GE Lighting 1103 W 1-Lamp HID Ballast Kit

SKU CH-DWSM-AN59G

Magnetic HID ballast kit operates one 1000 W metal halide lamp with probe start and ANSI code M47/H36 across 120, 208, 240, 277 and 480 V inputs

  • Supports 1000 W metal halide lamp for high-output lighting
  • Multi-voltage input 120/208/240/277/480 V AC fits varied supplies
  • Probe start ANSI M47/H36 ensures reliable ignition
  • Magnetic ballast operates at 60 Hz for stable performance
  • Starts down to -22 °F for cold-environment operation

GE 1103 W HID Ballast Kit

This GE Current magnetic ballast kit supports a single metal halide lamp rated up to 1000 W. It operates on multi-tap input voltages of 120, 208, 240, 277 and 480 V AC at 60 Hz. The unit carries ANSI code M47/H36 and a ballast factor of 1. It is designed for probe-start fixtures in commercial and industrial lighting installations.

Wiring and mounting considerations

The ballast accepts five input voltages, so the installer must select the correct tap for the supply voltage before energising the circuit. Probe-start wiring requires a proper ignitor connection matched to the ANSI code. The minimum starting temperature is -22 °F, so colder environments may prevent reliable lamp ignition. Ensure the enclosure provides adequate heat dissipation for the magnetic core.

Capacity and operating limits

The kit comfortably drives one 1000 W metal halide lamp at full output with a ballast factor of 1. Input power matches the lamp rating at 1000 W, leaving no headroom for over-lamping or additional fixtures. Operation below -22 °F is not supported, and the single-lamp design cannot accommodate multi-lamp configurations.

Questions about this item

How do I verify the ballast is operating correctly after installation?

Confirm the probe-start ballast ignites the single metal-halide lamp at the ANSI M47/H36 rating and sustains 1000 W input at 60 Hz across the 120/208/240/277/480 V AC supply.

What components are included in the kit and what must I purchase separately?

The kit provides the magnetic HID ballast rated for one 1000 W metal-halide bulb; the lamp itself and any mounting hardware or wiring are not included.

Which voltage tap should I select for my supply?

Choose the tap that matches your line voltage — 120, 208, 240, 277 or 480 V AC — all are supported by the same ballast.
