A simple (and I do mean simple) formula is approximately 100 watts per amp. So, 700 watts total equals 7 amps, with 8 amps to spare on the 15 amp circuit breaker.

It's really a bit more complicated than that, considering rms voltage/current equation, but it's close enough for government use. ;)

What inverter would you need to run 600watt light and could also put a heavy duty battery charger on to charge the battery bk up that runs the inverter in the first place and can it be done free power?

There is no free power. Inverters always waste some power; they are not 100% efficient. You can't take as much power out of a battery as you put in to it.


How many amps does a 600watt ballast pull?

Watts = Amps x Volts, so 600 W / 240 V = 2.5 A 600 W / 120 V = 5 A 600 W rated balast is more like 660 W in realty, so to be safe, plan for 3A pulled per ballast. P.S. New digital balasts are much closer to 600 W, something in 610 - 620 W range.


If 200 and 600 watt bulbs are fed with a same voltage source then the resistance of 200watt bulb when compared to 600watt bulb?

The resistance of the bulbs doesn't depend on the voltage source. They can be wrapped in tissue in cardboard boxes in the drawer. If one bulb is designed to dissipate 200 watts and another is designed to dissipate 600 watts when they're both energized by the same voltage, whatever that is, then the 200-watt bulb has three times the resistance of the 600-watter.


Newly built PC turns on and loads into BIOS then shuts down.?

My build is: Q6600 Biostar tForce Motherboard 8800GTS 512MB 300GB HD 2GB 1066 Ram (I only have 1 in atm) 600Watt OCZ GameXStream PSU The problem is that my system turns on (not every time it seems as if I have to wait an hour in between tries) and boots into the BIOS then it asks me to insert a something to load an OS. Usually when it gets to this point it just shuts down no beeps or anything.
