Default remote ballast installation

I'm looking for information on how to install and use remote
fluorescent ballasts and architectural fixtures. I need details, like
what types of enclosures are available for the ballasts, where they
can be mounted, how wire should be routed between the ballast and the
fixture (conduit? flex conduit? something else?), what type of wire,
and so-forth.

Anyone have a clue?


Remote ballasts for flourescents is sometimes used in display cases.
Tht might helpt your searches. You also might find more about remote
ballasts for other types of hid lighting like high pressure sodium or
metal halid. The ballast has to be a metal box. I think the wiring
has to have a 600v rating for a lot of it because of the starting
voltages. What I have seen has been in conduit. I don't think it's
easy to find 600v wire in sheathed.
