It sounds like the fixture that you acquired was from an industrial site. 277 volts is the star point voltage of a 480 three phase system. You will have to change the ballast out to the proper voltage that you need. If you want to spend some money you can get a step up auto transformer to make the conversion but the cost would off set the cost of a new fixture many times.

How many watts of lighting is required in a 15' x 10' room?

'Lighting', or the amount of light is not measured in watts. A 'watt' is a unit of power, measurement of current drawn. Most 100 watt/110 volt lamps initially produce 1690 lumens (a 'lumen' is the measure of the total "amount" of visible light emitted by a source). A 15 foot by 10 foot room is not very big, and one or two 100 watt incandescent lamps on a ceiling light fixture on a 120 volt service can light it adequately. I mention "110 volt" as in parts of the world with 220 mains these numbers change. As the voltage is doubled, the watts required would halve for the same amount of light. In other words, all other things being equal, a 50 watt 220 volt lamp should use the same amount of power, producing the same amount of light as a 100 watt 110 volt lamp.


Is France 110 volt or 220 volt?

France uses 220-240 volts for their electrical system.


Can you connect 110 volt circuit breaker to 220 volt circuit?

No, you cannot directly connect a 110-volt circuit breaker to a 220-volt circuit. Circuit breakers are designed for specific voltage ratings, and using a 110-volt breaker on a 220-volt circuit can lead to improper operation, potential equipment damage, or safety hazards. If you need to work with a 220-volt circuit, you should use a breaker rated for that voltage. Always follow electrical codes and consult a qualified electrician for such modifications.


How can you plug my 220 dryer inTo the existing 110 Plug?

To safely connect a 220-volt dryer to a 110-volt outlet, you cannot directly plug it in, as the voltage and amperage requirements are different. Instead, you should consult a licensed electrician to either install a dedicated 220-volt outlet or use a transformer that can convert the voltage appropriately. Attempting to use a 220-volt appliance with a 110-volt outlet can damage the appliance and pose a serious safety hazard.

How do you wire a 230 volt contactor with a 110 volt coil?

To wire a 230 volt contactor with a 110 volt coil, you need to connect the 110 volt power supply to one terminal of the coil and the neutral wire to the other terminal of the coil. Ensure that the contactor is rated for use with a 110 volt control circuit. Additionally, verify the wiring diagram provided with the contactor for proper connection details.
