Philips Lighting Core & Coil Magnetic HID Ballast, 70W HPS, S62

The Philips Lighting Core & Coil ballast is a magnetic HID ballast engineered for a 70W HPS lamp rated to ANSI code S62. Built with an HX-HPF (high reactance, high power factor) circuit, it operates on multi-tap 120/208/240/277V input at 60Hz, drawing 96W nominal input power at a 0.9 nominal power factor. UL Recognized and rated suitable for outdoor use, this ballast is a dependable replacement for HPS fixtures across commercial and industrial lighting systems.

Philips Lighting 913700501309 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What lamp does the Philips 913700501309 core and coil HID ballast run?
It drives a single 70W high pressure sodium lamp, ANSI code S62. Rated lamp power is 70 W and the kit handles one lamp per unit. If your fixture carries a different ANSI designation on its label, the ballast won't start the lamp correctly, so match S62 before ordering.
2) Can this 70W HPS ballast be wired for 120V and 277V on the same job?
It's a quad-tap core and coil, tapped for 120, 208, 240 and 277 V at 60 Hz, so one part number covers all four services. Pick the tap lead at install. Nominal input current runs 0.81 A on 120V, 0.47 A on 208V, 0.40 A on 240V and 0.35 A on 277V, and the recommended fuse follows the same order at 5/3/2/2 A.
3) What comes in the box with this Philips HID core and coil kit, and do I need to buy a capacitor and ignitor separately?
It's a complete core and coil assembly: transformer, capacitor 7C070L30RA (7 MFD, 280V, 1.25 in diameter, 2.75 in high, 105 C rated) and ignitor LI551-H4, also 105 C rated. Nothing else to source for the ballast itself. You still supply the lamp, socket, fixture wiring and fusing.
4) Can I mount this ballast remotely from the fixture in a pole base or a separate enclosure?
Remote wiring is allowed, but the run is short: 2 feet maximum between ballast and lamp. That's fine for a ballast box bolted to the back of a fixture or in the pole head, not for a pole-base mount feeding a luminaire at the top. For longer separations you need a ballast specified for extended remote distance.
5) Is this Philips HPS ballast OK for an outdoor wall pack or parking lot fixture?
Yes, it's suitable for outdoor use and UL Recognized with ULR approval marking, so it's a component intended to be installed inside a listed luminaire or weatherproof enclosure rather than run exposed. Insulation is Class H (180 C) with UL temperature code 1029C and a B/C/B/C temperature marking across the four taps.
6) Is this a high power factor ballast, and what circuit type is it?
HX-HPF, a reactor with high power factor correction, rated 0.9 nominal power factor with a ballast factor of 1. Nominal input power is 96 W for the 70 W lamp. High power factor matters if you're on a utility tariff that penalizes PF or you're loading a lot of heads on one branch circuit, since it keeps line current down.
7) Will this core and coil fit inside my existing HPS fixture housing?
Core size is 3 x 4 (2 LW), the standard small-frame lamination stack for 70W HPS, and the assembly weighs 2.527 kg. Measure the ballast tray in your housing against a 3 x 4 core plus the separate capacitor can at 1.25 in diameter by 2.75 in high, since the capacitor mounts apart from the coil and needs its own space.
8) Does this HID ballast restrike automatically after a power blip?
No automatic restart on this one. After an interruption the HPS lamp has to cool before it will strike again, and the ballast won't force a hot restrike. For an application where instant relight matters (a stairwell, an egress path), pair the HPS head with a separate quartz restrike or an emergency luminaire rather than relying on this ballast.
9) What size wire leads does the Philips 71A7971 ballast come with?
Leads are 12 inches of stranded wire, stripped 0.5 mm. That's short for a deep housing, so plan on a wire nut splice inside the ballast compartment if your tray sits far from the socket and tap connections.
10) What are the open circuit and short circuit values for testing this 70W HPS ballast?
Open circuit voltage is 120 V nominal, with an acceptable test window of 110 to 130 V. Secondary short circuit current reads 2.1 to 2.45 A. On the line side, open circuit input current is 1.46/0.86/0.73/0.64 A across the 120/208/240/277 taps and starting current is 0.85/0.51/0.43/0.39 A. Hipot is 2000 V for one minute or 2500 V for two seconds. Useful when a maintenance tech is deciding whether the ballast or the lamp failed.
11) Is the Philips 913700501309 a magnetic ballast or electronic, and does that matter for dimming?
Magnetic HID, core and coil construction, base model 71A7971. Magnetic HPS gear is not dimmable in the way electronic HID or LED drivers are, and it holds constant wattage deviation within the trapezoid on line voltage swings. If a facility is standardizing on dimming or controls, that's a case for relamping the fixture to LED instead of replacing the ballast.
12) Is this sold as a single ballast kit or a case?
One kit per pack, one pack per outer box, so ordering a quantity of one gets you a single 70W HPS core and coil assembly with its capacitor and ignitor. Order in multiples for a relamp program across a site.
