Power spike cause

[pisspotgrower]

If u think a 400 watt light causes anything that ur talin about ur kiddin man....Ur bloody powersupply for ur computer causes more of a "powerspike" than ur light u nutcase......and is completly different to a household appliance starting up .

 

I hope the cops dont get ur paranoid ass

[iamnotacop]

OK I will refer you back to the very first post of mine and maybe you can ask someone to explain the big words to you.

 

Ohh and if you know the answer (as you stupidly claimed) one word is required.

 

 

 

BALLAST

 

OR

 

 

BULB

[pisspotgrower]

Humm, well in order to start a bulb u need a ballast........What r u tryn to say man.....u need an ampage to start yes, u need power yes... Now is what ur sayin when u turn it on ur worried about the power it uses and who is watching ??? if not what the fuck u talkin bout.

 

And fuck ya, i dont need words i got pics...something u dont cause u cat even start a 400 watt light

[iamnotacop]

. That was neither bulb or ballast.

 

I repeat you have no fucking idea what I am asking. I am asking if the bulb causes the power spike or does the ballast IF hooked up to a flip flop. Because using a flip flop the ballast does not fucking turn off, it just flips the lights in another room on. So the ballast does not get 12 hours of time to lose its heat, it would remain constantly warm.

 

Now do you understand??

 

This has nothing to do with paranoia, but how do you know I am paranoid. Is that you parked down the road? Did you break into my house and steal my bread? Did you authorise the implanted chip in my head?

 

 

Fuck..... I thought I was safe on the Internet!!!

 

Wheres my foil hat??

 

Did you steal my foil hat??

 

 

Fuck

[pisspotgrower]

And what im saying after u find all this out which is fuckin pointless for 400 watts ( maybe if u try get what im sayin not just ur fucked point of view ), will u even start up that flip flop.........nup.............good luck to the run that never is gona exisit.

I'm not real sure what answer you're after here INAC.

 

What's this flip flop? Are you switching over to unlit lamps, from lit ones? Ballasts have voltage all the time?

 

If so, all you are doing is getting a new start up current as the unlit lamps strike.

 

You already know the 'spike' comes from the ballast/s. As PPG said, you answered it with the ballast specs quote..

I said I think it is caused by the ballast, so I wanted clarification so that I would know for sure. I know stupid thing to want to clarify something that has the "potential" to overload circuits.

Post #36 is using the wrong relays, they are not rated for 600V and will not handle the 5000V spike when a 1000W bulb is lit.

 

 

In the other thread Olyver made this comment and it got me thinking is it the bulb or the ballast.

 

Using it in a flip flop is completely different scenario as compared to one single 400 watter.

In the original thread I mentioned two 600 watters, so that makes a difference. That is why I wanted to know.

The first underlined bit contradicts the second underlined bit, which is why I wanted to know the answer.

 

sheesh

The bulb causes the spike. It's caused when the bulb first strikes an arc.

Love this place. Glad I knew what he was talking about. lol

 

And who the fuck really cares anyway. .

[iamnotacop]

Yes thankyou MongyMan. I finally found it though on a different site, but glad that you could back it up.

 

 

 

A flip flop box is not going to prevent spikes. If someone were watching your power line they would see a sudden drop to be followed by a slow ramp up of current starting a second later. When you turn a HID light on, the current starts off low and then increases as the bulb brightens. quote - BlindDate

 

Brick I care, cause now I know, where as before I did not.
