Philips Lighting 913700556509 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Philips 913700556509 core and coil ballast run a 150W metal halide lamp, or only HPS?
HPS only. This core and coil assembly is built for a 150W high pressure sodium lamp carrying ANSI code S55, and it ships with an ignitor (LI551-H4) that HPS needs. A 150W metal halide lamp uses a different ANSI designation and a different ballast circuit, so it will not run correctly here. Match the ANSI code printed on the lamp to S55 before wiring it in.
2) Is the Philips 913700556509 HPS ballast multi-tap, and what does it draw on each voltage?
It is a multi-tap ballast with 120, 208, 240 and 277V leads at 60 Hz. Nominal input current runs 1.65A at 120V, 0.95A at 208V, 0.83A at 240V and 0.72A at 277V, with nominal input power of 190W. Starting current is 2/1.15/1/0.85A across those same taps, which is what you size the branch circuit against.
3) Can I mount this 150W HPS ballast away from the fixture in a pole base?
Remote mounting is permitted, but the ballast to lamp distance is capped at 2 feet. That is short, so a pole base install only works if the lamp head is right above it. Supplied leads are stranded, 12 inches long by color, with a 0.5 mm strip length, so allow for splices and a weatherproof junction if you separate the two.
4) What fuse size should I use on a 150W HPS core and coil ballast?
Recommended fuse values track the tap you land on: 10A at 120V, 5A at 208V, 5A at 240V and 4A at 277V. Those match the 1.65/0.95/0.83/0.72A nominal input currents on the same taps. Fusing per tap is the normal practice on pole and area lighting so a single ballast failure does not drop the whole circuit.
5) Is this Philips core and coil ballast OK for an outdoor parking lot or wall pack fixture?
Yes, it is rated suitable for outdoor use, which is why it turns up in area and site lighting rebuilds. Insulation is UL Class H (180 degrees C) with UL temperature code 1029E and a temperature marking of E on all four taps. It carries the UL Recognized mark (ULR), meaning it is a component intended to be installed inside a listed fixture or enclosure rather than run on its own.
6) What is HX-HPF, and does it matter for my 150W HPS retrofit?
HX-HPF stands for high reactance, high power factor. On the Philips 913700556509 it gives a nominal 0.9 power factor and holds lamp wattage within the ANSI trapezoid, so lamp output stays predictable as line voltage moves. Open circuit voltage is 120V, tested 110 to 130V. If the old ballast in the fixture was a reactor or a constant wattage autotransformer type, the electrical behavior differs, so confirm the ANSI S55 designation on the label you are replacing.
7) Does this Philips HPS ballast restrike automatically after a power blip?
No automatic restart. Like most HPS gear, the lamp has to cool before it will reignite, so after a momentary outage expect several minutes of darkness. If instant re-strike is a requirement for a security or egress area, HPS core and coil is the wrong technology for that opening.
8) How many lamps will the Philips 913700556509 ballast run, and how is it packaged?
One lamp per unit, single 150W HPS. It ships one piece per pack, one pack per outer box, so quantity ordered equals ballast assemblies received. Base model reference on the unit is 71A8172, sold under the order product name CORE & COIL HID 71A8172001D.
