You may connect multiple items to a 120 volt duplex outlet providing the wattage does not exceed 800 watts (6 amps) on the 800 watt outlet and 1500 watts (12 amps) on the 1500 watt outlet. You may use an approved 3-wire grounded power bar, listed by a nationally recognized testing laboratory (i.e. CSA).

To determine what your power requirements are, look for the nameplate on the bottom or back of your product. It will tell you how much power and the voltage your product requires to operate. All equipment sold in Canada must bear this nameplate. watt light bulbs, the lights require 600 watts of power to operate ? you would need to order an 800 watt outlet.

SHOWTECH'S 120 volt, 800 and 1500 watt duplex outlets has two places to plug in your equipment. Depending on which outlet you order, there will be a combined output of either 800 or 1500 watts of power. Example: If you have 1 piece of equipment that requires 1500 watts of power to operate, you need to order a 1500 watt outlet. You can only utilize one of the plugs; the equipment requires the full 1500 watts of power to operate. See similar questions...

Thomas Edison [no kidding] invented the electric light bulb, and needed to distribute electricity to make it usable. He built a system based on 110 volts DC. It was uneconomical and had large conductors and big voltage drops. George Westinghouse came up with the idea of using alternating current to transmit electricity. See similar questions...

This is probably our most commonly asked question and the answer comes down to common sense and child safety . Although caps plug up the outlet holes, they simultaneously prevent your electrical outlets from being used. There are, in fact, many electrical outlets in our homes that are in continuous use, including TV's, stereos, clocks, lamps, toasters and coffee makers. These devices are commonly plugged in on a permanent basis. See similar questions...

No, it is similar to a keyboard. Just connect Mission Control to the computer with the USB cord. It uses the power from your computer, just like your current keyboard. Additional power is not needed to run Mission Control. See similar questions...

Line voltage in the United States is 120 volts however lamps are often manufactured at 130 volts to increase lamp life and to offer protection against power surges. Please note you may use a 130-volt lamp in a 120-volt socket without issue but you will sacrifice some light output. Rule of thumb: a 130-volt lamp may last up to twice as long but can be up to 15% dimmer than a 120-volt lamp See similar questions...

Simply put, they are all the same. The actual voltage is typically between 117 volts and 124 volts; 110, 115, and 120 (and 220, 230, and 240) are just names that come out of history. See similar questions...

No, if you wire a 240 volt heater to a 120 volt circuit, you will only get about ¼ the wattage the heater was designed to deliver. See similar questions...

If your wiring already exists, you need to check the voltage of your electrical circuit and install the matching heaters. Both types of heater operate with the same output and use the same amount of electricity for any given amount of time. 240 volt heaters require double pole breakers, and 120 volt heaters require single pole breakers. See chart below: See similar questions...

Electricity is calculated on kilowatt hours, not by voltage. For example: a 1500, 120 volt heater will cost the same to run as a 1500 watt, 240 volt heater for the same amount of time. The difference is in the amperage. A 120 volt heater will draw twice as many amps as a 240 volt heater; so fewer 120 volt heaters can be run on the same circuit. See similar questions...

Remove questionable device, and test outlet with some desktop item, e.g. pencil sharpener, calculator, clock, light, etc. See if they go on. If not, end-user must report to electronic repair personnel as electric problem. If all else fails, contact Magnatech, or if the product is under warranty, contact the manufacturer for service.

Yes. You will need a three prong GFCI grounded outlet (e.g., outlet that has a safety breaker in it -- same as those found in kitchens). If your outlet is more than four feet from the toilet, a grounded extension cord is necessary. For those customers interested in installing a new outlet specifically for the Swash, the optimum location when facing your toilet fixture is to the left side of the fixture underneath the toilet tank.

New Zealand operates on 230/240 volts, 50 hertz, hairdryers, shavers, video recorders, digital cameras, etc. will require a converter and a plug for New Zealand. This plug is different from those used in Australia. Most laptops are equipped with a transformer that allows you to plug in with just the proper plug, but check with your computer manufacturer for exact information. See similar questions...

Most outlets are the Center are the two-prong grounded type (although if you’re out of the Center, you will also find two-prong non-grounded), the kind with one wide prong and one narrow prong. If you’re bringing electrical appliances with three prongs you will need an adapter. You can either bring one from the States, or buy one here. FYI: You should also know that American appliances might run slower (or not at all). TV and radio frequencies are also different. See similar questions...
