Philips Lighting 913700525409 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Does the capacitor come with this Philips core and coil HID ballast, and which one do I need?
The core and coil is the transformer only. A CWA circuit will not operate without its matched capacitor, and the specified one here is Philips 7C240P40R, 24 MFD rated at 400V with a 105 degree C rating. It measures 4.8 in high with a 1.75 in oval diameter, so allow for that in the fixture housing. There is no ignitor in this circuit.
2) Will this Philips core and coil fit the tray in my existing fixture?
Core size is 4 1/4 x 4 3/4 with a 2 coil build, and the piece weighs 5.421 kg. Measure the existing core and coil and the ballast tray opening before you order, and remember the 7C240P40R capacitor needs its own space at 4.8 in tall.
3) What fuse size should I use on a 400W metal halide CWA ballast?
Philips specifies 10 A on the 120V tap, 7 A on 208V, and 5 A on both 240V and 277V. Size to the tap you actually land on. Starting current is higher than running current (3.25 A at 120V), which is why the recommended values sit above nominal draw.
4) Can this ballast be mounted remotely from the fixture, and how far away?
Remote wiring is permitted with this Philips CWA ballast. The maximum ballast to lamp distance depends on the wire gauge used, so the run length is set by the AWG you pull, not by a fixed figure. The ballast leads themselves are 12 inch stranded wire.
5) Is this HID ballast good for outdoor parking lot and wall pack fixtures?
Yes, it is rated suitable for outdoor use, which covers area lighting, wall packs and pole heads housed in a weather rated fixture. The windings carry UL Insulation Class H at 180 degrees C, and temperature code 1029E with temperature marking D/E/D/E across the taps.
6) Why choose a CWA ballast instead of a reactor or high reactance type for metal halide?
CWA stands for constant wattage autotransformer. It holds lamp wattage within a 10 percent deviation as line voltage wanders, and its power factor is 0.9 with a ballast factor of 1, so the lamp sees full rated output. Reactor and high reactance circuits are simpler but tolerate far less line variation, which is why CWA is the usual pick for 400W metal halide in high bay and outdoor service where voltage is not tightly held.
7) How much power does a 400W metal halide fixture actually pull with this ballast?
Nominal input power is 455 W, not 400 W. The extra 55 W is ballast loss. Use 455 W per fixture when you are sizing a branch circuit or estimating energy load for a warehouse or lot retrofit.
8) Does this metal halide ballast restrike automatically after a power blip?
No. Automatic restart is not a feature of this ballast, so a momentary outage means the lamp has to cool before it will strike again, typically several minutes of dark. On egress paths or anywhere a drop out is unacceptable, plan on a quartz restrike fixture or separate emergency lighting.
9) Is the Philips 913700525409 UL Listed or UL Recognized?
It is UL Recognized, carrying the ULR approval mark. Recognized components are evaluated for use inside a listed end product such as a luminaire, rather than as a standalone listed device, which is the normal arrangement for a core and coil sold for fixture replacement work. Hipot tested to 2000 V for one minute and 2500 V for two seconds.
10) How do I confirm on the bench that a replacement 400W MH ballast is putting out the right open circuit voltage?
Open circuit voltage is rated 305 V, with an acceptable test range of 275 to 335 V measured with no lamp in the socket. Open circuit input current runs 3 A at 120V, 1.8 A at 208V, 1.5 A at 240V and 1.35 A at 277V. Readings outside those windows point to a bad capacitor or a failed winding.
11) What is the Philips base model number behind this HID ballast?
The ballast is built on Philips base model 71A6071, ordered as CORE & COIL HID 71A6071001D. Distributors cross-referencing older Advance or Philips paperwork will find the 71A6071 family designation on the unit itself. It ships one piece per pack, one pack per outer box.
