Philips Lighting 913700574909 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What line voltages can I wire this 1500W HID ballast to?
Multi-tap: 120, 208, 240 or 277V at 60 Hz, so the same unit works across most commercial services. Pick the tap that matches your feed. Nominal input current runs 13.4A on 120V, 7.8A on 208V, 6.8A on 240V and 5.9A on 277V.
2) What size fuse should I use on a 1500W metal halide CWA ballast?
Philips gives the recommended fuse value by tap: 30A on 120V, 25A on 208V, 20A on 240V and 15A on 277V. Starting current is lower than running current on this CWA design (10.8A at 120V), so size the branch circuit off the nominal draw for your tap.
3) Does a capacitor come with this ballast, or do I have to order one separately?
The capacitor is a separate component on a core and coil CWA assembly. The one specified for this unit is 32 MFD rated 525V, catalog number MD3202100, with a 90C temperature rating. Physically it is 2 inches in oval diameter and 3.75 inches tall, which matters when you are fitting it into an existing ballast tray. No ignitor is used with this ballast.
4) Can I remote mount this HID ballast away from the fixture?
Yes, remote wiring is an allowed configuration. Philips does not give a fixed footage limit; the maximum ballast to lamp distance depends on the AWG of the wire you run, so heavier conductors buy you more distance. The factory leads are 12 inches long, stranded, stripped 0.5 mm, so plan on splicing in your own run.
5) Is this ballast OK for an outdoor pole or area light fixture?
It is suitable for outdoor use in HID fixtures, with an H(180C) UL insulation class on the windings. It is a UL Recognized Component (mark ULR), meaning it is approved for use inside a listed fixture assembly rather than as a standalone listed product, which is normal for core and coil HID ballasts.
6) What does the CWA circuit type mean for a 1500W metal halide install?
CWA stands for constant wattage autotransformer. It holds lamp wattage steady through line voltage swings, with a rated deviation of 12 percent, and gives a high power factor of 0.9 with a ballast factor of 1, so the lamp makes its full rated light output. Open circuit voltage is 460V nominal, tested 414 to 506V. If your site has soft or fluctuating power, CWA is the circuit you want over a simple reactor type.
7) How much power does a 1500W metal halide ballast actually pull at the panel?
Nominal input power is 1610W, not 1500W, because the ballast itself consumes roughly 110W above the lamp's rated 1500W. Use the 1610W figure when you are totaling connected load for a panel schedule or an energy calculation.
8) Does this ballast restrike a hot metal halide lamp automatically?
No. Automatic restart is not a feature of this unit, so after a momentary power interruption the lamp has to cool before it will restrike, the usual several minutes for a 1500W metal halide. If your application cannot tolerate that dark period, plan on quartz restrike in the fixture or a backup luminaire.
9) Will this core and coil assembly fit the ballast tray in my existing fixture?
The core size is 4 1/4 x 6 (2 Coil NB), which is the dimension to measure against your existing core and coil before pulling the old one. Net weight is 14.370 kg per piece, so it needs a tray or mounting plate rated for it, and it ships one unit per pack.
