Sodium light does not turn on. probable short ballast

Good day. Assemble a reflector with a 400w sodium light. I put it together in the workshop and it worked correctly. I connect the ballast with the reflector on the other side and it doesn't turn on anymore. I measure tensions and check connections finding nothing. I go back to where I bought the materials and they tell me that the ballast was shorted because it plugged in with the polarity reversed. Is this correct? LUMENAC brand Box 400 model

You asked, how do you explain inverted polarity in alternating current? Because as far as I know, and something I know, sodium lamps work in alternating, because in continuous they could never work. luck

Thanks to the question, regardless of the load, the ballast is whether the entry must be respected live or neutral by convention or priority.
Where I bought they say that he fell short for reversing the neutral of the living.

Hi. If the polarity has been reversed, it has nothing to do with putting it short. Once we were in a school that the lamps being poorly polarized did not turn on but that is shorted by inverting phase / neutral, I do not think it is possible. Regards

I reversed the cables and it worked again. Obviously there is no short. Thank you all. Regards.
