Philips Lighting 913710407801 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Philips 913710407801 ballast run a probe-start 70W metal halide lamp?
No. The 913710407801 F-CAN ballast uses an ANSI M98 (pulse-start) circuit, so it needs a 70W pulse-start metal halide lamp. Probe-start 70W MH lamps run on a different ANSI code circuit and should not be paired with it. Check the ANSI code printed on the lamp before you install.
2) Can this 70W metal halide ballast be wired for both 120V and 277V?
Yes, it is a dual-voltage 120/277V ballast at 60 Hz. Nominal input current is 0.85A on 120V and 0.37A on 277V, and the recommended fuse value follows the same order, 4A for 120V and 2A for 277V. You select the voltage by which input lead you connect, so the same part covers both a 120V tenant circuit and a 277V commercial lighting branch.
3) How far can I mount this HID ballast away from the lamp?
Remote mounting is allowed, with a maximum ballast-to-lamp distance of 10 feet. That covers a remote ballast box or a pole base feeding a nearby fixture head, but anything beyond 10 feet is outside the rating and risks unreliable starting on the pulse-start circuit.
4) Will this ballast fit inside my existing metal halide fixture housing?
The metal F-can measures 11.75 x 2.63 x 3.19 inches and weighs 4.086 kg, so measure the ballast tray or compartment in your luminaire against those three numbers before ordering. Lead wires are 12 inches long and stranded, stripped 0.5 mm, which limits how far the can can sit from the wiring compartment.
5) Do I need to buy a separate capacitor and ignitor for this pulse-start ballast?
No. On the 913710407801 both the capacitor and the ignitor are supplied inside the can, so it ships as a complete pulse-start assembly. It ships one piece per pack, one pack per box, and drives a single lamp, so order one per fixture.
6) Is this ballast approved for outdoor parking lot and wall pack fixtures?
Yes, it is rated suitable for outdoor use and carries a CSA certificate, which is what lets it go into exterior area, roadway, and security luminaires. Case temperature marking is 90 C max with UL Insulation Class A (105 C), so the enclosure it sits in has to keep the can at or below that 90 C case limit.
7) What is the difference between an HX-HPF ballast and a constant-wattage HID ballast?
HX-HPF, the circuit used here, is a high-reactance high-power-factor design: fewer components, a 0.9 nominal power factor, and a constant wattage deviation of 10 percent, meaning lamp wattage moves about 10 percent as line voltage swings. A CWA (constant wattage autotransformer) ballast holds lamp wattage tighter over a wider input voltage range and is the better choice where the supply is unstable. For a clean 120V or 277V branch feeding a 70W MH head, the HX-HPF is the normal fit.
8) How much load does a 70W metal halide fixture with this ballast draw on the circuit?
Figure 94W nominal input power for the ballast and lamp together, above the 70W rated lamp power because of ballast losses. Starting current is 1.25A at 120V or 0.55A at 277V, so size branch breakers and inrush allowance for that, not just the running 0.85A/0.37A.
9) Will this ballast restrike the lamp on its own after a power blip?
No, automatic restart is not a feature of this ballast. After a momentary outage the metal halide lamp has to cool before it will reignite, and the fixture relights only when the ballast is re-energized. If you need light immediately after a dropout at a security or egress location, plan on a separate quartz restrike fixture or an instant-on source instead.
10) Is the Philips 913710407801 the same as base model 72C5282?
Yes. 913710407801 is the ordering number and the ballast is built on Philips base model 72C5282, catalogued as F-CAN HID 72C5282NP001. If your old ballast label reads 72C5282, this is the matching 70W pulse-start F-can.
11) What open circuit voltage should I read at the lamp socket when testing this ballast?
Open circuit voltage is 255V nominal, with an acceptable test window of 230 to 280V. Secondary short circuit current runs 0.95 to 1.2A. If your meter reads outside the 230 to 280V band with no lamp installed, the ballast or capacitor is the suspect rather than the lamp.
12) Can I use this ballast to run two 70W metal halide lamps off one can?
No, it drives one lamp per unit. Two heads means two ballasts. Ballast factor is 1, so the lamp delivers its rated 70W light output rather than a reduced or boosted level.
