Advance 71A6051001D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will this Advance 400W ballast kit run on 480V, or do I need a different model?
The Advance 71A6051001D is a 5-tap ballast, so the same unit covers 120, 208, 240, 277 and 480V. You land the supply conductor on the tap that matches your service and cap the rest. One kit covers a mixed-voltage building, which is why maintenance crews stock this one instead of five voltage-specific ballasts.
2) Will this ballast fire a pulse start metal halide lamp?
No. This is a probe start ballast with an M59 ANSI code, so it is matched to 400W probe start metal halide lamps carrying that same M59 designation. Pulse start lamps use a different ANSI code and require an igniter the probe start circuit does not have. Check the ANSI code printed on the lamp you are replacing before ordering.
3) Will a 400W metal halide ballast fit inside my existing shoebox or high bay fixture?
The ballast core and coil measures 4.75 x 4.30 x 4.25 inches and weighs 13.5 lbs. Measure the ballast tray opening in your fixture against those figures, and confirm the tray and mounting hardware carry 13.5 lbs, since magnetic HID ballasts are far heavier than the electronic units some crews are used to handling.
4) Does the Advance M59 kit include the capacitor, or do I order that separately?
It is sold as a kit, and the capacitor rating is part of the spec at 24 MFD. If you are replacing only a failed capacitor on an existing ballast, match that 24 MFD value plus the voltage rating stamped on the old can; if the transformer itself is bad, take the whole kit.
5) Can I put this 400W metal halide ballast on a dimmer or an occupancy sensor for energy code?
No, this magnetic HID ballast is not dimmable. Metal halide also needs a restrike cooldown, so switching it with an occupancy sensor is a poor fit. If a facility needs dimming or instant restrike for a code compliance path, the usual answer is converting the fixture to LED rather than swapping ballasts.
6) Will this ballast give me the same light output as the one I am replacing?
Ballast factor is 1.0, so the lamp is driven at its full rated lumen output rather than derated. Power factor is 0.9, which is high power factor, so it draws less line current than a low power factor unit at the same wattage, something to weigh if you are loading several fixtures on one 277V circuit.
7) Can I run two lamps off one of these ballasts?
No. The Advance 400W M59 ballast drives a single lamp and is rated 400 watts at 60 Hz. A two-lamp fixture needs two ballasts, one per lamp.
