We have a client who installed a AB fusible switch motor starter/contactor, complete package with heater, overloads and adjustable trip. However, the tenant installed this to power and protect (8) 1000watt metal halide on a roof. Voltage is 480V3PH. There's no apparent tripping but the 480V photocell that open/closes the contactor is the second unit we have replaced in less than a year. coil voltage is also 480V. seems like this setup is more trouble than it's worth. I do have photos but havent figured out how to upload them.
