[Amps] titan 425 dimming, drop in power, hv

[Alek Petkovic]

Here's a total stab in the dark.

Does it have a step start resistor/relay setup?

If so, the relay may not be coming in or the contacts ar not making, 
which will leave the resistor in circuit. When you draw current through 
it for a prolonged period, it will get might hot and perhaps be the 
cause of that smoke.

73 and good luck.
