Yeah, its been 5 years since I bought it, I'll just return it...

A lot of people had a lot of questions after my last post with a full lab history, because I didn't include much detail in there

This is a full writeup of my lab with hopefully all questions answered. If there are any more, either email me, or tell me here and I can include it in the post for more people to read

Hopefully this is interesting to some

This is how I made changes to my lab over the years and where I am now. I'll have to make a post detailing the current specs and uses too, ill link it at the end soon

I had one that showed 6 years, but a lot of changes have been made

Some of you have probably seen the first set of images from the 6 year update

Who else is in my house?

Fished cables do not have that requirement

I used to live in the UK, and as a messy teenager my room wasn't the neatest...

Surely that could be said for anything though? There is nothing stopping me from getting an adapter to plug a space heater with a cheap 16awg cord with an adapter into a 30a outlet

Here there is a breaker, and if the UPS is disconnected, there is no power. Of course someone could go and plug this into a 30a outlet, however that's something that I wouldn't do, so its not really my issue

Thanks for digging that up, it looks like I am actually golden then

The UPS does have breakers though

Thanks, I'll keep posting anything I think is interesting

Problem is when you step on them, it hurts like hell...

For starters, when I looked into doing this I found everyone disagreeing if it was code. I personally think it might be up to code actually

If they sell those power inlets which are NEC approved, how can you use them without breaking code? So it MUST be code. But then you ask 10 people and get 10 answers

There are larger UPS's designed for hard-wiring, but they are almost always VERY large. I think that might be the only way to avoid an inlet cord like this

Brand new outlet, brand new high quality extension cord

Its very unlickely anything would be plugged in here, the outlets are located under desks, behind TV's etc. They are also the only decora 15a outlets in the house, everything I do new is 20a, so you'll identify them pretty easy
