Hi, thanks a lot. Btw, where did you get the wires from? Is it suitable for MH's[the heat n high voltage]? Mine is the NAtional SE. Sorry for not being specific, But i think i got a rough idea from your pics. Thanks man.!

[roidan]

i got from sim lim tower....

the wire had wordings of 70/0076x3c

but it sure is thick enough....there are some thinner triple core cables around but i kiasu get this one that is quite thick

[roidan]

some similar cables i used have wordings like 300/500V

the numbers do mean something, but i physically bend the wire to see if the wire is thick and also see the 3 inner cores of copper issit thick enough..hehe

The National SE is very simple. There's 2 wire connected to a connector inside the housing. just connect the live and neutral part of you mains to the connector. The polarity does not matter as it's AC. As for grounding, it's optional, just connect the earth to any of the screws can liaoz.

As for wires, that's not really a problem, those normal wires used for 3pin plugs is rated for 13A (3000watt) and can get at any hardware store. a 250watt MH draws less than 1A so just bout anyelectrical wires can handle the load. including those red/black wires. But if like typical singaporean, can go hardware/DIY store and ask for 15A wires lor. But definitely overkill. A hair dryer uses between 800-1500 watt and uses thin wires but still pass sisir approval.

yeah..i was about to say the same about hair dryers...as high as 1500W and yet use those thin thin double core wires...lol...

somehow i find it quite fun to strip wires with a wire stripper....lol...

Hi Roidan,

May I know how you hang up your MH? I just got the same MH as yours from Victron.

Sorry Cool_anakin for hijacking yr thread.

Why not take the control gear out and place it separate for the national SE. will make the housing alot lighter and cooler. So wont add so much heat to the tank.
