First thing I'd do is put a monitor on it to see if it's an overload or a short.

What is the max recorded current draw?

Yep, makes a big difference. If it's a short, it might mean there is something wrong in the circuit, like maybe a power supply if it's LV lights on the tracks, and it takes 3 weeks for it to over heat enough to make something short out. I had one like that.


If it's an over load, it might also be that there is some sort of cyclical load that only comes on every 3 weeks or so and causes a low voltage condition, then because this track light circuit is close to the limit, that pushes it over.

Or maybe its a bank robber tapping into the track lighting circuit for his power drill or grinder, and he can only get time off of work every 3 weeks to work on making his hole.

When the circuit is on and holding, what is the current on the conductors?

I have had simulair problems
Caused by breakers running
Close to there maximum limit.
Some breakers simply don't like it
Thus causing nuisance tripping.
What size breaker
What size cable
What is amp load on circuit.

It took three weeks for enough water from the leaking A/C condenser on the roof to short the track out.

How about this. Every three weeks they polish the floor and somewhere on the floor polishing forum someone is complaining that everytime they start polishing the floor, some ghost that was killed in a bank robbery, turns off the machine and the lights.

Ok, but if #13 trips on Friday the 13th, your choice of ppe should be>>
