statement on ballast applies to customrs who have old style 240 outlet, you are correct, just use same plug.
never heard of a ballast that you don't have to rewire the tap-wire inside the ballast or flip the switch..........mmmmm interesting.
I have my ballasts wired at the interior taps with the 240v. I still use my 120v ballast power cord that plugs into my CAP MLC4a. The CAP controller runs off of 240v but has 120v style plugs.
I am going to use the same CAP MLC-4x since mine works great. I love the fact you can plug both types of ends in to their outlet. But like u said i think not having to rewire or switch is interesting. the ballasts are about 3 yrs old. Its their SS 1 1000w hps. Everything says the MVP cord outlet, no need to change things. I guess i'll plug one in and see if fries the shit out of if. or suck it up and call Sun Systems like a big boy.
Thanks for all your help.
I wish people would stop using three wire ( hot- hot- ground) dryer outlets for feeding a sub pannel. You should only use four wire (hot- hot- neutral- ground) outlets. Failure to do so causes a neutral to ground bond in the sub pannel which can put unwanted current on metal grounded surfaces and IMO "noise" from diggi ballasts, resulting in detection of grow. Never bond neutral to ground after the main pannel. Did you take any voltage readings, and what are they?
