Is this 2 much for a 200 amp service

Your not an electrician, I suggest you shut yer mouth. You didnt even multiply the amps right, you were off by almost 4 lights. IF ANYONE EVER TELLS YOU "PROBABLY" WHEN IT COMES TO ELECTRICITY DO NOT LISTEN TO THEM! I guarantee you he does not know. Anybody who says maybe, or well see, or let's see how it goes, or probably, does not understand they are putting YOUR life in danger. 117!!!! PLUS 30amps PER AC IS 207 AMPS.... yeah you'll probably be ok... gtfo here cant even add & you wanna tell the guy hell probably be ok. Both of you are perfect examples of why we have electrical fires in grow spots.
Thanks man I appreciate the input. My electrician must of not been good at math ether becuz he said I would be good.
I mean if your not running everything at once (say like two rooms on a flip schedule) you will be ok. But if your running all of that theres no way. Sorry I ranted, kinda caught me in a mood lol.
Your fine. I know running to much power is dangerous to me and other around me. So I was making sure. If I was ok. Do u think if I turned like 10 lights on 400 Watts I’d be good
Main breaker like your whole house loses power?
Only reason i responded is because my kids a fireman and rolls on growfires daily,sometimes more than one,always electrical.Yea watch the news, “ thc farmer forum members house up in flames”
Lol. I hope never to see that news bro! Scary that I actually known few folks that have burned their houses down due to too many lights or making bho! And smoking smh! Like really wtf:)
Quick question? Did they guy that installed the contactors run an amp load test? Say turn on each and check and note what the load to each is? I’d say perhaps one bad ballast exists, it will pull “ more then designed” amps, would indicate what and where the draw is and what maybe causing this issue. You can do this easily with a amp meter, turn on one and see if that draws the right amps and or if the mains trip. . Likely u will find which one is causing the issue. Isolate and turn everything on and see if that stabilizes . If not then the incoming power maybe an issue. I’ve had a rental property that exhibited that issue , turned out to be a loose neutral from incoming side on the pole. But I do suggest a licensed electrician check it out. Don’t burn ya house down bro! !
