Philips Lighting 913701246101 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What lamps does the Philips CENTIUM ICN2S5490CN35I ballast run?
It drives F54T5/HO lamps at 54 W rated lamp power, one or two lamps per ballast. Lamps are wired in series. If your fixture uses T8 or standard-output T5 lamps, this is the wrong ballast - the T5HO 54 W lamp is what it is built around.
2) Will this Philips CENTIUM T5HO ballast run on both 120V and 277V?
Yes. The ICN2S5490CN35I accepts any line voltage from 120 to 277 V at 50 to 60 Hz, so the same part covers 120V residential-style circuits and 277V commercial lighting panels. Input current runs 0.43 A at the high end of the voltage range up to 1.00 A at the low end.
3) Will this ballast fit in my existing fluorescent fixture channel?
The metal housing measures 9.5 x 1.3 x 1.0 inches, which is the standard small-can footprint most T5HO strip and troffer channels are cut for. Measure your existing can before ordering - if the old ballast is a longer or taller case, you may need to verify mounting hole spacing. Piece weight is 441 g.
4) How far can I run the wiring from this ballast to the lamps?
Twenty feet is the limit in every configuration: remote, tandem, and through wiring all allow up to 20 feet from ballast to lamp. That covers most strip runs and remote-mount cove installs. Tandem and through wiring are both permitted, so you can feed two fixtures from a single ballast within that 20 foot distance.
5) Is this a programmed start ballast, and why does that matter for my application?
Programmed start, with a 1.5 second ignition time. That matters anywhere lamps cycle frequently - occupancy sensor controlled offices, restrooms, stairwells, parking structures. Programmed start preheats the cathodes before striking, which protects lamp life under repeated switching. Instant start would give you faster strike but shorter lamp life on sensor circuits.
6) Can I use this Philips ballast in an outdoor or unheated fixture?
Yes, it is rated suitable for outdoor use. The maximum case temperature is 90 C, so the ballast case itself must stay at or under that in service - in a hot, enclosed outdoor housing in full sun, check the case temp at the ballast location rather than assuming.
7) Does this ballast come with leads or do I need to wire to terminals?
It ships with solid 18 AWG lead wires, not screw terminals or a plug connector - there are no input or output terminals and no connector on the unit. Strip length for the leads is 0.50/0.375 mm. Plan on wire nuts or push-in connectors at the fixture.
8) What ballast factor does the Philips ICN2S5490CN35I have - will my lamps run at full output?
Ballast factor is 1.0 nominal, so lamps run at full rated light output. Input power is 119-117 W for the two-lamp configuration. Power factor is 0.98 and total harmonic distortion is 10 percent, which keeps it inside the low-THD limits most commercial lighting specs call for.
9) Will this ballast restart on its own after a lamp is replaced?
Yes, automatic restart is built in. Pull a failed lamp, drop a new one in, and the ballast re-strikes without cycling power at the panel. That is worth having on multi-fixture maintenance rounds where killing the circuit for each relamp costs time.
10) What approvals does the Philips CENTIUM ICN2S5490CN35I carry?
It holds a CSA certificate and meets the FCC Non-Consumer EMC immunity standard. The FCC Non-Consumer classification is the commercial and industrial emissions category, not the tighter residential one, so it suits commercial buildings rather than dwellings.
11) Will this ballast hum in a quiet office or classroom?
Sound rating is A, the quietest class for fluorescent ballasts. That is what you want in classrooms, libraries, private offices, and conference rooms where ballast hum carries.
12) How many of these ballasts come in a case?
Each pack is a single ballast, and the outer box holds 10 packs. If you are standardizing a floor of T5HO troffers, ordering by the 10-piece box is the practical unit.
