Thanks for your reply. I should explain a little further: There are several fluorescent light fittings in the house where I live [in Thailand] and some of the ballasts are wired to the live wire and some to the neutral wire. I am going to make some changes to the electrical system here soon and just wondered which was correct, live or neutral?
When you buy a fitting here in Thailand, there are no fitting instructions and, on top of that, there is no earth here either!
Hi securespark - no, the terminals are not marked. There is merely a circuit diagram printed on the ballast which shows one cable connected to the input of the ballast and the output connected to the main circuit of the light fitting. The ballast has a terminal block with two connections. Which cable should be connected to the input side of the ballast - live or neutral? TNX
