Help for Led Panels needed

[abid21]

Hi Everyone
Has anyone had any problems with 600x600 panels.
I fitted some for a client and after a couple of days they have started tripping the MCB.They are on the same circuit but 2 switches and sometimes they seem to be fine but at times they would trip the Mcb.
I have tried to isolate the one with the problem but it seems to be changing and I cannot pinpoint which one it is.The client ordered the lights and the drivers do not seem to be a good quality.
any ideas please.
Thankyou

When do they trip the breaker? During startup or when they've been running a while?

If the client sourced the product, its up to them to deal with the supplier AND to pay for your additional costs......

I'm assuming you've IR'ed the circuit...

When does it trip when they are switched on or when they are already on.

how many panels on the circuit? maybe a C type breaker would cure the problem ( Zs permitting ).

I think that's the route @westward10 and I were heading

There are loads of company's who make awful LED panels on the cheap, offering a 5 year warranty when the company hasn't even been around a year.

Best thing is alway pay a bit extra for a reputable make.

How many panels have you put on one MCB? and what control gear are you using and what make of panel? This is a well know problem and there are a couple of work-arounds for it. So don't panic-yet anyway.

Wheres he gone?

Annoying isn't it.

What sort of breaker is it ?
is it just a standard over current breaker ?
Or is it a RCD type breaker ?

Would love to hear more about this and what 60cm x 60cm panels you would recommend?
