T5HO tripping the circuit breaker
Default T5HO tripping the circuit breaker
Hello everyone!

I purchased an 8 lamp, 4 foot fixture as a miniature sun for my 'chids!.

I plugged it in and my circuit breaker instantly switched off when I turned on one of the ballasts which controls 4 lamps. I switched the circuit back on and tried the other ballast and it turned on! With this one on, I tried turning the other one on and out blew again. The fixture is a total of 432 watts and I turned everything else off in that room.


Does anyone have any experience, tips or words of wisdom for me?

Thank you!
