Philips Lighting 71A7971001D HPS Core & Coil Ballast Kit, 70W Quad-Tap, 120/208/240/277V

The Philips Lighting 71A7971001D is a core & coil ballast kit engineered for 70W High Pressure Sodium (HPS) lamps, built to the ANSI S62 standard for reliable lamp-to-ballast compatibility. This quad-tap kit operates across 120/208/240/277V input, giving electricians the flexibility to match the ballast to whatever supply voltage is available at the fixture without stocking a separate part number for every voltage. The kit ships complete with a dry film capacitor, ignitor, and mounting hardware, so the full electrical assembly needed to power a 70W HPS lamp arrives in a single package ready for installation in the fixture housing.

Key Features

  • Lamp Wattage: Designed and matched for 70W HPS lamps for accurate, code-compliant lamp-to-ballast operation.
  • Quad-Tap Voltage: Operates on 120/208/240/277V input, letting a single ballast kit serve multiple supply voltages found in commercial and industrial buildings.
  • Core & Coil Construction: Core and coil ballast design delivers dependable, consistent lamp starting and steady-state operation.
  • Dry Film Capacitor Included: Factory-matched dry film capacitor supports proper power factor correction within the ballast circuit.
  • Ignitor Included: Integrated ignitor supplies the high-voltage starting pulse required to strike the 70W HPS lamp.
  • Mounting Hardware Included: Complete mounting hardware is included, simplifying installation into the existing fixture housing.
  • ANSI S62 Rated: Manufactured to the ANSI S62 specification governing HPS lamp and ballast circuit performance.
  • Complete Kit: Ballast, capacitor, ignitor, and mounting hardware are packaged together as one replacement kit.

Certifications & Compliance

  • ANSI S62 Compliant Ballast Circuit

Technical Specifications

  • Refer to manufacturer documentation for complete technical specifications.

Typical Applications

  • Replacement Ballast Kit for 70W HPS Fixtures
  • Industrial and Commercial Lighting Retrofits
  • Outdoor Area and Security Lighting
  • Street, Roadway, and Parking Lot Lighting
  • Multi-Voltage Facilities Requiring 120/208/240/277V Flexibility

Why Philips Lighting?

Philips Lighting builds this core & coil ballast kit around a dry film capacitor and a matched ignitor, giving contractors a complete, ANSI S62-compliant replacement in a single kit instead of sourcing components separately. The quad-tap 120/208/240/277V design reduces the number of ballast SKUs a facility needs to stock for its 70W HPS fixtures, while the included mounting hardware keeps installation straightforward for lighting retrofits, repairs, and new fixture builds.

Philips Lighting PHIL71A7971001D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Philips 71A7971001D ballast kit run on 277V, or do I need a different part number for each voltage?
It's a quad-tap ballast, wired for 120, 208, 240 or 277V input, so one kit covers all four supply voltages. You select the voltage at install by landing the supply on the correct tap lead. For a facility with mixed voltages across its 70W HPS fixtures, that means stocking one ballast instead of four.
2) What lamp does the 71A7971001D ballast kit fire, and can I use it on a metal halide lamp instead?
This kit is matched to a 70W High Pressure Sodium lamp and built to ANSI S62, the HPS lamp/ballast standard. It is not a metal halide ballast. HPS and metal halide have different starting and operating characteristics, so running an MH lamp on it is not a substitution you can make. Check the ANSI code on your existing lamp first, and if it is a 70W HPS, this kit matches it.
3) Does the Philips 70W HPS ballast kit come with the capacitor and ignitor, or do I order those separately?
Everything needed for the circuit ships in the one box: the core and coil ballast, a dry film capacitor, the ignitor, and mounting hardware. An HPS circuit will not strike without an ignitor and will not run at correct power factor without the capacitor, so a bare-ballast purchase means chasing two more parts. Here you get the complete assembly as one kit.
4) I'm a property manager replacing a failed ballast in a parking lot HPS fixture. Is this the right kit?
If the fixture takes a 70W HPS lamp, yes. The 71A7971001D is sold as a replacement kit for 70W HPS fixtures and is used in outdoor area, security, street, roadway and parking lot lighting. It mounts into the existing fixture housing with the hardware supplied. Two things to confirm on your fixture: the lamp is 70W HPS (not metal halide), and the supply voltage is one of 120, 208, 240 or 277.
5) What is a core and coil ballast kit, and how is it different from buying a potted or encased ballast?
A core and coil is the magnetic transformer itself, supplied open with its leads out, intended to be bolted into the fixture housing along with its separate capacitor and ignitor. That is what the 71A7971001D is. An encased or potted ballast puts the same magnetics inside a sealed enclosure, which suits remote or exposed mounting but takes more room. For a factory HPS fixture that originally shipped with its components mounted on the ballast tray, the core and coil kit is the direct-style replacement.
6) What is the exact Philips part number for this 70W quad-tap HPS ballast kit?
Order it as Philips Lighting 71A7971001D, from the ADV series. That single MPN covers the 70W HPS quad-tap configuration, so there is no voltage suffix to add.
7) Does this ballast meet the ANSI spec my fixture's lamp calls out?
The ballast circuit is built to ANSI S62, the standard that governs HPS lamp and ballast performance. HPS lamps carry an ANSI designation (an S-number) on the lamp, and matching the ballast to the ANSI circuit for a 70W HPS lamp is what keeps the lamp starting and operating within its rated parameters. This kit is specified to that standard for 70W HPS.
8) Where can I get the full electrical data for the Philips 71A7971001D before I spec it?
Philips publishes a spec sheet for the 71A7971001D, and ZenSupply carries the link on the product record. That document is the place to confirm line current, ballast losses and wiring detail for your submittal. The headline specs are 70W HPS, quad-tap 120/208/240/277V, ANSI S62.
