There should be a label on the old ballast. If so take down all the information for amperage and voltage. You should then be albe to get a replacement at any Lowes, Menards, Home Depot, any other home improvent or electrical supply store.
Depends if ballast is in fixture and switch is on. Several watts if new ballast and perhaps 15 watts for old ballasts....
The voltage of your area is what determines the operating voltage of all equipment. Equipment from other countries usually has to use a transformer to get the correct voltage. The voltage on a fluorescent fixture is printed on the ballast of the fixture. See if the voltage on the ballast matches the supply voltage of the system that you are going to use to operate the fixture.
To answer this question the voltage of the ballast must be stated and the type of lamp in the fixture.
need a universal voltage ballast 120/277 volt or a 277volt ballast

Make sure you are using a metal halide bulb and the ballast is matched to the wattage on the bulb. These both must be correct.

Ballasts can be quite different even if you order a replacement part for a specific fixture. You need to follow the wiring diagram on the new ballast. If this is confusing or not easy to follow, you need a competent electrician to do this for you.

The end sockets have to be rewired. The schematic for the rewire is on the ballast label.
If the 250 watt bulb is a HID or similar type the ballast comes complete with the fixture. The bulb socket is also part of the fixture and comes pre-wired to the socket. To connect the bulb to the fixture all that has to be done is just screw it into the fixture's socket.

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.
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.
Yes, but it will not work.
