240V 20ft ballast cord for high-voltage commercial layouts
The Smart Volt 240V cord delivers 240V to digital and magnetic ballasts through a 16-gauge copper conductor. The 20-foot reach covers commercial benches where the 240V receptacle lives in a sub-panel near the door. It pairs with Sun System, Galaxy, Lumatek, Phantom, NextGen, Hydrofarm, Solis Tek, and Xtrasun fixtures. 240V operation cuts feeder amperage roughly in half versus 120V, so the cord runs cooler under sustained draw. 16-gauge copper holds steady ballast load over an entire lights-on cycle without warming the jacket.
240V ballast power cord that consolidates sub-panel feeders
Growers typically run a 240V cord when the room scales past the amperage headroom a 120V branch can carry. Place the cord so the ballast plug seats first and the 240V wall plug clears any drip path from the canopy above. On a 240V circuit the cord supports legacy magnetic ballasts and modern digital ballasts switched to high-voltage mode. Compatibility runs across Sun System 1, Sun System 6, Crop Master, Harvest Pro, Phantom, and Solis Tek lines. The 16-gauge conductor matches the gauge most ballast manufacturers spec for 240V feeders at this length. And a 20-foot run avoids the splice or extension that a shorter cord forces in a wider commercial bay. Pair the cord with a timer or controller upstream so the on/off cycle happens at the controller, not the ballast. That keeps the ballast-end termination from cycling mechanically every flip and extends the connector life.
