well no you cant plug 3 ballasts into one socket really you would be stretching the load of any power bar not just GHL

I wouls suggest if you do want to do this then yes opt for the High amp this saves you a socket and also spreads your load better.

Golden rule is knowing how many amps you are drawing on the power bar in total, which should not exceed for safety 13amps.

So if I plug each ballast into a seperate socket and had them turn on 5 minutes apart would that help spread the load of the initial start up? I run 3X Blueline E-ballast that run at 3.15AMPs

Sorry but to further my last post
If I plug each ballast into S1, S2, and S5 These sockets are rush protected and can handle upto 6.3AMPs. with my Ballast running at 3.15AMPs I should be fine. right?

Jason.

thats right jason. just make sure they go into the in rush amp sockets. if you have them in the other ones it sometimes causes the relays to stick and you have the light stuck on

Hey Michael,

I was wondering if you could find me a copy of the 6 plug digital powerbar instructions. I belive when I got mine it came with a sheet with some operating info on it.

Argh you have series one type power bars then you do need to use High amps on all sockets that are not high in rush protected.

Series 2 have all relays rated at 200amp.

Your new info is important
