Can you tap off a 3 phase 277volt ac light fixture to power a single phase 120 volt ac recptacle?

NO! The voltages available in the 3-phase system are 480 (if you wire phase to phase) and 277 (if you wire phase to neutral) Don't try it!

Can a leak through a ceiling light fixture cause a fire?
Unlikely, but possible- and it IS unsafe.
What is One everyday use of a series circuit?
The average light fixture is likely in series with the light switch, and the utility power grid.
What is the formula for calculating the full current load of a 400 watt metal halide light?
For the amperage of a metal halide fixture look for the nameplate which can be found on the side of the ballast. There it will tell you what the amperage of the fixture draws. Knowing what one fixture draws will allow you to size the lighting circuit for wire and breaker sizes.
Why an electrical device will not work if the neutral is not connected in a single phase system?
To make any electrical circuit work it has to be complete. Source of power to the load, the load itself and a return path from the load back to the source. The source in this case being the distribution panel. Any breaks in this complete path will cause the current to stop flowing and the device to not work. A light fixture and light switch work on this principle, open the circuit and the light goes out.
Are all 480 Volt light fixtures 3 phase or are some single phase?
I do not believe any lighting fixtures of any voltage have ever been made to work off of three-phase circuits. Light Fixtures are always single-phase 2-wire circuits In the USA the standard voltages for branch circuits are: 120, 208, 240, 277 or 480 The light fixture must be rated to match whichever field voltage is being used. Some light fixtures are made multi-rated so they can be used on more than one circuit voltage
How can you attach a 120 v Light Fixture to a 277 v system do I need a ballast so what kinda of ballast?
need a universal voltage ballast 120/277 volt or a 277volt ballast
What is the plural of candelabrum?
The plural of the noun candelabrum is candelabra (candle tree, a light fixture).The term candelabrum refers to a single part of the fixture, or a candlestick, and is seldom used to refer to the fixture.
Is a light bulb considered a fixture?
A fixture is what the light bulb goes into.
How do you spell fancy light fixture?
The correct spelling for a fancy light fixture is "chandelier."
How do you wire a 220 volts light?
The light is wired the same as any voltage fixture. Bring the source voltage to the fixture and connect it to the two fixture wires. If you want to control the off-on of the fixture take the source voltage to a switch first and then out of the switch to the light fixture.
How do you remove the dome from a light fixture?
Take the nut off at the bottom of the light fixture by unscrewing it.
How do you release dome from light fixture in ceiling fan?
Disconnect the fixture wires and remove the central mounting nut to release the dome from the light fixture in a ceiling fan.
What is a key less light fixture?
It just holds the bulb, does not have a switch in the fixture.
Is a lock a fitting or a fixture?
A lock is a fixture, same as a light, sink, tub. A fitting is usually a part of a fixture, or a fixture is made up of fittings.
Bedroom light fixture will not shut off?
The problem is at the wall switch. Over time they corrode which is very dangerous. I assume light is controlled by a single switch and not a 3-way.
Who is responsible for light fixture landlord or tenant?
In side the rental unit if an apartment the tenant, Outside the community If a home or Single family the tenant
Can you connect a wall switch and a light fixture to an existing light fixture?
If the question is, can I wire a switch to an existing light fixture (and I must assume that it's something like a pull-chain light fixture), the answer is yes.If the question is, "how do I wire a switch to an existing light fixture that has no external switch", the answer is, "in series".The attached web site gives simple instructions on how to wire a basic light switch to an existing light.See sources and related links below
