how to prevent fire with every item in your house on one circuit or power outlet - here is how I did it

23 April, 2008 21:14

Here is a list of items on one circuit:

  1. 26" CRT Television
  2. 575 watt stereo receiver
  3. 75 watt stereo sub-woofer
  4. computer 1: AMD 64 3.0GHz 2 core, one SATA HD, 2GB DDR2
    1. 19" widescreen LCD monitor
    2. two additionial PCI cards
    3. USB mouse RF receiver
  5. computer 2: Intel 2.6GHz Celeron, one SATA HD, one two IDE HD's 1GB DDR400
    1. 15 USB ports on 11 controllers (built in & PCI cards)
    2. USB powered audio in/out to RJ-11 with carrier signals
    3. 17" CRT
    4. 19" CRT
  6. computer 3: cobalt RAQ (low power consumption), 40GB IDE HD
  7. network equipment:
    1. 250MHz router
    2. 5 port 1000mbit switch
    3. dsl modem
    4. NAS with a 200GB IDE HD
  8. ML-1740 laser printer
  9. document scanner
  10. microwave oven
  11. toaster oven

All other items, lights, etc, are on a separate circuit.  This are are the power devices in which allows me to still be living:

1625 watt 500 50-70Hz volt transient power protector:

"A transient voltage suppressor or TVS is a general classification of an array of devices that are designed to react to sudden or momentary overvoltage conditions. One such common device used for this purpose is known as the transient voltage suppression diode that is simply a zener diode designed to protect electronics against overvoltages. Another design alternative applies a family of products that are known as metal-oxide varistor (MOV) that protect electronic circuits and electrical equipment.

The characteristic of a TVS requires that it respond to overvoltages faster than other common overvoltage protection components such as varistors or gas discharge tubes. This makes TVS devices or components useful for protection against very fast and often damaging voltage spikes. These fast overvoltage spikes are present on all distribution networks and can be caused by either internal or external events, such as lightning or motor arcing.

Applications of transient voltage suppression diodes are used for unidirectional or bidirectional electrostatic discharge protection of transmission or data lines in electronic circuits. MOV based TVS's are utilized to protect home electronics, distribution systems and may accommodate industrial level power distribution disturbances saving downtime and damage to equipment. The level of energy in a transient overvoltage can be equated to energy measured in joules or related to amperage when devices are rated for various applications. These bursts of overvoltage can be measured with specialized electronic meters that are capable of showing power disturbances of a high amplitude, thousands of volts, that last for very short time periods, even nanoseconds." - en.wikipedia.org

My power regulator that can handle - 20% voltage step-up which connects to the transient voltable regulator.  Connected to the transient voltage device are items [1-4].  The transient device has industrial source power cord (biggest power cable I have seen, about double the size of a computer power cable), extended with another industrial rated power cord (also larger than a normal computer power cable).  Obviously I don't know my AWG specs.

The extension hooks into my power regulator: (110V, 115V, 120V or 220V, 230V,240V) +/-20% Input Voltage.  The voltage regulator powers devices [5-9] in which an outlet extends to the transient voltage regulator that powers items [1-4].

Another extension of the power regulator is a universal power supply:Input Voltage 100/110/120V or 220/230/240V.

Connected to the UPS are items: 7.[1-4] on the battery backup outlets.  Their is a cordless phone receiver also connected that transforms back to the power regulator.

The primary source for all items listed above is one power outlet.

The microwave oven, small, 800 watts and the toaster oven are connected to separate outlets.

When either the microwave or toaster is in use, the house starts beeping as the power regulator goes into up-step conversion, connected to the transient power regulator, and UPS thus allowing my life to continue while living in a small appartment.
