Hi,
I have just set up a new air cooled hood. The ballast was working fine with the previous lamp reflector at 600 watts.
With the new lamp connector set to 600 watts (its a dimmable ballast) the bulb lights up for a couple of minutes then the house fuse trips.
When the ballast is set to 400 watts it works fine, when increased to 600 watts it trips again.
I'm assuming the new lamp unit is faulty. Is it likely to be dangerous to use even at 400 watts?
Any info appreciated.
Thanks,
