how do I wire up a 30 amp circuit?

Hi, in order to power some transformers im using to build a tesla
coil, I need a mains circuit which can provide more than just the 16
amps my normal power circuit is rated at. 30 amps seems a good
estimate. I'm aware that it is illegal to do permanent wiring without
a licence. I have a few questions though

- how much would an electrician charge to put a 60 amp circuit in,
with 4 power points in the garage ( 15 amps each) ? I say 60 amps,
because if I am going to pay someone to do it, I might as well leave
some room for increasing demands on the mains power.

If its going to be expensive, I'll do it myself. I've got 2 options,
either I can run a wire off the fusebox, or I can splice in a wire to
the wire which comes out of the wall and powers the kitchen stove. The
kitchen stove is on a 30 amp circuit. THe second option seems the
easiest, since I won't need to put a new circuit breaker in. ANyone
have any suggestions about which method I afdopt?

In order to run the cable to the garage, would it be all right to
leave the cable exposed? ( ie not inside the walls) but in some sort
of conduit? THis is because I don't want to go up into the roof, and
its impossible to run a cable under the floor to the garage because of
a brink underfloor partition. I could however , run the cable under
the floor for most of the way, and onlyy make it go outside the house
for the last bit. Are there safety issues I havent forseen here? what
type of conduit would I use?

Finally, how would I splice my cable into the cooking range cable? I
know i'll need to cut the cooking range cable, but would it be best to
solder then heatshrink, or use a junction box of sorts?

What sort of cable would I use? I'd be reluctant to use standard 25
amp cable. Is there a standard durable cable used by electricians for
25 amp circuits?
Click to expand...
For brief periods, like a minute or so, the current draw may increase
to 50 amps or so. This will be ok though, I take it? Similar to the
way I can run 2 10 amp fan heaters off the power circuit without
blowing the fuse.

So, yeah, any advice would be great,

How much is your life worth? More than the cost of a sparky to do the job I
hope.

Get an electrician to quote for the job, it won't cost you anything to do
that.

Yep, I'm going to get a few quotes. THe reason I ask about a diy jobis
that, if I do attempt it, I'm hoping it wont cost me my life, by
learning to do it properly.

The only viable approach is a new breaker in

Its never done like that, essentially because the

That wont work either. Basically because you
wont get enough free cable when you cut it.

There's only one cable suitable, what's called TPS.

Arpit, tell me that you are not going to build a PIG powered TC as
your first coil?

Don't do it.

Build an NST powered version first. It will be easter, cheaper, and
slightly less likely to kill you whilst still offering a very
impressive output (`1m streamers are not to scoffed at).

We (coilers) have been reasonably free of scrutiny from the
authorities, (one visit reported in WA) but if you kill yourself it
will fuck it up for everyone.

Had a guy who I worked with years back
who gave himself bad RF burns.
Not that he realised what they were.

Came into work a few times with blisters, skin discolouration
and burn marks on his hands and arms.
One of his mates said he'd had that all over a couple of times.

Liked to play with his large coil a lot.
Supposedly was thrown by it a few times.

Got told he was investigated by local power companies
due to damage to neighbours electronic equipment
which the power company had to pay for.

I would be interesting to see if he is still alive and if so
is riddled with cancers or not(or has had any kids).

vermin, since neon sign transformers are hard to get here, and

hmm, I'm not worried about the power company, but I gueess i'll have
to put my computer onto an inverter supply when running the coil. I've
been running 2 microwave oven transformers fine as a jacobs ladder
though over the last few days. Well, they blow the 10 amp breaker in a
matter of seconds, but still...... my SPS didnt cut in once. THough my
father DID complain of large voltage fluctuations.

While 240v in itself isn't that risky to work with, there are a lot of
practical possibilities that the wiring system that sparkies are trained in
is designed to encompass. Left to your own devices you can convince yourself
that you've implemented a safe system, but the fact remains that an
inexperienced individual , however smart, doesn't have the collective
knowledge that has gone into the wiring standards and conventions that even
the stupidest sparkies adhere to.

Of course, I'm choosing to ignore the outrageously dangerous things that the
aforementioned stupid sparkies sometimes do :)

You're quite correct, of course but nevertheless the UK (and
other countries) have allowed people to install their own
wiring since electricity was discovered and there is no
significant incidence of electrocution or electrical fires there.

The rules in Oz are there to protect jobs not people but,
like many other things which _may_ have a safety implication
in this country, we have allowed ourselves to be brainwashed
into believing "it's all for our own good" and only the
"Professionals" can do it safely.

One thing I didnt think of till later is that if you want to
minimise the cost, some electricians are happy to give
you the cable, let you do the labor intensive stuff of
drilling the hole in the brick underfloor sub wall etc,
and basically come a long and do the ends of that
cable, one at the meter box and the other at the garage.

Most dont like crawling around under the house much and are
happy to charge you a lower price if you do that bit yourself.

estimate. I'm aware that it is illegal to do permanent wiring without
a licence. I have a few questions though

- how much would an electrician charge to put a 60 amp circuit in,
with 4 power points in the garage ( 15 amps each) ? I say 60 amps,
because if I am going to pay someone to do it, I might as well leave

Yes, that would normally be how the electrician would do it.

THis is because I don't want to go up into the roof,

Nope, that will blow the breaker.

Similar to the way I can run 2 10 amp fan heaters

Thats because they arent on a 10A breaker.

I will be watching the channel 10 news with interest over the next few
weeks. The story will go something like, "residents of xxxxxx have had a
hair-raising experience in recent days, due to an unexplained alien
phonomenon. Neon lights glow when switched off, mobile phones have stopped
working and nylon underpants are throwing sparks. Even an act of flatulance
is likely to cause second degree burns due to spontaneous combustion. Locals
have reported a low hum and a strange glow coming from one property in xxxxx
street. A number of alien investigation teams have decended on the area,
claiming that the strange images on TV sets is a sign that intelligent life
from Mars is trying to make contact with us.

In other news, police suspect a canibal cult were disrupted before they
could eat the cooked body of Mr Arpit, a resident of the same suburb where
the alien activity was reported."

And Sandra's delivery will be straight-faced and deadpan as usual.

Hi,

Oh you're still alive. Guess the chemical experiments went OK then :)

I will be watching the channel 10 news with interest over the next few
weeks. The story will go something like, "residents of xxxxxx have had a
hair-raising experience in recent days, due to an unexplained alien
phonomenon. Neon lights glow when switched off, mobile phones have stopped
working and nylon underpants are throwing sparks. Even an act of
flatulance
is likely to cause second degree burns due to spontaneous combustion.
Locals
have reported a low hum and a strange glow coming from one property in
xxxxx
street. A number of alien investigation teams have decended on the area,
claiming that the strange images on TV sets is a sign that intelligent
life
from Mars is trying to make contact with us.

In other news, police suspect a canibal cult were disrupted before they
could eat the cooked body of Mr Arpit, a resident of the same suburb where
the alien activity was reported."

And Sandra's delivery will be straight-faced and deadpan as usual.

Had a guy who I worked with years back

Not that he realised what they were.

Came into work a few times with blisters, skin discolouration
and burn marks on his hands and arms.
One of his mates said he'd had that all over a couple of times.

Liked to play with his large coil a lot.
Supposedly was thrown by it a few times.

Got told he was investigated by local power companies
due to damage to neighbours electronic equipment
which the power company had to pay for.

I would be interesting to see if he is still alive and if so
is riddled with cancers or not(or has had any kids).

One of the guys on the American telsa coil group
mentioned a member gave himself nasty soft x-ray burns
while powering a valve off his tesla coil for x-ray experiments.
He had burns all over his face that could have been stopped
by even an aluminium metal shield (not even lead).

vermin, since neon sign transformers are hard to get here, and
microwave ovens are free, I'm going to make one with 4 microwave oven

You may not need a 30A outlet then, depending on the transformers
ratings (you can run up to 4x600VA off a 10A outlet).

Most older ovens you will find junked are probably only 600 to 800W.

Also you can resistively or inductively ballast larger ones so that
they only draw 10A.

Have you got room for a 2.4kVA TC? It could produce streamers out to a
radius of 2m (if well designed).

I know you're a member of the pupman list, but join the Aus coilers
group on Yahoo too (If you haven't already), you may be able to get
some local help.

Lol.
Low hum? You've never heard a TC operate then. They're bloody loud.

I hope the guy doesn't intend to have kids - he'll likely find that
difficult.
