Do you see what I mean? Don't help this person run a 240v line if he's already bought 120v ballasts............. is all. |
OK let try to get beyond this, flo said he is running 3=600w at 5amps each, 15amp total on a 20amp breaker, kinda pushing the envelope, like spark said breakers will handle 80% of their load, which would be 16amps, I really wouldnt be pushing it imo, then he asked about running it 240v so he can lower the amperage...any ballast thats over A certain wattage(250watt I think) can be wired 120v OR 240v, when you start getting into the higer wattage ballasts (400 plus) they also have a multi tap ballast, which means it can be wired either 120v,240v,277v,or 480v
