My PC's aren't working. They are Hamiltons 96w square pins. Both bulbs are brand new. Neither bulbs will light, tried switching them around, nothing. I opened the ballast and tested EVERY connection. Also opened the light fixture and tested those connections as well. I went so far as to insert the bulbs and test the pins while they are plugged in.
With the bulbs out, I get 130v out of the top 2 pin receptacles and 30v from the bottom 2 (that I find odd). Both readings are the same at the other bulbs plug, only the bottom pins have the 130v and the top have 30v.
Is my Ballast out? I have power going to the bulbs so I hoped not. However, why is there any reading at all coming from the "open circuit" side of each plug when the bulbs are removed and powered on?
Thoughts? Thanks in advance.
Highly frustrated!!!
