Cause
Tripped breaker or GFCI
Solution
Reset circuit breaker in main panel or the GFCI usually
located in a bathroom, garage, or kitchen.
Cause
Ground problem or defective GFCI
Solution
Use a high-grade model such as the Hubbell #GF5252I.
Cause
Cut cable or short
Solution
Test cable for voltage. If none, it is cut. If there is very low
voltage and the cable is hot, there is a short. Check all
fixtures and splices for defects
Cause
Excessive voltage at lamp
Solution
Drop the affected cable run down to the next lower voltage
tap or increase wattage load on that cable to drop voltage.
Also, some lamps are rated for a very short life such as the
4414 (300 hours). Use halogen lamps.
Cause
Excessive voltage at lamp
Solution
The closest lamp will always have a higher voltage reading
than the last lamp. Cable fixtures so that there is about 40'
from first to last within a lighting zone. See system layout for
details.
