∙ 16y agoThe timer has to be multi-pole. The ballast must be connected to the load contacts of the timer. If the timer is a 120 Volt timer, the timer has to run on a 120V. circuit. Loads are loads, and as long as you have a multi-load timer you can hook up whatever you want. If the timer only works on a shared power source (load shares the timer supply) you will need to use a contactor on the load side or the timer.

∙ 16y agoThe ballast for strip lighting is in the wire raceway. Strip lighting is bolted together in sections. Every section has a ballast for ever set of lamps that hang below the wire way. When wired, these ballasts are all parallel connected together and when sourced with voltage they will all come on at once. The whole strip of lighting will illuminate.
Yes, polarity is always important. Many under cabinet fluorescent fixtures are small enough to use a small transformer rather than a ballast. But even then, the transformer will have a longer life if it's wired with correct polarity.
You likely wired it wrong. Not sure what you mean by "fizzle out".
series
Loads or power-consuming devices are usually wired
A defrost control typically.
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.

A 555 timer is a chip that can be wired to different ways many different ways the main being a pulse generator it keeps repeating because it is pulsing the current on and off. this is used in burglar alarms ect
In North America a receptacle with horizontal blades is rated for 15 amps 240 volts. These types of receptacles are usually dedicated circuits for specialized equipment. There is one that is used for air conditioners that is rated for up to 2 horsepower. The timer plugs into the 240 volt receptacle and the air conditioner plugs into the timer. There are also timers that can be hard wired into the circuit that will do the job. Do a search for Intermatic HB112 heavy duty 24-hour plug-in analog timer.See related links below
If the 250 watt bulb is a HID or similar type the ballast comes complete with the fixture. The bulb socket is also part of the fixture and comes pre-wired to the socket. To connect the bulb to the fixture all that has to be done is just screw it into the fixture's socket.

More information is needed to answer this. We need the ballast and bulb type. If this ballast is not made to do what you want then it should not be done. It can cause damage to the ballast and cause fire.
The long, tubular ones usually rotate and slide out. The curly ones have standard light fittings. Remember to dispose of the old bulb in a designated re-cycling container for them because they contain mercury which will harm people if it gets into the environment (do not break the tubes).
Yes, a two-tube fluorescent fixture can be wired to have only one tube. You would need to disconnect the ballast and sockets for the tube you are removing, and then rewire the remaining tube to the power source. Make sure to follow proper safety procedures and consult an electrician if needed.
No, a 277V ballast is designed to work with a 277V power supply, while a 120V ballast is designed to work with a 120V power supply. Using a 277V ballast with a 120V power supply can damage the ballast and may cause safety issues. It is important to match the voltage of the ballast with the voltage of the power supply.
Lyrica is pregabalin. Many people report comparing it to the effects of alcohol, or of being wired, while others report feeling heavy.
