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.

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.


Will 120 - 277 volt electronic fluorescent ballasts work on 208 volts?

No, 120-277 volt electronic fluorescent ballasts are designed to operate within that voltage range only. Using them on 208 volts may damage the ballast and could potentially be a safety hazard. It is recommended to use a ballast that is rated for 208 volts.


Can you run a 60 watt light bulb on a 300 volt wire?

If your light bulb voltage rating is under 300 volts then yes it can use 300 volt wire. The voltage rating of the wire is the maximum voltage that the wire can safely carry. The three common insulation groups is 300 volts, 600 volts and 1000 volts.


Can a 125 volt cable power a 120 volt piece of equipment?

The first thing we have to do is clarify the question. A cable rating of 125 volts is an insulation rating of the wire. Like wire with ratings of 300 volts, 600 volts and 1000 volts these are the highest allowable voltages that can be applied. A wire that is rated for 300 volts is good for 120 volts, 240 volts and 277 volts. At test research facilities, equipment is tested to destruction. The label that is given to wire as a result of the tests is the highest safest voltages that can be applied to that particular wire. So when you see a wire that has a label stating that it is rated for 300 volts it means that any voltage under and up to 300 volts is safe to apply. So to answer the question yes, the 125 volt insulation rating on the cable can be used to supply a source of 120 volts to a 120 volt rated piece of equipment.


Can you use 240 volts with a 120 volt supply?

No, it is not possible to use 240 volts with a 120 volt supply directly. You would need a transformer to step up the voltage from 120 volts to 240 volts. Attempting to use 240 volts with a 120 volt supply without a transformer can damage equipment and pose a safety hazard.

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

Yes, but it will not work.


How do I wire T8 multi volt lights fixtures to 220 volts?

The terminology T8 suggests to me that the fixture is a fluorescent fixture. These types of tube fixtures need a ballast to make the tubes ignite. If you are trying to operate this type of fixture on 220 volts, you will need a ballast that requires a 240 volts input voltage source.


What happens if you wire 120 volts to the 277 volt tap on a multi tap ballast?

Operating at half the required voltage, the lamp will not operate at full capacity if it comes on at all.


Will 120 - 277 volt electronic fluorescent ballasts work on 208 volts?

No, 120-277 volt electronic fluorescent ballasts are designed to operate within that voltage range only. Using them on 208 volts may damage the ballast and could potentially be a safety hazard. It is recommended to use a ballast that is rated for 208 volts.


What is a 277 volt fluorescent fixture?

A 277 volt lighting fixture is one that is usually used in an industrial application. The reason for this is the voltage rating. A voltage potential of 277 volts is the voltage to neutral (ground) of a three phase four wire 480 volt distribution system. 480 volts / 1.73 = 277 volts. Rather than having to add a transformer to the system to provide 120 volts for lighting, manufactures produced a ballast for fluorescent fixtures that operates on the 227 volt potential.

When trouble shooting a single pahse 208 volt hid ballast with your voltmeter you read 120 volts to ground on each phase wire but 0 volts across the phase wires what is wrong?

Sounds like both phase wires are connected to the same phase.

Is a 300 volt wire good to connect a range?

The 300 volt insulation rating on wire is the maximum amount of voltage that can be applied to that wire. If your range falls within that range then it is safe to use. Some commercial ranges use 480 and 575 volts. For theses types of ranges the 300 volt wire will not do, it will have to be wire with a conductor whose insulation rating is 600 volts or greater.
