In a pinch, #10 wire has 1 ohm per 1000’ 14 gauge has 2.34 ohms. I have put spools of wire in a bucket of water to make a load for 48 V chargers before.

Safer if you take pants off. Preferably you're on a solo mission if you're doing that. On 1/7/2021 11:09 AM, Chuck McCown via AF wrote: Yeah, for heat shrink. Especially the larger stuff.

Inexpensive and load is customizable by choosing how many to plug in. Just need to be careful of storage as the bulbs are delicate. 2) heater with a low-heat mode that takes about 300-400W.

If memory serves, back in 2015 I used a couple CRT monitors. Those are long gone. The only idea I have is a space heater, but that's 850-900 watts and will probably be too much. Short of carrying up 20 Ubiquiti AP/POE and some surge strips, anyone have any clever ideas? I have to carry this up 5 flights of stairs so please be gentle :) Josh Luthman 24/7 Help Desk: 937-552-2340 Direct: 937-552-2343 1100 Wayne St Suite 1337 Troy, OH 45373 -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total Control Panel Login To: ja...@litewire.net From: af-boun...@af.afmug.com You received this message because the domain afmug.com is on your allow list. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
