Seeing what appears to be a crow bar glowing is something. In a house, burning 1500 or even 2500Watts is reasonable. That's only 20A at 240V (roughly). We have lots of heaters rated for home use that are 1500W, and electric ovens or electric dryers could even be 30 to 50A at 220VAC (depending the device and service available). their statement of 50,000A is interesting, but they are doing 0.5V out of their transformers. And that much is only 25,000W. Still, fun toys. And with all toys, one must be careful. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "NLUG" group.
