Distributor Ballast Kits GE stocks a comprehensive inventory of quad and 5-tap HID voltage ballast kits. The kits contain the appropriate core and coil, capacitor, ignitor (where required), mounting bracket, mounting hardware and instructions to allow the stocking distributor to meet the needs of their customer while minimizing their investment in component parts. The quad ballast kit has color-coded leads to identify voltages and operates at 120/208/240/277. The 5-tap HID ballast kits also include 480-volt applications and are listed as ML5, though GE also offers single-voltage kits for 480-volt with 120-volt taps for stand-by lighting. Also available for metal halide and high pressure sodium applications is the 5-tap ballast-lamp replacement kit listed as -55. This easy-tocarry, convenient, all-in-one kit, ensures ballast-lamp compatibility by including the lamp as well. s and capacitors, where required, are included with the quad and 5-tap ballast kits. Capacitors Most GE capacitors and ignitors are sold in ballast kits that come pre-wired and reduce labor cost. Capacitors and ignitors are also sold separately. Power factor capacitors are used to reduce the negative effects that inductive devices (HID ballast) have on power factor ratings. GE sells a complete line of capacitors that must be properly matched to the lamp and HID ballast. GE capacitors have bleed-in resistors and use biodegradable, nontoxic (no PCBs) dielectric fluid. GE il-filled Capacitors are packaged in metal cases (up to 520V ratings). All GE capacitors are designed for 60,000 hours of continuous life. Dry Capacitors do not contain oil and are manufactured with plastic casing. Dry casings are rated up 100 C maximum. Dry capacitors are designed and rated for AC voltages below at 50 or 60Hz. s s are also sold in individual cartons for replacement needs. s supply a high voltage pulse to ionize the gas creating the glow discharge. nce the lamp is started the ignitor stops providing the pulse. s are designed to last thousand of hours; however, if the lamp fails or the socket is empty, the ignitor will continue to pulse. The lamps should be replaced or the fixture turned off to prevent premature failure of the ignitor. Standard ignitors are supplied with metal halide ballast 150 watts or less, pulse start metal halide and high-pressure sodium ballast. There are several different ignitors that meet the needs of many GE lamp and ballast combinations. The appropriate ignitor is listed in the catalog under the ballast specifications. Potted Core and Coil Ballast GE potted core and coil ballasts are designed for applications requiring quieter or cooler operation than provided by standard coil and coil ballast. The potting material is sand-filled polyester which provides excellent sound-deadening and heat-transfer qualities. F-Can Ballast GE F-Can ballast is recommended for indoor applications and where ballast noise must be minimized. F-Can ballast are encased in fluorescent ballast-type cans and potted with asphalt insulating materials to minimize noise. Ballast Date and Temperature s Date s GE HID core and coil ballast manufacturing date codes are located on the top end of the core. They are printed in white and indicate year, month manufactured, and order the ballast was manufactured in the month. A code of 070100001 would indicate manufacture date of 07 (year 2007), 01 (month of January), and 00001 would be the manufacturing sequence. UL Bench Top Temperature To help with UL inspection, the UL Bench top code is listed on the GE label on the core and coil ballast as 1029X. X is the temperature code and represented by the following temperature classifications: A, B, C, D, E and F.
