Matrix L33 - tanTALK

sbt501 · 06-01-2010, 09:02 PM

My Matrix is blowing the fuses in my disconnect (9 min. into session both times). I upped ballast tap settings a few days ago and replaced accent lighting lamps. I plan to check ballasts in the morning. Any other ideas of things to check?

Upping the taps makes it draw more current. Also, bad capacitors will make it draw more current.

How do I know if a capacitor is bad?

Got an amprobe?

I know many of the Matrix L33's from 2000-2004 will need many of the caps replaced. We have sold tons of replacement caps for these units the last 2 years.
