The white wire on the supply side. There isn't a common on the output side of the ballast.

Is a wire marked comm a ground wire?

Probably not. We'd need to know what the wire goes to in order to be certain about this.


When connecting chain switch what is done with the neutral wire and white wire from ballast?

The neutral wire from the chain switch is connected to the white wire from the ballast. They should be connected together using a wire nut to ensure proper circuit completion and safe operation of the light fixture.


How do I wire a 220v ballast when it has only 1 wire labeled 220 when I have 2 wires coming off of my double leg breaker?

Your ballast should show two wires for supply side of ballast. Make sure that neither side of this is grounded to the light and connect the 220 V from your breaker to these two wires and then connect a ground to the chassis of the light from the panel.


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

No, you cannot wire a 120 volt ballast to a 347 volt circuit. The ballast is designed to operate at a specific voltage, in this case 120 volts, and connecting it to a higher voltage circuit like 347 volts can damage the ballast and pose a safety hazard. It is important to match the voltage rating of the ballast to the circuit it will be connected to.


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 should I properly wire a fluorescent light ballast?

To properly wire a fluorescent light ballast, follow these steps: Turn off the power to the light fixture. Remove the old ballast and disconnect the wires. Match the wire colors from the new ballast to the corresponding wires in the fixture. Use wire connectors to secure the connections. Mount the new ballast in place. Turn the power back on and test the light. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions and consult a professional if needed.

How can 5 fluorescent lights be connected together?

Connect them in parallel. The black wire from the ballast to the black line wire. The white wire from the ballast to the line neutral. Connect the ground wire to the ground screw which is located in the body of the fixture. Grounding of the fixtures is essential.

Where is the ballast resistor on a 1972 Ford F-250?

I was told that the ballast resister is a twisted wire within the distributor cap area.

Does a ballast use electricity if no bulbs are present?

If you mean the ballast in a fluorescent light fitting where the ballast is wired in series with the tube, the answer is "No". Explanation: If no tube is in place, the light fitting's circuit is "open" so there is nothing to take any current from the "hot" supply wire and return it to the "neutral" wire.


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

Yes, but it will not work.


What do you do with the extra blue wire on a replacement ballast?

Cap the extra wire with the appropriate size wire nut so that it will not short out against grounded objects.


How do you change points distributor to electronic distributor on 72 Monte Carlo 350 engine?

The original wire that goes to the + side of the coil will either be a steel wire or have a ballast resistor inline to cut the voltage to the points. You don't want that with an HEI. Either substitute a copper wire for the steel wire, or remove the ballast resistor and install the HEI.
