Hi there, ive been having a hell of a morning troubleshooting this problem and decided to reach out for a little assistance hopefully
So I've got a 1000w new(1year old) lumitek ballast I've been running along with a small AC unit on a 15amp circuit for the last year or so. All of a sudden, this morning I go to see that the breaker has been tripped.
So, I unplug the ballast, go flip the breaker back on and find that, cool, the AC unit is back up and running. So I unplug it, and plug the ballast in its place, all alone on the circuit now, and it immediately trips the breaker. Hm, ok, so, I unplug the ballast and plug it in on a different 15amp circuit and it immediately trips that breaker.
I've only got 2 circuits in reach of the ballast cord and apparently the ballast trips them both the instsnt it clicks on.
It's one of those ballasts with adjustable wattage and even with the wattage turned all the way down it flips the breaker.
So! What to do? And why would this problem just start up like this after a year of perfect operation?
Thanks a ton for any help.
