Tungsten loads have inrush issues resistive loads don't. Tungsten (incandescent/filament) light bulbs have a positive temperature coefficient of resistance. This means that as the bulb heats up during operation, its resistance increases, and thus the current drawn by the bulb decreases.

2016年5月6日 · Even though the contacts are rated for 20 amps a resistive load may be more likely to pit the contacts so they derate the timer for a resistive load. Good luck! EDIT - The particular timer you have is only rated for a 1 HP motor which translated to 746 watts and 6.2 amps of inductive load. 1350 watts of Tungsten resistive load which translates ...

2019年6月18日 · Tungsten rating is about inrush current. This is the surge of power some devices draw initially on startup, notably incandescent bulbs (hence the word "tungsten")**. However, CFLs, LEDs, modern electronic ballast fluorescents and electronic power supplies also have inrush, and you must respect the tungsten rating for this.

2024年12月10日 · @crip659 I bought one of the 7-1/4" size tungsten carbide tipped cold cut blades. There is a special saw for those too but I put it on my ordinary worm-drive circular saw and have had good results. Be sure to check the saw speed; some saws run much faster than the max rated speed of the TCT blades and should not be used. –

Always both hands on the drill with a firm grip! the bit will seize in the hole at some point and the drill will rotate.

2016年2月11日 · These types of lights range in voltage from 6V to 120V depending on the fixture. The voltage & wattage should be stamped on the glass.

2017年11月28日 · I agree with both above answers but don't jump into throwing parts at it, get an ohm meter and measure the resistance of the elements with the breaker off the conductor should be open to ground and have a low resistance end to end , sometimes both elements are good and the controllers are bad or 1 controller bad possibly just 1 bad element, you might save quite a bit by checking things out.

2020年3月6日 · Also the prong is 4 prong. and because the central panel box measures the same way with 219 volts, and the panel box outside with the meter reads 219 volts, I remain wondering if 100amps are being delivered to my house of the 200 amps that i think my house needs to run central air, appliances, etc.

2023年8月21日 · Is there a definitive way to know whether MWBCs are present (or not) in an electrical panel? That is, are there multi-wire branch circuits? Can one look at the connections at the panel to see a clear

2024年7月30日 · The size of the breaker feeding the sub panel matters, just make sure it 125 amps or smaller. You also need a load calculation to see how big a breaker you can use if any. 200 amps is the total/everything.
