The question is meaningless. Voltage is a measure of electrical pressure, so it must be measured between two points.

In many systems, the chassis is used to complete the circuit by providing a return path. In most automotive or truck applications, this is the case. This saves materials cost by needing fewer wires.

In those systems, the voltage is measured between ground and the point of interest, but if there is a break in the path along the chassis, the results will be unreliable.

Can you connect a 277V ballast to 208V line service?

No. A 277 volt ballast needs the correct voltage to operate. The 277 voltage is derived from the star point voltage of a 480 volt three phase system (277/480). The 208 voltage is a three phase line voltage whose star-point voltage is 120 volts (120/208).

What is the difference between voltage forward voltage and voltage drop?

Voltage is the potential difference between the source & any point in the circuit. The forward voltage is the voltage drop across the diode if the voltage at the anode is more positive than the voltage at the cathode (if you connect + to the anode). Voltage drop means, amount of voltage by which voltage across load resistor is less then the source voltage.


What is the voltage between point p and the battery?

The voltage between point p and the battery is not able to measured exactly. You can never measure the absolute electric potential at any point. its just not possible. That is why we talk about difference in potential.
