i have a multi-tap ballast 120/240 50/60 hz wich has the american prongs that plug into a 120v outlet.
i would like to use this in australia where they have 240v and different shape prongs.
in this case would a travel plug adapter be ok to use here with 240v? or would i need to cut the end of the cable and wire an Australian plug to it? Or would i have to replace the whole power cord leading from the ballast and wire an australian extension cord into it?
You first need to protect the ballast by rewiring it from the 120v to the 240v tap. The plug can either be used with an adapter or replaced with one that will fit directly into the Australian receptacle. The existing cord can be used as it will not know what voltage is traveling through it.
