Using powerline homeplugs across separate circuits

[Jeff105]

Other forums??? How unfaithful! Tut tut.

I have a marine reef aquarium and am a moderator on the main UK hobby forum Ultimate Reef. There is a lot of subject matter in that hobby which covers electrics, electronics, wifi etc. There are members there who are qualified electricians in their day jobs, also members who it seems have used powerline homeplugs successfully across different circuits.

No slight intended.

Pleased to report that everything seems to work perfectly using this product. As it has two ethernet ports on each plug I was also able to connect the Naim streamer directly instead of relying on wi-fi reception only.

Thanks to everyone who posted.

Pleased for them. I didn't realise fish were so complex!

Oh yes. And some like to make it as complex as they can. Keeping delicate corals alive is the really hard part. Needs lots of electrical kit to maintain stability. Electrical gear and salt water makes for a dangerous combination in the hands of the unwary...

Perhaps there should be a separate section in BS7671 for fish tanks and aquariums?

Not really, there's only so many ways to cook them!

Oh please, no!

The hobby is expensive enough already without adding extra regulatory restrictions.

Very true.
