Hi all,
I have quite a few light enclosures from the little diesel powered mobile light plants. 3 cyl Kubota with a pancake 110/220 generator, runs at 1800rpm/60hz.
Goes from the generator to a single capacitor, then to the main breaker and individual switches, out to another capacitor, to a transformer, then to the light.
The lights need 600vac, they are 1000/1200 watt bt37's.
I want to run these at home, for outdoor lighting and in the shop, when my regular flourescents arent enough.
Can a regular ballast do this, or will i have to use a ballast/capaciitor along with a transformer to get it to work?
I did wire it right to a 110 cord, and nothing happened. Must not be enough to even warm the gas?
Thanks
