Advance 71A8172001D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can I use this ballast on 277V, or is it 120V only?
Multi-tap. The Advance 71A8172001D is rated 120/208/240/277V at 60Hz, so the same kit works on a 120V single-phase panel or a 277V circuit off a 480/277 system. You select the voltage by landing the line conductor on the correct tap lead at install, so confirm which tap you're wiring before you energize.
2) What comes in the quad kit, or do I need to buy a capacitor separately?
It's a complete core and coil quad kit: transformer plus the dry capacitor components needed to run the lamp. You are not sourcing a capacitor separately. What the kit does not include is the enclosure, lamp, socket, or mounting hardware, so a retrofit into an existing fixture uses that fixture's housing and lampholder.
3) Will this ballast fit inside my existing pole-top or wall-pack ballast tray?
The kit measures 3.94 x 3.80 x 2.81 inches and weighs 8.6 lbs. Measure the free space in your tray or housing against those three numbers before ordering, and account for the capacitor needing its own room. The 8.6 lb weight matters on a pole-top or a retrofit plate, since core and coil gear is heavy compared to an electronic ballast of the same wattage.
4) Is this ballast UL listed and CSA certified for a commercial building?
The Advance S55 kit carries UL recognition and a CSA certificate, and it's RoHS compliant. It's also made in the USA, which matters if you're buying under a domestic-preference or Buy American procurement rule.
5) Should I replace my HPS ballast or convert the fixture to LED?
If the lamp, socket and reflector in the fixture are in good shape and you just need light back on tonight, the ballast kit is the fast fix: a 150W S55 HPS core and coil is a like-for-like replacement and you keep the existing housing. Go LED instead when you're re-lamping a whole site and want to drop maintenance, since an HPS lamp is a consumable that a ballast swap doesn't eliminate. Core and coil gear like this is what you want in high-heat or high-vibration locations, such as parking lots and unconditioned warehouses.
6) Can I run two 150W HPS lamps off one of these ballasts?
No. It's a single-lamp ballast, rated for one 150W HPS lamp. Two fixtures means two kits.
7) What does the 0.9 power factor mean for the circuit I'm loading this on?
At 0.9 the ballast is a high power factor unit, so it draws less line current for the same 150W lamp load than a normal-power-factor ballast would. Practically, that means you can put more fixtures on one 120V branch circuit before you run out of ampacity. That high power factor comes from the capacitor included in the kit.
