Can a hps light fixture be plugged in to a regular outlet?
If the ballast of the HPS fixture has a 120 volt tap then, yes it can be plugged into a 120 volt receptacle.
Can a 220V light fixture be used in the US?
Yes, you can easily use it. Just install it as you would any other 120 volt light fixture and change the bulb from a 240 volt bulb to a 120 volt bulb. It will work just fine.
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.
Does 240 volt have a neutral wire?
Yes <<>> In North America, a three wire 120/240 volt system uses a neutral wire. For 240 volts two "hot" wires are used with no neutral.
Can you take a 120 volt ballast and use it in a 277 volt light?
Yes, if there is a 208 volt connection on the multi tap ballast. One side of the 208 to the common terminal and the other side of the 208 supply to the 208 volt lead. As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed. Before you do any work yourself,on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized. IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOBSAFELY AND COMPETENTLYREFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS.

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.
Can you wire a 120 volt ballast to a 347 volt circuit?
No, not a good idea. You have to use a 347 volt ballast.
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
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.
Can you use a 277 volt high pressure sodium light in my garage?
Not unless you have 277 volts in your garage. Open the fixture and check the ballast. Some of the commercial fixtures have multi tap connections for different voltages. If 120 or 240 volt tap is present then you can use the fixture.
Is it possible to convert a 220 volt light a 110 volt by changing the ballast?
Is it incandescent or flourescent? If it's incandescent it will work okay--it'll be dim but it will work. A fluorescent probably wouldn't fire. Now having said that, if this is a European lamp google "110v European base bulbs" and you'll find light bulbs that work on 110v but have bases that screw into European sockets. Just change the plug on the lamp and you're golden.
Does a 277 volt fluorescent fixture cost less to operate than a 120 volt fixture?
Not necessarily. It's the wattage of the lamps that determine how much power is used. 277V lighting merely allows for more lights to be on a circuit than if they were on a 120V. The current that is printed on the ballast, times the voltage the ballast is connected to, is what determines the cost to operate the fixture. This is the true wattage of the fixture. The wattage of the lamps are independent as new electronic ballasts can power a numerous amount of tubes of various wattages.
What is a 277 volt fluorescent fixture?
A 277 volt lighting fixture is one that is usually used in an industrial application. The reason for this is the voltage rating. A voltage potential of 277 volts is the voltage to neutral (ground) of a three phase four wire 480 volt distribution system. 480 volts / 1.73 = 277 volts. Rather than having to add a transformer to the system to provide 120 volts for lighting, manufactures produced a ballast for fluorescent fixtures that operates on the 227 volt potential.
Will 277V work with a 120V ballast?
The impedence of the ballast is system voltage dependent to allow required current to pass through the light fixture. If system voltage changes, the current passing through the light fixture changes, therefore to get designed output from the fixture, the ballast has to be changed.
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.
Holophane ballast re400mh48hrw how do i wire them and are they 120 or 220?
On your model number the figures after 400MH are the voltages for that ballast. A 40 represents 240 volts, 12 represents 120 volts and yours 48 represents 480 volts. Looks like this is a industrial fixture and not meant for residential use.
