My NORRSKEN lights off. I push the reset fuse button and works but after aprox. 7 minutes it lights off again. What can I do? Thank you very much. Nano.

Hi Nano, I don't actually have a Norrsken myself, but I do have a background in electric 'stuff'.

There are two possible reasons why a light fixture would trip the reset button -- there is an overload, or the protection circuit itself is defective.

Protection circuits do fail over time - usually when they are tripped a number of times. They simply start to trip at lower levels, possibly at levels of normal operation. This is likely NOT your problem, but it will be a factor if you keep resetting it and running it.

Overloads happen in two ways - immediate, and after it runs for a few minutes (warms up, then trips off). Immediate overloads are usually shorted wires. The warm-up scenario you have is likely caused by running too close to the limit of the circuit -- too much load on the power pack. Sometimes the power packs will degrade over time, and can't handle the load they used to.

So, if you can try removing one or more of the light fixture from your Norrsken (assuming you are willing to run with one less), try lower wattage bulbs if they are available, or try to get a replacement power pack.

I vaguely remember something about the power packs being a bit of a problem on some of the low voltage light fixtures, but do not know if this is the one. Maybe someone with more direct experience can chime in.
