Advance 71A7807001DB – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Advance 71A7807001DB ballast run a 50W metal halide lamp, or is it HPS only?
HPS only. The Advance 71A7807001DB is built for a single 50W high pressure sodium lamp carrying the S68 ANSI code. Metal halide lamps use their own ANSI designations and different electrical characteristics, so a 50W MH lamp will not operate correctly on it. Match the S68 marking on the lamp to the ballast before you order.
2) Is this 50W HPS ballast kit 120V only, or can I wire it to 277V?
120V only. The Advance 50W HPS magnetic HID ballast kit is rated 120 volts at 60 Hz with no multi-tap leads, so it cannot be landed on a 277V or 240V circuit. If your fixture is fed from a 277V lighting panel you need a ballast rated for that voltage instead.
3) Will this ballast fit in the small housing of my existing 50W HPS wall pack?
The core and coil measures 2.63 x 2.70 x 2.19 inches and the assembly weighs about 2 pounds, which is typical for a 50W HPS core mounted inside a wall pack or shoebox ballast tray. Measure your existing bracket hole pattern and the free space in the housing against those numbers before you pull the old one out.
4) What parts come in the Advance 50W HPS ballast kit besides the core?
It is a kit, so the capacitor is part of it: the 50W HPS S68 assembly is specified with a 20 MFD capacitor and includes the igniter needed for pulse start ignition of the sodium lamp. You supply the lamp, the socket, and the fixture wiring.
5) Can I put this 50W HPS ballast on a dimmer or an occupancy sensor for energy savings?
No dimming. This magnetic HID ballast is not dimmable, and its ballast factor is fixed at 1, so the lamp runs at full rated output whenever it is energized. Switching an HPS lamp on a sensor is also hard on the lamp because of the restrike delay. If a facility wants dimming or occupancy control, that is a job for an LED retrofit, not this ballast.
6) Does high power factor matter on a 50W HPS ballast for a parking lot with a lot of fixtures?
It does when you have many heads on one circuit. The high power factor rating means the ballast draws less line current for the same 50 watts of lamp load than a normal power factor unit, so you can get more fixtures on a branch circuit and see less loading on the feeder. On a single fixture the difference is small; across a parking structure or a site full of area lights it adds up.
7) Can one of these ballasts run two 50W HPS lamps in a twin-head fixture?
No. This is a single lamp ballast, so a two-head fixture needs one ballast and one capacitor per lamp. Order two kits for a twin head.
8) What does Class P thermal protection mean for a ballast going into an enclosed fixture?
Class P means the ballast has a built-in thermal cutout that opens if the winding gets too hot and resets once it cools. That is the protection inspectors look for on ballasts installed inside enclosed luminaires, and it is what keeps a failing lamp or a hot, poorly ventilated housing from cooking the core. This Advance 50W HPS ballast carries it.
9) Is this ballast made in the USA for a project with domestic sourcing requirements?
Country of origin on the Advance 50W HPS S68 ballast is the USA, which is what a public agency or institutional buyer needs to see when domestic content language is written into the spec. Get the specific compliance letter for your project from the documentation package covering the exact model.
