Philips Lighting 913700534809 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will this Philips 250W metal halide ballast run my existing lamp, or do I need to check the ANSI code first?
Check the ANSI code on the lamp. The Philips Core & Coil ballast is built for a single 250W metal halide lamp carrying ANSI code M58, with a 300V open circuit voltage. If your lamp is a different ANSI designation (a pulse-start or high pressure sodium type, for example), this ballast is the wrong match even at the same wattage.
2) Does a capacitor come with this CWA ballast, or do I order it separately?
A CWA circuit will not operate without its capacitor. The one specified for this 250W metal halide ballast is 15 MFD, 400V, rated to 105 degrees C, catalog number 7C150P40R, measuring 1.75 in across the oval and 3.75 in tall. No ignitor is used with this ballast. Make sure you have that capacitor on hand and the space in the fixture housing before you start the swap.
3) Can I use this HID ballast in an outdoor pole light or wall pack?
Yes, it is rated suitable for outdoor use and is a UL Recognized Component with insulation class H (180 degrees C) and UL temperature code 1029B. It is a recognized component, not a standalone listed device, so it goes inside a fixture or ballast housing rather than being mounted bare.
4) Can the ballast be mounted remotely away from the fixture?
Remote wiring is allowed on this Philips core and coil ballast. How far you can run it is determined by the AWG you use, so size the conductors for the run rather than assuming a fixed maximum. The ballast ships with 12 inch stranded leads coded by color, with a 0.5 mm strip length.
5) What fuse should I use on a 250W M58 CWA ballast circuit?
The recommended fuse value tracks the tap: 8 A on 120V, 5 A on 208V, 5 A on 240V and 3 A on 277V. Starting current is 2.2/1.3/1.1/1 A across the same taps, which is below the nominal running current, so a fast-acting fuse sized to the table will not nuisance trip on strike.
6) Why choose a CWA magnetic ballast instead of a reactor or high reactance type?
CWA stands for constant wattage autotransformer. It holds lamp wattage within a 10 percent deviation as line voltage swings, which matters on long outdoor feeders and site lighting where voltage sags. A reactor or lag ballast has no such regulation and needs the line voltage to match the lamp. This one runs a 0.9 power factor with 298 W nominal input for a 250 W lamp, and ballast factor is 1, so the lamp gives full rated light output.
7) Will this ballast restrike the lamp right away after a power blip?
No. Automatic restart is not a feature of this ballast, so after an interruption the metal halide lamp has to cool before it will strike again, typically several minutes. If your site needs light immediately after an outage, plan on a quartz restrike fixture or a separate emergency source rather than expecting this ballast to fire a hot lamp.
8) How much room and weight does this core and coil ballast add to the fixture?
The core measures 4 1/4 by 4 3/4 in a two coil build, and net weight is 4.523 kg per piece. On a pole-mounted head or a retrofit into an existing ballast tray, check that both the core footprint and the separate 1.75 by 3.75 inch capacitor will sit in the housing before you commit.
9) How many ballasts come in a box when I order this Philips part?
It ships one per pack and one pack per outer box, so a single order quantity gets you one ballast, sold as the Philips Core and Coil HID 71A5770001D. For a multi-fixture relamp and reballast, order a count that matches the fixtures.
