You need to rewire to a lower voltage at panel or get a transformer that steps down 277 to 110 volts. Make sure wire is sized for new load as well as breaker.

Are all 480 Volt light fixtures 3 phase or are some single phase?

I do not believe any lighting fixtures of any voltage have ever been made to work off of three-phase circuits. Light Fixtures are always single-phase 2-wire circuits In the USA the standard voltages for branch circuits are: 120, 208, 240, 277 or 480 The light fixture must be rated to match whichever field voltage is being used. Some light fixtures are made multi-rated so they can be used on more than one circuit voltage


Can you get 110 volts from 277volts?

The voltage of 277 is the wye connection of a 480 volt three phase supply. The only way to reduce 277 to 120 volts is with a step down transformer.


How do you hook up an old traffic light to work off a standard household outlet?

Most traffic and city street lights run on 277 volts. So chances are you cannot power the light from your house power, which is 220 or 208/110 volt.


If you had 277-480 3phase power feed can you still use it to power IT equipment rated at 110-120V?

yes


How can 240 vOLTS power a 277 vOLT light?

Can you use a 277 volt high pressure sodium light in my garage?

Using a 277 volt high pressure sodium light in a garage may not be the best option as it is designed for higher voltage systems typically found in commercial or industrial settings. It may be more appropriate to use a lower voltage light fixture in a residential garage to ensure safe and efficient operation. Make sure to consult with a professional electrician for the best lighting solution for your specific needs.


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.


What is 125 percent of 277?

125% of 277 = 125% * 277 = 1.25 * 277 = 346.25


What is 11.9 percent of 277?

11.9% of 277= 11.9% * 277= 0.119 * 277= 32.963


What is 48 percent of 277?

48% of 277= 48% * 277= 0.48 * 277= 132.96


What is 7 percent of 277?

7% of 277 = 7% * 277 = 0.07 * 277 = 19.39


Do you have a diagram for converting 277 volt light to 110 volt?

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.
