Will it strip ballast wire?

It should do fine on the PVC coated electrical wires (yellow, red, blue, white) from the ballast to electric supply or other ballasts in the series, which are basically 16-20 (AWG). I haven't tried the cloth coated ones.

I haven't tried any conductor smaller than #14 AWG (stranded), but the Coppermine stripped it and everything else I ran thru it wonderfully.

Clip the wires close to the ballast. Wire one end of fixture positive, one end negative. There are lots of youtube videos that help explain it.

I've gone pretty thin and it strips without tearing the wire. I think at 28 AWG you'd just have to be a little careful and not mash down to clamp it.

No you will burn up the internal ballast if you feed it more than 120 volts

No, it will actually decrease the life span of the bulb. When the bulb is not used at the recommended wattage, ot also does not put out the full spectrum that the bulb is rated at. If you intend to only run the bulb at 50%, i would recommend just using a 400 watt bulb with your 600 watt ballast.

You could But will require drilling a hole for the wire to go to the ballast..

I was able to remove the old ballast and use wire nuts to connect the existing wires to the wires on the new ballast

Yes it will. AC or DC. Just clamp unit around positive conductor and select proper current on meter.

I cut the old wires to remove the old ballast and connected new ballast to the old wires using wire connectors (much easier than using wire nuts). My old ballast was 3-lamp so I had to figure out what to do with extra wires, but it's really not that hard.

Yes, there is a very small wire harness that connects to the ballast on the other end.

Yes but sketchy . You need to access the existing ballast, cut only the hot and ground feeding the fixture, then using the wire nuts splice the provided pigtail to the hot and ground feed wires. Install the led tubes and connect the connectors.. Do not cut any other wires, do not remove the ballast as it provides the end to end connection for the new tubes good luck

No. It might work for a second but the ballast regulates the surge. Plus the plug shouldn't be the same. You could present a severe fire hazard

No. Remove the ballast and wire the load to one end, the neutral to the other end, and it works on 120v AC.

Sorry, I can't be definate. But, the ballast interchanged perfectly, just remove and attach the old wire terminations. A wiring diagram is on the cover of the ballast. The bulb sockets themselves are unchanged.

I have mine hooked up to A different hood so as long as you hood can plug in too the ballast it should work.

No wire strippers. if you were good, you could use the wire cutters and strip with those. It's harder, but it works

It will work. Just will not be the color you were anticipating. Side note..I changed to another system my ballasts kept blowing out.
