No, not a good idea. You have to use a 347 volt ballast.

How do you wire 347 volts ballast to 110 volt feed?

You don't. A ballast with a 347 volt input is a commercial ballast. The 347 volts comes from a 600 volt three phase four wire Y system. You can change the ballast out to a 120 volt and rewire the unit but in most cases it is cheaper to buy a completely new lighting fixture.


What wire size needed for 120 volt 3000 watt load?

AWG # 10 wire on 30 amp circuit.


How do you wire a 120 volt gfci into a 240 volt three wire?

You can't. The 120 volt GFCI is probably just a 2-wire (hot, neutral and ground) You would have to run a new 3-wire (2 hots, neutral and ground). The two hots are how you get the 240 volts (120+120=240). Also you must make sure the wire is gauged properly. #10 wire for 30 amps, #12 wire for 20 amps, etc.


Will 120 - 277 volt electronic fluorescent ballasts work on 208 volts?

NO! a 120-277 electronic ballast requires one "hot" wire and a neutral from either a 110V or 277V supply. If you supply it with two "hot" wires from a 208 V supply, it will instantly burn up.Yes. A ballast with a specification range of 120 volt to 277 volt will work on 208 volt. These ballast use intelligent voltage sensing technology and it does not matter if the source is a hot and neutral or two (2) hots. Don't believe it? Call a ballast manufacturer instead of giving incorrect answers.


Will GFCI work properly if 240 volt split into one 3 wire 120 volt circuit?

No, a GFCI outlet is designed for use with standard 120-volt circuits. Attempting to use a GFCI outlet with a 240-volt split circuit could cause damage to the outlet, the circuit, and could present a safety hazard. It is not recommended to use a GFCI outlet in this manner.

How do you wire 120 volt 2 bulb 8 ft?

It sounds like you are talking about a two tube eight foot fluorescent fixture. Open the fixture up and you will find a ballast that has probably two yellow wires, two blue wires, two red wires and a black and white wire coming out of it. The 120 volt supply will connect to the black and white wires that protrude out of the ballast. Black ballast to black supply and white ballast to white supply.

What happens if you wire 347 volts to the 120 volt tap on multi tap ballast?

Wiring 347 volts to the 120-volt tap on a multi-tap ballast can cause serious damage to the ballast and connected fixtures. The excessive voltage can lead to overheating, insulation breakdown, and potential failure of the ballast components. This may also pose a fire hazard and could damage the connected lamps or fixtures. It's crucial to always match the voltage rating of the ballast with the supply voltage to ensure safe and proper operation.


What happens if you wire 120 volts to the 277 volt tap on a multi tap ballast?

Operating at half the required voltage, the lamp will not operate at full capacity if it comes on at all.


Why do white wire mark 120v?

Because the white wire on a 120 volt circuit is the neutral wire that is connected to the silver screw on outlets and switches. It is connected to the neutral bar in the service panel.
