Advance 71A8453001D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will this Advance 400W ballast run a 400W metal halide lamp, or is it sodium only?
High pressure sodium only. The Advance 71A8453001D is built to the S51 ANSI code, which is the 400W HPS designation, and the lamp type on the spec sheet is HPS. A 400W metal halide lamp uses a different ANSI code and will not operate correctly on it. Match the S51 marking on the lamp to the S51 on the ballast and you are in the right family.
2) Can I wire a 400W HPS ballast to 480 volts in an industrial building?
Yes. This Advance magnetic HID ballast is a 5-tap unit rated 120/208/240/277/480 V at 60 Hz, so the same core and coil can be landed on any of those five supplies by moving the tap lead. That is what makes it usable across a mixed facility without stocking five different ballasts. Cap off the unused taps per the wiring diagram.
3) Is this ballast UL listed for a commercial job that requires listed components?
It carries UL recognition and a CSA certificate, and it is RoHS compliant. It also has Class P thermal protection, which is the self-resetting thermal cutout inspectors look for on a ballast installed inside a luminaire. Country of origin is the USA, which matters if the job has domestic sourcing language.
4) I am replacing a failed 400W sodium ballast in a warehouse high bay. Is this a direct swap?
If the existing lamp is a 400W HPS marked S51 and the fixture is fed from 120, 208, 240, 277 or 480 volts, the Advance 71A8453001D covers it as a component swap. It is a single-lamp, pulse start magnetic kit, so confirm the old assembly was also single-lamp and that the tray has room for a 17.1 lb unit. Reuse of the old capacitor is not needed; the 55 MFD cap comes with the kit.
5) Does the 400W HPS ballast kit come with the capacitor, or do I order that separately?
The kit is specified with a 55 MFD capacitor as part of the assembly, along with the core and coil and the igniter needed for pulse starting. It drives one lamp. You supply the lamp, the socket, and the enclosure or fixture housing.
6) Can I dim the parking lot lights if I use this ballast?
No. This magnetic HID ballast is non-dimmable and runs at a ballast factor of 1, meaning full rated lamp lumens whenever it is energized. For step dimming or scheduled light reduction on a lot, you need a different control strategy or a different lighting platform entirely.
7) What does a 0.9 power factor mean for my panel load on a bank of 400W HPS fixtures?
A 0.9 power factor is high power factor, so line current stays close to the real load rather than running well above it. Practically, that means more 400W HPS fixtures per branch circuit than a normal power factor ballast would allow, and less voltage drop on a long parking lot run. Size the circuit off the measured input current at the tap voltage you use.
8) Will this 60 Hz ballast work on a 50 Hz supply overseas?
No. The frequency rating is 60 Hz, which is North American service. Running a magnetic HID core and coil on 50 Hz changes the impedance and the lamp current, so it is not a safe substitution regardless of matching the voltage tap.
