I just bought 2 Terraminer iv's... Running them for a short time caused my power to cut off, had to go to the fusebox and switch it back on. Clearly, too much power being used at once so I go on the netz and read that a circuit can only take max. 1800-2400 watts before it shorts.
What are your solutions for upgrading the amount of power your home system can take? Saw this vid that was interesting:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xwhMja7u_yABut interested in hearing other solutions.. thanks.
well first off where are you and what are your local laws about upgrades.
I live in New Jersey I am a homeowner and I am allowed to upgrade my home power.
If you are allowed to do it yourself but don't know what you are doing don't do it. I will watch your video link.
Okay I watched it do not buy it here is why you have no idea what plug your stove is using. also if you cook you need your stove.
I would love to see a photo of your breaker box. Give me 10 minutes to photo what I did.
Don't kill yourself or shock yourself or anyone else make sure your hire the right personten gauge wire two hots into a 2 pole breaker
