Energy Bar 8 not working!

[Reefrookie733]

Hello,
One of my outlets on my Energy Bar has stopped working? Is this a common thing? It appears its only one outlet and #8 outlet. I plugged that connection into another outlet and it works fine, but nothing seems to work in that specific outlet. Any suggestions??

Thanks!

I have seen it a lot in the old "Black original" EB8's. I think its more of a how much was that outlet used kinda thing. They for sure wear out over time.

The original EB8 used Triacs on the outlets, which did wear out. However, outlet #8 is a relay based outlet which were less likely to fail.

What was plugged in?

My two tunze powerheads and curve 7 skimmer. Maybe i overloaded it? I would think it would trip the entire circuit?

Were they switched often or just left on?

Larger inductive kicks from pumps will slowly wear the original circuit.

They were just left on. I controlled the powerheads through my Apex.
