SKU CH-CXFT-FJCTM

Electronic program rapid-start ballast runs T5 lamps from 108 to 305 V with parallel operation and anti-striation control

  • High-efficiency T5 ballast reduces energy consumption
  • Multi-voltage design operates from 108 to 305 volts
  • Parallel lamp operation keeps remaining lamps lit if one fails
  • Anti-striation control delivers uniform light without flicker
  • Rapid start method extends lamp life through gentle ignition

GE 68976 Ballast for T5 Lamps

This GE 68976 electronic program rapid-start ballast drives T5 fluorescent lamps. Multi-voltage technology lets a single unit handle supply voltages from 108 to 305 volts. Anti-striation control reduces visible banding for more uniform light output. It suits commercial and industrial fixtures that require reliable T5 operation.

Check Fixture Voltage and Lamp Type

Verify that the fixture wiring matches the 108 to 305 volt input range before installation. Confirm the lamps are T5 models compatible with program rapid-start operation. Ensure the ballast factor and wiring configuration match the original specification. A mismatched lamp type or voltage can cause premature failure.

Parallel Operation and Mounting Implications

Parallel lamp operation keeps remaining tubes lit if one lamp fails, reducing maintenance visits. The electronic circuit runs cooler and quieter than magnetic equivalents. Mount the unit securely to a grounded metal surface for proper heat dissipation. Solid connections prevent flicker and extend the service life of both ballast and lamps.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box with the GE 68976 ballast and do I need to buy lamp holders separately?

The package contains the GE 68976 electronic program rapid start ballast only; T5 lamp holders and the lamps themselves must be purchased separately.

How do I choose between the available versions of the GE 68976 ballast for my T5 installation?

The GE 68976 is a single model designated GE224MVPS-N, rated for 224 watts, so there are no alternative versions or capacities to select from.

What does the 108 to 305V range mean when the GE 68976 ballast is installed in a real lighting circuit?

It means the ballast will start and operate T5 lamps reliably on any supply voltage between 108 and 305 volts without rewiring or a different unit.
