I don't got one but I can tell you that if your run anything on a cord that too light of a gauge. Also the longer the cord the thicker it needs to be. Sounds like BS but I fried a small window unit one time running it on a piddly ass little cord.I remember a few months ago a couple of you guys that are running prism 315w cmh ballasts that are running HOT. Mine are now doing it as well. 124-127 over 4 ballasts.
I have contacted the company u bought my 8 prism ballasts from. They have had many calls about this issue. I'm still waiting for "Frank" to return my call about this issue.
If any of you guys that run the prism ballast, and are running HOT, please post up and please contact the place you got the ballast from. They are aware of the issue, and say it's a design flaw due to the small fins on the case. Per "Franks" words. I was asked if u could put a fan blowing on my ballasts. I said NO. I shouldn't have to make special arrangements for a fn ballast. None of my prevoius 9x600w hps/mh ballasts ever needed a fan, and its 2x the power.
A weak connection could do it too. Check the prongs coming out of the plug see if they're loose in there.I remember a few months ago a couple of you guys that are running prism 315w cmh ballasts that are running HOT. Mine are now doing it as well. 124-127 over 4 ballasts.

What's up DT? Sorry, I just came across this. I have been hunting a ton and not participating here much... but I'm back!If anyone's is running 120*+, please co tact the place you bought it from and bring it to their attention.
My 2x in veg are 8' high, hitting 117*.
My 4x in flower have 77* exhaust blowing over them. Temps are about 102*. I' not too worried about them. They works great, net me huge fn yields, and haven' broke yet.
MOUNTING LOCATION - DO NOT install ballasts in areas of high heat, such as an attic or a closed closet. DO NOT mount the ballast to the reflector or blow exhaust air over them. DO NOT stack ballasts on top of each other. DO NOT allow contact with water. Mount units at least six inches apart. If a unit has any leaking resin, please relocate to a cooler area or place a fan near the ballasts.This is from their instructions.
kind of contradictory?Dont blow exhaust air over them but do place a fan near them.All electronics should be kept cool if possible,heat degrades them.
