Advance 72C5282NP001 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will this Advance 70W ballast run my existing probe start metal halide lamp?
No. The Advance 72C5282NP001 is a pulse start ballast carrying ANSI code M98/143, so it needs a pulse start 70W metal halide lamp. A probe start 70W lamp (ANSI M98 is the pulse start designation) will not start and run correctly on it. If the fixture currently holds a probe start lamp, plan on changing the lamp along with the ballast.
2) Does the Advance M98/143 ballast run on 120V or 277V?
Both. It is a dual voltage 120/277V ballast at 60 Hz, so the same part works on a 120V branch circuit or a 277V commercial lighting circuit. Line current is 1.25A at 120V and 0.55A at 277V, which is what you size the circuit and fuse from. You select the voltage by which input lead you land, so read the lead markings before wiring.
3) Will this ballast fit inside my pole-mounted area light housing?
The core-and-coil measures 11.75 inches long by 3.19 inches wide by 2.63 inches high, so measure the clear space in the ballast tray before ordering. It also weighs 9.2 lbs, which matters if you are mounting it on a door-mounted tray or a remote ballast box. Leads are 12 inches of stranded wire, so the splice point needs to be within a foot of the ballast.
4) Can this 70W metal halide ballast be used outdoors or in an unheated parking structure?
Yes, it is an outdoor-rated magnetic HID ballast in a metal housing, which is why it shows up in parking lot, street lighting, and perimeter security retrofits. It still has to sit inside a suitable fixture enclosure or ballast box, not in open weather.
5) How many lamps will one of these ballasts run?
One. It is a single-lamp 70W metal halide ballast with a ballast factor of 1, meaning the lamp runs at its rated lumen output. A two-head fixture needs two ballasts.
6) Is this a high power factor ballast, and what circuit type is it?
It is an HX-HPF circuit with a 0.9 power factor. High power factor keeps line current low (1.25A at 120V), which is what lets facilities put more heads on a single branch circuit without tripping, and it keeps you clear of utility power factor penalties on larger lighting loads.
7) Is this ballast UL listed for a municipal or institutional job spec?
It holds both UL and CSA certificates and is RoHS compliant, and it is made in the USA. That covers the usual North American listing requirement on school, municipal, and healthcare lighting submittals, and the domestic origin helps on jobs with Buy American language.
8) Should I replace a failed 70W metal halide ballast or convert the fixture to LED?
If the fixture, lens, and reflector are sound and the lamps are already pulse start, swapping in a like-for-like magnetic ballast is the shorter job: one core-and-coil, 12-inch leads, no fixture rework. Magnetic HID is the right call when you are keeping a standardized lamp stock across a site or matching color and output to adjacent heads that are staying HID. A retrofit to LED makes more sense when you are relamping the whole site at once and want to drop the lamp maintenance entirely.
9) What exact part number do I order for the Advance 70W M98 pulse start ballast?
The manufacturer part number is 72C5282NP001 from Advance, a 70W metal halide magnetic ballast, ANSI M98/143, 120/277V, pulse start. Order by that MPN and cross-check the ANSI code stamped on the lamp you are feeding.
