How to wire hps to ballast

Dominguezzz · Feb 5, 2020

Hello,
I have a problem on picture is shown that every wire needs to get in the socket but I can't put the yellow/green anywhere because it has some kind of pin on it and it's to big to fit the hole. Can somebody please give me instructions how to wire this bad boy

Can u just cut the terminal off and strip the wire back. That's just a ground wire.

Ebcrew IDK, why the terminal is there in first place. So u suggest to cut the terminal and put the wire in middle hole and screw it?

Yeah that's what I'd do if I couldn't see a way to use the circle terminal.

Ye bro it's a shit and it wasn't cheap says easy to assemble . It's my first indoor grow so I would really like to not be shocked or dead on my first wiring the hps

The post the green/yellow ground wire is wired to, on the one side does it have a screw? You don't need to wire it into the socket just wire direct to ground post

No it doesn't have a screw that is a problem it is pinned and I was trying to get It out but I, was unsuccessful. It is attached with tool like this

That sucks they pop riveted it on. Just do like other guys said, cut end off and strip it back same amount as hot and neutral wire.

OK will do that and of course, put it in the middle socket?
