Just DIYed my MH. Using the Victron set. I have placed the ballast externally just like here http://www.sgreefclub.com/forum/index.php?...=7746&hl=ervine

However, I faced some problems with the grounding. Whenever I ground the external box to the 3-pin earth, my house circuit breaker will trip. When I unearth it, it works fine. I used a test pen test the box and the test pen did not light up.

What shall do? Shall I unearth the 3-pin plug?

Also when I was dismantling the MH, I realised that Victron did not earth as well

Any guru can help?

Yah victron does not do any wiring what... u gotta earth it urself, there's a spare screw in there or something, just wire the earth wire to that...

As for the leak, as per our PMs I'm not too sure what could be wrong but I suspect it's to do with a tiny leak somewhere, check and recheck all metal parts, especially nuts and bolts connecting the parts to the box...
