Philips Advance Oil-Filled HID Capacitor 24 uF 480V

This Philips Advance oil-filled HID capacitor is rated at 24 uF and 480V AC for use with metal halide lighting systems. It is designed for electrical installations that require this specific capacitance and voltage rating. The component suits maintenance technicians and lighting contractors replacing a matching part in compatible fixtures. Builders needing a different capacitance value or voltage rating should select another component.

24 uF 480V AC rating for 1000W metal halide SCWA

The capacitor carries a 24 uF rating at 480V AC and is specified for use with 1000W metal halide SCWA ballasts. This single electrical rating determines whether the part matches the ballast requirements in the fixture. Installers must verify that the ballast calls for exactly 24 uF at 480V AC before fitting this unit. Systems requiring any other capacitance or voltage will not operate correctly with this capacitor.

Highlights

  • Reliable HID ballast operation with 24 uF capacitance
  • Handles high-voltage circuits rated at 480 V AC
  • Oil-filled construction for stable performance in metal halide fixtures

Questions about this item

What does the 24 uF rating mean when the capacitor is installed in a 1000W metal halide ballast?

The 24 uF value sets the reactive power that the ballast uses to start and run the 1000W metal halide lamp, determining the correct lamp current and ignition voltage.

How does the 480V AC rating limit the capacitor's use in a lighting circuit?

The 480V AC rating is the maximum continuous voltage the capacitor can withstand; the circuit voltage must stay at or below this level to avoid dielectric breakdown.
