Unless the ballast is a multi tap primary you can not rewire it for 220 volts.

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.


How does a 400w hps ballast work?

The inductive ballast is made up of a coiled wire. The coil creates a magnetic field inside when a current is applied. It stores the energy of the current in the magnetic field it creates. This way it controls the output current that continues on to the light. The store of energy also helps in the starting of the light when it is off, by sending an extra volt of electricity when the current first starts into the coil.


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.


What advantages does an eight volt ballast connected coil have for 6 and 8 cylinder engines?

It will give a hotter spark when cranking if the coil gets full battery voltage while the starter is engaged.


Can you wire a 347 volt ballast to a 120 volt fixture?

Yes, but it will not work.


Is there an adapter that will make a 110 volt refrigerator receptacle into a 220 volt?

No. You need to rewire the circuit from the electric panel.


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 no volt coil?

no volt coils are used to de-energise a contactor should a situation arise in which voltage is zero


What happens if you use a 12 volt coil with a 6 volt system?

Probably not much because 6 Volts is not enough to power a 12 Volt coil


Can you rewire a mixer 120 volt motor to run a 220 volts?

No, you will need a commercial mixer for that.


Do you replace the coil from a 6 volt to a 12 volt when converting from 6 volt to a 12 volt system?

Yes. Since the coil is run at full voltage when starting 12 volts may be too much for a 6 volt ignition coil. It would be at about 8 volts when running. There is a starting resistor.


Will a 220 volt ballast operate from a 230 volt source?

Yes, 220 volts is in the same voltage classification as 230 volts.
