What does Have a care where there is more sail than ballast truly mean?
Brogman
This quote is from William Penn's 1682, Fruits of Solitude. It means that your concern has more substance than appearance; It's sincere. Less show (i.e. sail) and more substance (i.e. ballast).

Can you wire a 220v ballast with a 220 stinger and a neutral Or two 110 hot legs just the same?
A stinger is linemen terminology. Do you mean transformer instead of ballast. Please be more explicit as to what you are doing.
Why does magnetic ballast take more power than an electronic ballast?
Because it wastes less energy in the form of heat.
How can you find out if your fluorescent lights are using too many amps?
The amperage is printed on the ballast. If your meter reads higher that that what is printed there, then the ballast is drawing more amps that it should.
Is a T8 ballast and T8 bulb more efficient then a T12 ballast and a T8 bulb?
In a T* ballast and T8 bulb more energy efficient then a T12 ballast and a T8 bulb? A:Depends on the CURRENT through the tube. When the Tube is run at 100% of rating, The T12 Takes more CURRENT to give a certain Brightness. Because the surface of the T8 is closer to the ion stream through the tube, it takes less CURRENT to light up the T8 to the same brightness. However, IF you use a T12 in a T8 ballast, you will get LESS CURRENT through the tube, and LESS POWER consumed ALONG with LESS Light.
How do you describe friends are your life?
If your friends are truly your life, then you wouldn't need to tell them. A simple definition would be that everything is focused on them and you care more about them then yourself.
There's this girl she's VERY TRULY mean and I can't seem to get her back What do I do?
you don't. because than that makes you VERY TRULY mean. what's more rewarding is responding nicely to them despite their meanness, you'll drive them crazy!
What is the average depth of gravel under the railroad tracks?
The average depth of the ballast varies from about 12 inches to 18 inches on well maintained lines. It can be more depending on drainage needs. When a railroad wants to raise a track they frequently use more ballast to gain the additional height. On the other hand some poorly maintained lines may have much less ballast. Spur tracks also might not have as much ballast as a main line.
How do you replace ac ballast where emergency ballast present?
First you need to determine if it's the ballast that's bad or the emergency ballast. The emergency ballast can go bad and cause the bulbs not to work or not all of them to work depending on the lights wiring setup. Push the test button on the emergency ballast which should have a red glowing indicator light. If all the lights illuminate slightly, change the emergency ballast. It's best to buy the exact ballast for this repair. i.e. If it's a T8 3 lamp fixture. Buy a T8 3 lamp ballast not a 4. You can use a 4 in place of a 3 lamp, but the 3 lamp will be more user friendly. Easiest way is to note what wires go to what. Draw a diagram if you have to and just simply match them back up.
What does it mean when a girl tells you that only time will tell when you tell her that you are falling for her?
When a girl says "only time will tell" after being told that you are falling for her, she may be unsure about her feelings or not ready to commit yet. It could mean that she needs more time to assess her emotions and see how the relationship develops before making any decisions.
What does Lady Gaga care most about?
she is very passionette about music- and she stated that the only thing she truly cares about is what her fans think of her. She loves her fans more than anything.
What is the quote in one of the books of the Twilight series where Bella and Edward are sitting at the table and Bella tells Edward she thinks she loves him more than he loves her?
Edward said, "Do you truly believe that you care more for me than I do for you?"
What the difference between ballast and transformer?
A transformer changes the amperage and / or voltage. It literally "Transforms" electrical energy. A ballast is like a capacitor. Think of a ballast as a short-term battery. It stores power then releases it as needed. A common example of a ballast is on fluorescent lights. Initially, a fluorescent light needs a big blast of energy to excite the gas molecules into emitting photons (light). Then it only needs a small amount of energy to keep the gas molecules in an excited state. However, that power has to be of consistent amperage and voltage. The ballast is designed to do that. The electrical ballast stores energy in the same way that a water ballast stores water for stability. Because the electrical ballast stores far more power than the device it regulates requires, it too provides a kind of electrical stability. That's why you often see a fluorescent light flicker or "lose stability" when the ballast starts to go bad. A transformer transforms voltage and amperage up or down. A ballast provides a stabile power supply.
