View attachment 692551 actually, looks like i have a 250v outlet connected to a 30a.
i was looking to purchase an adapter cord to run from that 250v outlet to plug my two phantom II digital ballasts into.
will this adapter cord work?
interesting.I would not use that I would just take the plug out and install what you want
and it is a 30 amp circuit looks like there's a neutral there also but you won't need it for your 240v ballasts
I would rather take that wire out of the 4s box and install a 30 small sub panel
You could get your ballast and even a 120 V

Doesn't look like the middle tab which is the ground matches upinteresting.
is there any way to use this current outlet?
avoiding replacement and further installation?
thing is, i rent.Doesn't look like the middle tab which is the ground matches up
You would have to get an oven cord and want to J box and then put your other outlet in and it's not worth all the trouble it's going to just change the cover plate on the box to what you need
or a 240v outlet?
i just don't know nearly enough to be adding a circuit, nor is that an option since i'm renting (if i owned i'd just hire an electrician of course, put the lights on a dedicated circuit)
ok. so if i take out the 250v outlet, and replace that with a 120v outlet, connected to the same 30a breaker-that would be the easiest way to get my lights up and running?You're not adding a circuit you're only reconfiguring the plug so all it is is taking the cover off of that box and the plug out and install the correct plug for yourself
Or you could get the correct cord and plug it in and then connect to a timeclock a T103 Intermatic
but this does take some knowledge
not a lot but a little
and yes if you turn the breaker off that whole line is dead for you to work on
Your correct it's not safe to connect a 120 V outlet to a 30 amp breaker so you would have to change thevbreaker to a 20 amp breakerfuck, or can you not connect a 120v outlet to a 30amp circuit?
in that case, should i replace the 4 prong 250v w/ a 3 prong 240v?
so can i just put in a 3 prong 240v outlet?Your correct it's not safe to connect a 120 V outlet to a 30 amp breaker so you would have to change thevbreaker to a 20 amp breaker
that's very simple all you do is shut the main off and it's a screwdriver and you pull the breaker out
But I will advise it is electricity and I don't want anyone to do anything that's not within their skill
Yepso can i just put in a 3 prong 240v outlet?
i can't fuck w/ the breaker.
that cord won't fit a 240v outletso, an outlet to fit this cord:
240v
how come i can't find a 3 prong 240v outlet on home depot's site, strange.Yep
Should change breaker ( I have to say this or I will get ripped a new way one)
Will still work on a higher breaker

Yes that is an extension cord for a 240 V outlethow come i can't find a 3 prong 240v outlet on home depot's site, strange.
so here's a 240v power cord for a ballast:
that won't fit into the extension cord
