The metal halide light is a commercial fixture. Wire it to 120 volt. 277 volt is the star point voltage of 3 phase 480 volts. Likewise 347 is the starpoint of 3 phase 600 volt. By wiring it to 240 volts the voltage might not be high enough to ignite the lamp. Try it and see, it won't do any harm to the fixture. Make sure that the wires that are not connected are taped off as there will be voltage on them.

∙ 14y agoa lot of the MH fixtures come with multi tap ballasts. if you open fixture and find multiple wires and one that have 240 on it tie it into one hot and the other hot into one of the common wires.

∙ 12y agoNo, the voltage is too low to operate a high discharge ballast. If the lamp is an incandescent with a 277 volt rating then yes it will operate at 240 volts. The lamp will not output its rated wattage at the lower voltage.

∙ 13y agoNo! The ballast must match the branch circuit voltage to operate properly. If the voltage is too low, the lamps may not start, if too high, the ballast will overheat.

∙ 10y agoYes if the bulb fits the socket, but it will be less bright.

Why does twilight cb-500md lighting power control box transformer put out 4 volts when selector switch is off or when in dawn to dusk and it is light out?
The 4 volts is what it takes to operate the light/motion-sensing device and is on so long as there power to the fixture.
What is the power requirement for gps?
It will very depending on the system......most hand helds use 4 AA batteries at 1.5 volts each making 6 volts. A vehicle installed system like the one found at www.findvehicle.net will operate from 8-15 volts but also has an optional solor panel making it a stand alone unit.
What does volts mean on a light bulb?
Electricity in your house or anywhere else comes in volts. When you screw in a light bulb, you screw it in to an electrical socket that has a certain number of volts. The socket can have 3 volts like a flash light, 12 volts like a car, 120 volts like American houses, or 240 volts like some Latin American houses. The light bulb is designed to work with one of those voltages. If you put a 240 volt bulb in a 120 volt socket, it will glow extremely dim. If you put a 120 volt light bulb in a 240 volt socket, it will glow extremely bright, but it will burn out in a short period of time. So you should put a 120 volt bulb in a 120 volt socket. In the United States, you will not have that trouble. However, if you take your yacht to a foreign country, you might put your light bulb in the wrong socket.Another AnswerA lamp will only operate at its rated power when subject to its rated voltage. So, if you want your lamp to operate at its rated power, you must connect it to a supply which provides its rated voltage

How do you grade up micro volts to volts which can operate any small devices?
The voltage can be changed by a transformer, but the power remains constant. So if you have a supply of 1 microvolt, it would have to supply 1 million amps to give a power of 1 watt (power = volts times amps).

What would 0.33 volts power?
Point three three or 1/3rd of a volt will power any piece of equipment that is designed to operate on that voltage. To put it into perspective 1 volt = .33 volts x 3.
