Philips Lighting 913700571809 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will this Philips 70W metal halide ballast run my lamp if it's an ANSI M98 or M143?
Yes. The Philips 913700571809 core and coil magnetic ballast is built for 70W metal halide lamps carrying ANSI codes M98 through M143, one lamp per ballast. If the lamp's ANSI designator on the bulb or carton falls outside that range, or it's a high pressure sodium lamp, this is the wrong ballast.
2) Can I use this 70W MH ballast on 277 volts, or do I need to order a different one?
It's a quad-tap ballast, so the same unit wires to 120, 208, 240 or 277V at 60 Hz. You pick the tap in the field. Nominal input current runs 0.85A on 120V, 0.49A on 208V, 0.42A on 240V and 0.37A on 277V, with recommended fusing of 4/3/2/2 amps across those same taps.
3) Does the Philips 913700571809 ballast come with the capacitor and ignitor, or do I order those separately?
The kit ships with both matched components: a 7C080L30RA capacitor, 8 MFD at 280V rated 105C, and an LI533-H4 ignitor also rated 105C. The capacitor measures 1.25 in oval diameter by 2.75 in high, which matters when you're checking clearance inside an existing ballast tray.
4) Can I mount this HID ballast in a pole base or remote enclosure away from the fixture head?
Remote mounting is allowed, up to 15 feet of ballast-to-lamp lead. Go beyond that and starting reliability suffers. The unit is also rated for outdoor use, so a pole base or weatherproof remote box is a legitimate location for it.
5) What's the difference between an HX-HPF ballast and a CWA for a 70W metal halide fixture?
This Philips unit is an HX-HPF (high reactance, high power factor) circuit with a nominal 0.9 power factor and constant wattage deviation of 7 percent, drawing 92W nominal input for a 70W lamp. HX-HPF is the usual choice at the lower metal halide wattages where the lamp is tolerant of line swings. A CWA circuit regulates lamp wattage more tightly against line voltage variation and is the one to specify where the supply is unstable or the fixture spec calls for constant wattage autotransformer. Replace like for like whenever you can, and match the ballast circuit type to what the fixture label calls out.
6) Will this ballast restrike a hot metal halide lamp after a power blip?
No. Automatic restart is not a feature of this ballast, so after an interruption the lamp has to cool before it will strike again, typically several minutes of darkness. If the site needs light immediately after a momentary outage, plan on a quartz restrike fixture or an emergency egress head rather than expecting the ballast to handle it.
7) Is this Philips core and coil ballast UL listed, and what temperature class is the insulation?
It is UL Recognized, carrying the ULR approval mark, with Class H insulation rated 180C and UL temperature code 1029A. Temperature marking is A on all four taps. Note that UL Recognized means it's a component approved for use inside a listed luminaire, not a standalone listed assembly, so it goes into a fixture or an enclosure rather than being installed bare.
8) What open circuit voltage should I read at the ballast output when troubleshooting a 70W MH fixture that won't strike?
Open circuit voltage on this ballast is 255V nominal, with an acceptable test window of 230 to 280V. Secondary short circuit current runs 1.03 to 1.26 A. If you read well outside the 230-280V band with the lamp removed and line voltage correct on the tap you're using, the core is suspect; if OCV is good and the lamp still won't strike, look at the LI533-H4 ignitor next.
9) How many ballasts come in a box when I order the Philips 913700571809?
One. It's sold as a single ballast kit, one piece per pack and one pack per outer box, so an order quantity of ten means ten individual ballast kits. The factory order product name is CORE & COIL HID 71A5292001D, base model 71A5292, which is what you'll see on the carton label.
10) Does this magnetic ballast run the 70W lamp at full output, or is it a reduced-wattage unit?
Full output. Ballast factor is 1.0 against the rated 70W lamp power, so you get the lamp's rated lumens, not a de-rated level. Nominal input power is 92W, and the difference is normal magnetic ballast loss.
