This secondary winding also has a connection mid-way between the ends of the winding called a center tap and this center tap is connected to the earth. In The US and (I think) north America, the nominal voltage delivered to residences is 240 volts from the secondary winding of the utility's distribution transformer. You guys are getting mixed up with multi-voltage three-wire systems and the terms earthed, ground, grounded and most of all, voltage-to-ground. I don't know them at all, lol, so that is likely as totally wrong as it sounds.** **Just got a reply from the girl we bought it from and she asked her boyfriend abt the breaker the outlet they hooked it up to was on and he said "double 50 amp". And they are the same as this one we just bought.
The best thing abt this one is that my bulbs from the one we blew the ballasts on are still good, the fans and timer are good and all the parts like the cover, trim, acrilyc, etc are in great condition. We didn't pay a lot for this one but I can't afford to buy another one if this doesn't work out. And for whatever reason, tanning bed manufactures don't make the info easy to find like I thought they would have ! Lol. I am now obsessed with making sure it is right before we hook it up. (And I soon learned the ballasts would be about $60-80 each and I would need 8 and that was more than we paid for the bed.) What we didn't know, is that my dad had changed it into a 220 at some point before he passed away 6 months before then. It ran on 110 and we plugged it into the outlet that my mom knew to be 110 and it blew all the ballasts. This figures to about 5 to 10 cents per tanning session, depending on electricity costs in your state.I probably seem obsessive about it but 2-1/2 years ago my mom and I split the cost of a used tanning bed. Even 220v tanning beds use very little more than this.
It depends on the tanning bed, but a typical 24 lamp SunMaster uses less electricity than a hand held hair dryer. How much electricity does a 220v tanning bed use? While 24 lamps light up, this tanning bed is only slightly more powerful than a typical 16 lamp system. A 110 volt bed can be moved easily around the home without the help of an electrician. Most 24 lamp systems are 220 volt, which means an electrician has to run a 220 volt line to the bed. In respect to this, is a 110 tanning bed as good as a 220? I have never installed a home tanning bed that takes over a 20 amp circuit, feeding it with 40+ amps is not a good idea. You better hope your tanning bed has internal overcurrent protection on because if something goes bad it is going to ruin it. But most likely you WILL need Buck Boosters.Ĭan you plug a tanning bed into a dryer outlet? A dryer outlet is on at least a 40 amp circuit. Therefore you need a buck booster to Boost up the voltage to 220-240 Volts depending on what beds you have.
Similarly, it is asked, do I need a buck booster for tanning bed? All 120 Volt tanning beds with 16 or less lamps require a NEMA 5-15R receptacle (pictured above left) and a dedicated 15 Amp circuit breaker, while all 120 Volt tanning beds with more than 16 lamps require a NEMA 5-20R receptacle (pictured right) and a 20 Amp dedicated circuit breaker.
