I've just got some studio color 575's and they are the M model. from what I've read they can run 208v-230v, the labels say 208v only? I don't have a 208v in my shop to test them and before I fry some thing I figured I better ask before I plug them up. also I saw in the manual (I think thats where) that they can be re-taped to run 110v?

The "M" will run 208 or 240, 50 or 60 Hz. There are three tap leads coming from the ballast - a black, a yellow, and a red. There is a sticker on the top of the ballast that tells you which to use for what voltage combination (I can't honestly remember at the moment . . . ). The solid state motor power supply can run 110V, but the ballast *cannot*, rendering the "M" to 208 or 240 only . . .
