Advance 71A6772001 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Advance 71A6772001 ballast run a 1500W pulse start metal halide lamp?
No. The Advance 71A6772001 is a probe start ballast built for M48 ANSI code lamps only. A pulse start 1500W lamp carries a different ANSI designation and needs a pulse start ballast with an igniter, which this one does not have. Match the ANSI code printed on the lamp to M48 before you wire it in.
2) Can I use this 1500W metal halide ballast on 480V?
No. The 71A6772001 is a quad-voltage core and coil kit wired for 120, 208, 240 or 277V at 60 Hz. There is no 480V tap, so a 480V service needs a separate 480V ballast or a step-down transformer.
3) What comes in the Advance M48 quad kit, and do I need anything else to finish the install?
It is a kit for a single 1500W metal halide lamp: core and coil transformer plus the 32 MFD capacitor that sets the lamp current. You still supply the fixture housing, mounting hardware, wire, lamp socket and the M48 lamp itself. If you are replacing only a failed capacitor in an existing fixture, buy the capacitor on its own rather than the whole kit.
4) Can this 1500W metal halide ballast be dimmed or tied into a lighting control system?
No dimming. The 71A6772001 is a fixed-output magnetic ballast with a ballast factor of 1, so the lamp runs at full rated lumens whenever it is energized. Control is on/off only, through a contactor or relay. Metal halide also needs a restrike cooldown after power drops, so it is a poor fit for occupancy-sensor or daylight-harvesting schemes.
5) What circuit size should I figure for a 1500W metal halide ballast?
Size the branch circuit off the lamp wattage plus ballast losses, not the 1500W alone. With a 0.9 power factor the input current is meaningfully higher than a unity-PF calculation would suggest, so a single 1500W fixture on 120V draws heavily and is usually fed at 277V on commercial jobs to keep the amperage and wire size down. The ballast accepts 120, 208, 240 or 277V, so pick the highest voltage available on the site.
6) I need to order a replacement ballast for a 1500W metal halide sports field fixture. What part number do I ask for?
Advance 71A6772001, the 1500W M48 quad-voltage probe start metal halide kit. That is the manufacturer part number to put on the PO. Confirm the existing ballast label reads M48 and that the fixture is fed at 120, 208, 240 or 277V.
7) Should I repair a 1500W metal halide fixture with a magnetic ballast or convert it to LED?
Repair makes sense when the fixture housing, lens and reflector are sound and you need the opening back in service now, or when you are keeping a fleet of identical fixtures standardized so one spare covers every pole. The 71A6772001 keeps the lamp at full rated output with a ballast factor of 1. Where you want dimming, instant restrike or a control system tie-in, this magnetic core and coil will not give you any of it, and a conversion is the better call.
