peligro Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Ok So I got a electric ballast, and am trying to splice the connection end from my magnetic ballast to my jbj to the electric ballast. Problem the electric ballast has 3 wires green (neutral) black (-) white (+) I'm guessing lol. The jbj end I need to splice. Has 5 wires tan/brown, yellow w/ green stripe, white, black, and blue. Anyone every try to do something like this? HTC EVO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fewneral01 Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 In the past it has been my experience that most wiring uses a similar pattern. I would say that if your using AC120 power green is ground, white is neutral, black is positive. In your case I would go black to black, white to white, green to yellow w/green stripe. Blue is generally a switched power and tan/brown is usually a second neutral for the blue. Just a guess since I do not have your paperwork and have not actually seen the plugs. Hope you get it all figured out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeramy Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 I agree do you have a wiring diagram for either balast it should lay it out for you but I agree with Fewneral01 on the colors of the wires =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barelycuda Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 It sounds like the JBJ is set up for dual voltages. Typically your black & white are the 120 volt connections and brown & blue are the common colors in europe for 220 volt connections. If you use the black and white make sure you cap off the brown and blue wires. Pictures would be helpful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peligro Posted September 12, 2012 Author Share Posted September 12, 2012 The electric ballast. This is the magnetic ballast below I actually don't have the diagrams for them. But I tracked the other wires seems the blue is for the switch, And the tan connects to a separate white cable which runs to the convertor? Or generator?
