ya I agree with this. Have 5 1000w digitals running for 6 months now and haven't had anyone stop by. My house stinks too my neighbors tell me all the time. They just think I smoke a lot lolHint: Whoever stopped by really doesn't work for the cable company.
yes. The ground is a key part of how they shield the ballasts internals.I checked the wiring to my beaker and found the ground wire was pretty loose, I just pulled it out of the bus. Fixed that, going to do an am radio test to see if that fixed anything. If not then I guess I better start digging through the storage shed for some magnetic ballasts.
Do you think the ground being loose could have caused the issue?
10 years ago I would have flown home and tore everything down on the spot and moved. I am in Colorado so hopefully I am just fucking everyone’s signal up like a douchbag. I figure if it was going to be trouble they would have hit me last week when it went down. Crossing my fingers though of course.Hint: Whoever stopped by really doesn't work for the cable company.
You're tripping. Multiple members have chimed in saying they have had the same complaint from the cable company. Cmon man, it's almost 2020. You really think feds/cops/thieves are going to go undercover as the cable guy to bust a grow?Hint: Whoever stopped by really doesn't work for the cable company.
As I was wiring my breaker up I realized the cable had only three wires. These connect to a double post 50 amp. One red one black and one copper wire are all that are there. I am starting to think it should be four wires with a red black white and copper. Did the electrician screw me by installing my light controller with the wrong cable? This might cause the rf issue??So the ground didn't fix the issue? Might use the phone to test, maybe just one ballast is bad if the ground didn't fix it. If you have been running those phantoms for a while and they just now came at you with the RFI complaint then something changed, so either the wiring change you did or a ballast somehow went bad and is emitting the RFI.
The white wire isn't required for a 240 volt circuit as it doesn't need a neutral. The neutral is only used for 120 volt feeds.As I was wiring my breaker up I realized the cable had only three wires.

No problem buddy! I like helping people out. Thats why I am here.Can’t thank you enough dude!!
If those appliances interfere with others cable service the cable company has the right to pull your service.Are you under any specific obligation from the cable company to change the appliances you use inside your house?
