Philips Lighting 913710268501 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What lamps does the Philips CENTIUM ICN4S5490C2LSG35I ballast run, and how many?
The CENTIUM ICN4S5490C2LSG35I drives F54T5/HO lamps rated 54W each, wired in a series lamp connection, and runs 3 or 4 lamps per unit. It will not operate standard T5 (non-HO) or T8 lamps, so the fixture has to be lamped with 54W T5/HO tubes.
2) Will this Philips T5/HO ballast work on both 120V and 277V circuits?
Yes. It is a universal-voltage unit accepting 120 to 277V at 50 to 60 Hz, so the same part works on a 120V single-family panel or a 277V commercial lighting circuit. Line current runs 0.86A at the high-voltage end up to 2.00A at 120V, which is what you size the branch circuit and lighting contactor against.
3) Will this ballast fit in my existing T5/HO fixture channel?
The metal Type G case measures 16.7 x 1.7 x 1.18 inches, so you need a wireway with at least that much clear length. Type G is the long, low-profile can common in linear T5 strips and high bays. Measure the existing ballast channel before ordering; a short 9-inch can will not take it.
4) How far can the ballast sit from the lamps on a remote-mounted install?
Up to 20 feet between ballast and lamp is allowed in remote wiring, and the same 20 foot limit applies on the blue and brown leads for tandem and through wiring. Use 18AWG solid wire for those runs. That lets you mount the ballast in an accessible box and feed a cove, sign, or high fixture without pulling the ballast down for service.
5) Can I use this ballast in an outdoor or unheated fixture?
Yes, the CENTIUM ICN4S5490C2LSG35I is rated suitable for outdoor use inside a suitable fixture enclosure. Watch the case temperature limit: 90 degrees C maximum at the T-case point. In a hot, enclosed outdoor housing that is the number that decides ballast life.
6) Why choose a programmed-start ballast over instant start for T5/HO fixtures?
Programmed start preheats the cathodes before striking the arc, which protects lamp electrodes where the lights cycle frequently, as with occupancy sensors, stairwells, and daylight controls. This one uses a 1.5-second nominal ignition time and restarts automatically after a lamp is replaced or power is restored. Instant start costs less lamp life under heavy switching; if your fixtures run for long uninterrupted hours instead, instant start is the usual choice.
7) Does this ballast come with quick-connect terminals or a plug connector?
No. The CENTIUM ICN4S5490C2LSG35I ships with no input terminals, no output terminals, and no connector, so it is a leads-out unit you wire and splice yourself. Plan on wire nuts or push-in connectors at the fixture, and strip the leads to 0.50/0.375 mm per the spec.
8) What approvals does the Philips CENTIUM ICN4S5490C2LSG35I carry?
It holds a CSA certificate and meets FCC Non-Consumer EMC immunity requirements. It is not UL Recognized, so if your facility spec or AHJ requires a UL Recognized component specifically, this is not the part to submit.
9) Is this ballast quiet enough for an office or library ceiling?
It carries a Hum and Noise Level rating of A, the quietest class on the fluorescent ballast scale, so it suits classrooms, offices, and other low-ambient-noise spaces where a buzzing ballast gets called in as a complaint.
10) What is the correct order designation for this Philips T5/HO ballast for a submittal?
Write it as Philips CENTIUM ICN4S5490C2LSG35I, base model ICN4S5490C2LSG. It is an electronic fluorescent ballast for three or four 54W F54T5/HO lamps. Cartons hold six pieces per outer box, one ballast per pack, and each ballast weighs 0.894 kg.
