I would wire them together in a parellel circut. all the lights together, white to white black to black then put your ballast to em. it works like that with my 400 watt mh/hps ballast and 2 250 watt hps bulbs. run 2 hps bulbs with 2 mh bulbs if you can, you get better results.
What else can I help you with?
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 use 14-2 gauge wire for a 1000 watt microwave?
Yes, you can use 14-2 gauge wire for a 1000 watt microwave, as long as it is on a 15 amp circuit. It is important to check the manufacturer's specifications and local electrical codes to ensure proper wiring for the appliance.
How do you test a ballast for fluorescent fixture?
Turn off the power, remove the bulbs, and remove the cover to expose the ballast. If you see tar leaking from the ballast it is bad and must be replaced. If you see no tar then proceed. Use a multimeter to check for continuity. The yellow and blue wires are the power wires and the white wire is neutral. With the meter set to ohms check between the yellow wire and white wire at the end where it connects to the light. If you get no reading the ballast is bad. Now check the other side where power is coming in. No reading and the ballast is bad. If you get a reading at both ends it is good. Check for loose wires.
Does a 1000 watt single pole switch require different wiring than a 600 watt switch?
not unless the wire is exceptionally small, if if is 12 AWG or even 14 AWG you will be ok unless you are using it for a transmission line (unlikely) The smallest wire you can use safely is a 21 AWG wire but that's not a wire used in the walls
What is the comm wire on a ballast?
The common wire on a ballast is used to supply power to the entire lighting fixture. It is typically connected to the incoming power source and distributes power to the individual lamp holders. The common wire ensures that the ballast functions properly and all lamps receive the necessary electricity to produce light.
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.
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.
Is carbon wire still in light bulbs?
Modern light bulbs are made of tungsten wire.
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.
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?
If the ballast has only one wire labeled 220, then this is most likely the hot wire. Connect this wire to one of the wires coming from your double leg breaker. The other wire from the breaker will be connected to the neutral or ground wire of the ballast. Make sure to follow all safety precautions when working with electrical connections.
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.
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.
