GE UltraMax P-Series T8 Ballast

This GE Lighting 71282 UltraMax P-Series ballast drives two or three T8 fluorescent lamps on a 120 to 277 volt supply. It suits commercial or residential retrofit projects that need instant-start operation and multi-volt flexibility. The high-efficiency electronic design replaces magnetic units in existing fixtures.

Replaces magnetic or failed electronic ballasts

Swap this unit in when an older magnetic ballast hums, flickers or runs hot, or when an existing instant-start electronic ballast has failed. The multi-voltage input covers both 120 and 277 volt circuits without rewiring, so the upgrade is worth it whenever the lamp count matches two or three tubes.

Verify lamp count and wiring before ordering

Confirm the fixture holds exactly two or three T8 lamps and uses instant-start sockets. Check that the supply voltage falls within the 120 to 277 volt range and that the existing wiring matches the instant-start configuration shown on the ballast label.

Questions about this item

What fixture space is needed for the 71282 ballast?

The unit is designed for standard T8 linear fluorescent fixtures that accept instant-start ballasts; verify the enclosure length and mounting tabs match your housing before purchase.

How is the GE332MAXP-N/AMP wired for two or three lamps, and what step is often missed?

Connect the line voltage to the black and white leads, then attach the lamp sockets to the blue and red leads per the diagram — the step most often missed is capping the unused blue lead when running only two lamps.

When should the 332 ballast be replaced?

Replace the ballast when lamps flicker, fail to start reliably, or the unit emits an audible hum, as these indicate the instant-start circuitry is degrading.
