currently working in a restaurant at the mo till i sort my self out with a job.
got a problem with the neon "bar open" lights, theres 3 of them around the perimeter of the restaurant, just started tripping off tonite. at first it's everynow n then, but now its instant. its on a c10 breaker, 3 neon "bar open" signs, and inside bar lights. The neons are connected by plugs, with a switch on the bar to operate the sockets on/off. I've narrowed it down to one neon bar sign. all the rest are fine when there on. So i was wondering if someone could explain about neons, and whether when they faultly or of age, that they start to draw more and more power, causing it to trip (overload?). Is my diagonistic correct that its probably the neon? or could it be something else? your thoughts....
note: I've only been doing electrics for a year, so i havnt really come across problems, as i've usually just done new installations.
regards luke
