Philips Lighting 913710408101 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Philips 913710408101 ballast run a 100W pulse start metal halide lamp, or is it only for probe start?
It's built for 100W metal halide lamps carrying ANSI code M90-M140, which is the pulse start designation. Rated lamp power is 100 W and it drives one lamp per unit. A probe start 100W lamp (ANSI M90 probe versions aside) should be matched to the ANSI code printed on the lamp; if the lamp does not carry an M90-M140 pulse start code, it is not the right pairing for this ballast.
2) Can I wire this Philips F-CAN HID ballast on either 120V or 277V?
Yes, it's a dual-voltage 120/277V unit at 60 Hz. Nominal input current is 1.1 A on 120V and 0.48 A on 277V, with nominal input power of 125 W and a 0.9 power factor. Size branch circuit and fusing to the leg you actually land on: recommended fuse value is 6 A at 120V and 3 A at 277V.
3) Will this HID ballast fit inside my existing pole-top or shoebox fixture housing?
The F-Can metal can measures 11.75 x 2.63 x 3.19 inches, so measure the ballast tray or door channel against those three numbers before ordering. It's a can-style assembly with the capacitor and ignitor built inside the can, so you don't need to find space for separate components the way you would with a core-and-coil kit. Unit weight is 4.541 kg.
4) Can I mount this ballast remotely from the fixture and how far away?
Remote wiring is allowed, with a maximum ballast-to-lamp distance of 5 feet. That covers a ballast mounted in the pole base hand hole or a nearby junction box, but not a long run back to a panel or a ballast rack across the room. Beyond 5 feet the starting pulse degrades and the lamp will not strike reliably.
5) Is this Philips metal halide ballast OK for an outdoor parking lot or wall pack fixture?
It's rated suitable for outdoor use in a metal F-Can enclosure and carries a CSA certificate. Watch the thermal limit: the case is marked 90 degrees C maximum, with Class A (105 degrees C) insulation. In an enclosed wall pack or a tight pole head, confirm the ballast compartment stays under that case temperature. Note the ballast itself is not UL Recognized, which matters if your spec calls for a UL mark specifically.
6) What is the HX-HPF circuit type on this ballast and what does it mean for lamp performance?
HX-HPF means high reactance, high power factor: a lag-type magnetic circuit with a power factor correction capacitor, running 0.9 power factor. Constant wattage deviation is 12 percent, so lamp wattage will swing with line voltage more than a true CWA ballast would. If your site has unstable line voltage and you need tighter lamp wattage regulation, a constant wattage autotransformer ballast is the better circuit choice. Ballast factor is 1, so the lamp produces its rated lumens.
7) After a power blip, will this metal halide ballast restrike the lamp right away?
No. Automatic restart is not a feature of this unit, and a hot metal halide lamp needs to cool before it will strike again regardless. For areas where you can't tolerate a dark period after a momentary outage, plan on an instant-restrike lamp and ballast system or a battery backup egress fixture instead.
8) What part number do I order this Philips ballast by, and is the 72C5381 the same thing?
Order it as Philips 913710408101. The catalog description for it is F-CAN HID 72C5381NP001, and 72C5381 is the base model of the core assembly, so a fixture tagged 72C5381 points to this family. It ships one piece per pack, one pack per outer box.
9) What inrush should I allow for when sizing the circuit for these 100W metal halide ballasts?
Starting current is 2.2 A at 120V and 0.95 A at 277V, against a nominal running current of 1.1/0.48 A. Open circuit draw runs 2.55/1.1 A, which is what you see with a failed or missing lamp, so a bank of these sitting open circuit pulls well over normal load. Secondary short circuit current is 1.3 to 1.6 A. Recommended fusing is 6 A on 120V, 3 A on 277V.
10) What leads come on this ballast and how much wire do I have to work with?
Leads are stranded wire, 12 inches long, color coded, with a 0.5 mm strip length. Twelve inches gives you enough to land in a typical ballast compartment but not much slack, so mount the can close to the splice box or plan on extending the leads with rated connectors.
11) My 100W metal halide fixture draws more than 100W at the panel. Is that normal with this ballast?
Yes. Nominal input power is 125 W for a 100 W lamp, the difference being magnetic ballast losses. Budget 125 W per fixture when you calculate connected load or compare against an LED retrofit.
