Edge Strobes Blowing Fuse

Hello all!


I have a B-Link Edge 10000 bar that I have had up and running now for a while, with no issues. However recently while the light was on, one of the internal 15A fuses blew that controls three of the strobes on the back (positions 2, 5, and 7 strobes, all part of the built in TA). I opened it up and replaced the fuse, and as soon as it came back on, the fuse blew again. You know that classic sound that strobes make as they flash? When the fuse blows, you here that sound louder than usual just one time (and it seems to resonate from the inside of the bar, rather than the lamps), then that circuit dies. I don't want to keep replacing fuses, just to have them blow again immediately. The bar has sat on a shelf, and hasnt been moved since I got it working, so I am not sure why suddenly it is deciding to act up. Every other circuit/lamp seems to be working flawlessly.


Thoughts? Ideas? Thanks guys!

It would seem that the power supply has issues. Can you test the supply on a different set of tubes and see if it keeps popping fusses. That will tell you what has gone bad, the light heads or the PS. ( you may also have a wire that is grounding to the frame.)
