Philips Advance 24 uF 480V Capacitor

This oil-filled HID capacitor is rated at 24 uF and 480V AC for use with 1000W metal halide CWA ballasts. It suits maintenance technicians and facility managers replacing a failed capacitor in compatible lighting fixtures. The closed-base oval canister measures 1 7/8 in diameter by 3 7/8 in height and length. It is a direct component swap for the specified ballast type.

Capacity and headroom for 1000W ballasts

The 24 uF rating provides the exact reactive power correction the 1000W MH CWA ballast requires for reliable lamp starting and steady operation. It runs out of headroom if the ballast wattage or capacitance spec differs, so it cannot serve higher-wattage or differently rated fixtures. Voltage tolerance is fixed at 480V AC, limiting use to circuits at that nominal level.

Replaces failed 24 uF 480V HID capacitors

This unit replaces an identical Advance MD2409-100 capacitor that has lost capacitance or developed an open circuit. The jump is worth it when the original shows symptoms such as hard starting, lamp cycling or no ignition at all. It is not for fixtures using a different capacitance value, voltage rating or ballast topology.

Questions about this item

Will this 24 uF 480V capacitor replace the original unit in my 1000W metal halide CWA ballast?

Yes, it is rated 24 uF at 480V AC and specified for use with 1000W MH CWA ballasts, matching the capacitance and voltage the original circuit expects.

How can I verify the capacitor is healthy after wiring it into the ballast?

With power off and the capacitor discharged, measure capacitance with a multimeter; a reading near 24 uF confirms the unit is within spec.

Does the oval metal can include mounting brackets or wire leads, or must I supply them?

The capacitor has a closed-base oval can measuring 1 7/8 in diameter by 3 7/8 in height and length; mounting hardware and leads are not included.
