Philips Advance 250 W HID Ballast Kit

This Philips Advance kit provides a magnetic HID ballast rated for a single metal halide lamp up to 250 watts. It operates on multi-tap input voltages of 120, 208, 240, or 277 volts AC at 60 Hz. The unit carries ANSI codes M138 and M153 and uses a pulse start method. Steel construction houses the components.

Check supply voltage and lamp compatibility

Verify that your supply voltage matches one of the four listed input options before installation. The ballast supports exactly one lamp with a maximum rating of 250 watts and requires a bulb matching the ANSI codes shown. Minimum starting temperature is rated at -20 degrees Fahrenheit. Input power draws 291 watts.

Kit includes ballast and mounting hardware

The packaged kit supplies the ballast unit itself along with the necessary mounting hardware for installation. No additional software or digital accessories are included with this magnetic ballast product. The ballast factor is rated at 1.0 for the specified lamp type.

Questions about this item

Does the Philips Advance 71A5792-001D kit include the lamp or only the ballast components?

The kit supplies the magnetic HID ballast for one 250 W metal halide lamp; the bulb itself is not included and must be purchased separately.

Which ANSI codes does this ballast support and how do they affect lamp choice?

It is rated for ANSI M138 and M153, so select a 250 W metal halide lamp marked with either of those codes for proper operation.

What does the 291 W input figure mean for circuit planning?

At 291 W input the ballast will draw more current than the lamp wattage alone, so size the branch circuit and wiring for the higher input load.
