Proton Soup said:i think 15A is a common breaker size now for wall outlet circuits. in the past, larger size fuses may have been used. few enough and large enough to be fire hazards.
wall outlets in an actual "shop" in a commercial building may be another story, though. do we have an electrician in the house?

Ivan Seeking said:Please do! Do you know any good Amish games?
Ivan Seeking said:True or false: You can get the same amount of heat from a $15 electric heater from Walmart?

Hey, it was nearly $50!stewartcs said:That's a really low PF for a UPS. Most newer ones are around 0.9. Sounds like mgb bought a cheap UPS!

It kept the PC alive during our regular winter brown outs and it powered the cable modem + wireless for an hour when the power went out, so I could stay on PF from my laptop.
I don't understand why they don't quote the actual amp-hours of the battery though - except it would allow a fair comparison of the products.
A Heat Surge Amish-made fireplace is a type of electric fireplace that is handcrafted by Amish craftsmen using traditional methods and materials. It is designed to replicate the look and feel of a traditional wood-burning fireplace without the need for a chimney or gas line.
A Heat Surge Amish-made fireplace uses a combination of infrared heating technology and a patented fireless flame technology to produce heat and the appearance of a real fire. The infrared heat is emitted from a heating element and is absorbed by objects in the room, providing warmth similar to the heat produced by the sun.
Yes, a Heat Surge Amish-made fireplace is energy-efficient. It uses less energy than a traditional wood-burning fireplace or gas fireplace, as it does not require any fuel to operate. Additionally, the infrared heat produced by the fireplace is directed towards objects in the room, rather than being wasted in the air, making it more efficient.
No, a Heat Surge Amish-made fireplace is designed with safety in mind. It does not produce any real flames, so there is no risk of sparks or fire hazards. Additionally, the exterior of the fireplace remains cool to the touch, making it safe for children and pets.
Yes, a Heat Surge Amish-made fireplace can be used in any room as long as there is an electrical outlet available. It is a great option for adding supplemental heat to a living room, bedroom, or even an office. However, it is not recommended for use in bathrooms or other areas with high levels of moisture.
