Single-Lamp 400 W Ballast

The GE 63052 is a magnetic HID ballast designed to operate one 400 watt metal halide lamp. It suits new installations or direct replacements in commercial and outdoor fixtures where probe-start ignition is specified.

Dual-Voltage Magnetic Operation

The unit accepts 120 or 277 volt input and uses a potted F-can construction for durability. Magnetic regulation means lamp current varies with line voltage, so stable supply is required for consistent light output.

One Lamp at Full Power

Rated for a single 400 watt lamp, the ballast delivers full rated output when the supply matches the tapped voltage. It cannot drive multiple lamps or higher-wattage types, and probe-start lamps are mandatory for reliable ignition.

Questions about this item

Should I select the 120 V or 277 V input for my 400 W metal halide lamp?

The ballast is dual-voltage and auto-senses the supply; wire it to whichever mains voltage is present, 120 V or 277 V, and it will drive the single 400 W probe-start lamp.

What does the 400 watt rating mean once the ballast is installed in a fixture?

It delivers the correct open-circuit voltage and regulated current to start and run one 400 W metal halide lamp at full rated light output.

How does the magnetic HX-HPF design affect the electrical characteristics?

The high-power-factor magnetic circuit keeps the input current in phase with voltage, reducing line losses and allowing more ballasts on a single branch circuit.
