green,sounds cool,but I was just wondering has anyone grown with more than that,say around 10,000 watts or so and not been caught?

hiya buddy,,,hoping alls well your end,,,,just over 4k watts in a 3 bed semi was cool at the time,,,not forgetting how greedy our electric companys were and are,,paying bills promptly etc,,but that much power [10k and over] may be better placed in a detached with outbuildings even if the grow is indoors,,,,i imagine it would need to be quite a large 3 bed semi to be using that much juice,,a lot of the Vietnamese grows in semis use all the house and pretty sure they have that sort of power going but they never seem to last very long and they chore there juice,,,sorry I couldn't be off more help buddy,,still a massive amount of power for the average 3 bed semi,, nice snow free roofs at xmas though lol,peace and regards s2

If you do require a multi phase supply then you will need to get UK Power Networks to upgrade the header board and wiring to 3 phase from the street to the supply, then you can simply ring your energy provider and ask for a meter exchange from a single phase to a 3 phase with no questions asked. I get it all the time and have never questioned anybody as the customer comes first if they want a 3 phase from a single phase and had all the relevant wiring and header upgraded then its down to them. A meter is a meter at the end of the day and as long as you pay your bills and do not nick the leccy then the energy company is happy.

Peace

in a house ?

Yes mate even in a house I do not think that everyone who takes the calls for these energy companies automatically sound the alarms when a paying happy customer wants an upgrade to their supply, as hot tubs and a/c are all common practice these days. I have worked in the energy game for 18 years.

so u have installed a 3 phase system in a house ?

 

[SativaBreather]

fucking hell mate just accept you can get 3 phase in a fucking house will ya? lol jesus christ lol

Not me personally but the company has loads of times as long as like I said the wiring and header board has been upgraded.

Here look mate http://community.screwfix.com/threads/3-phase-supply-cost.51838/

Love it had a rite good chuckle........ What will it take for hazy to admit he is wrong.

Hopefully this is proof enough.......

3 phase on domestic is 3 phases of 100 amps so bigger houses farms mansions etc have to get it installed as the demand from the house is greater than 100 amp

its not me who needs to learn ...

noone was asking nor thinking of that

clearly thats incredible obvious, just like not ringing your local police station and asking where is your nearest hydro shop


i was pointing out that there are plenty of houses with 3 phase, for a hundred reasons, obviously this was installed when the house was built, ringing and asking for it would be moronic if you are growing, thats really obvious to everyone, but thanks for the incredibly obvious advise

wow !

just wow !!!


ps - just like how the number of go fast stripes on a boy racer car do nothing to increase the actual car in question..................... your overuse of internet smilies does nothing to increase the content of your posts in question

what light schedule do you use for checkerboard - 2 hour on off? and how is yield affected.


thank you

3 hours on and off ( twice in 12/12 so 3 on, 3 off, 3 on, 3 off ....... for every light )........... need to pack the lights in for this tho, a typical 2.5 - 3m by 3m room will take 12 lights with a 2500 - 3500m/2 extract, but only use 6 in actual power......... and yield like a pig

so a 12 light room uses 6 light power, a 48 light barn uses 24 light power

it increases yield over using the lesser wattage, i would say about 25% more

so it makes 1GPW pretty easy in commercial applications, instead of the usual 0.75 - 0.85 that ive usually seen

the only downside is the outlay for the extra lights and the extra power boards and contactors
