347V multi tap ballasts

[chris kennedy]

Just an observation. Today I was assembling some parking lot heads and the Advanced ballast in the fixture had 3 taps.

120V, 277V, and 347V.

Really nice fixtures but the first time I was faced with those 3 choices.

600 volt / 1.73 = 346.82.


O Canada!
Our home and native land!
True patriot love in all thy sons command.
With glowing hearts we see thee rise,
The True North strong and free!

That scary part is that I have your voice in my head singing this.

Those crazy Canadians and their 600 volt systems. I kinda wish we had them here.

anyway let get back to the topic for now.

The reason why the CEC { Canada Electrical Code } did not allow new luminaries to be line to line format anymore due the issue with shell grounding { that part I will have to get ahold of Canadian electrician to confirmed the code number on this one }

The Canada verison do not allowed 208-240v with common ballast unless it is a CWI verison.

Merci,Marc

Snowbirding keeps the wings in shape !

Things to be aware of in cahoots with the Canadians- CEC is Canada Electrical Code

Things to be aware of in cahoots with the Americans- CEC is California Energy Commission

Anyone seen the World Electrical Code??? /sarc]

You shouldn't be jealous. Half the time when you install a pump + controller skid it shows up spec'd for 480. The 600 > 480 xfrmers are a regular sighting 'round here.
