I have a fixture consisting of 3 MH lights, each 250w. I am trying to plug them in to the same surge protector and after starting up, they blow the surge protector after about 2 minutes. The room is has a 15 amp breaker and 750 watts of MH is less than 7 amps. I can run 2 lights all day....add the 3rd and the whole unit shuts down.
Should I plug 2 in to one surge protector and one in the other? I don't think I'm over powering the 15a room breaker. Ideas?
