Encapsulated Magnetic HID Ballasts

For High Intensity Discharge (HID) Lighting Applications
Where quiet performance is required across the range of commercial, retail, and institutional applications, our encapsulated core and coil ballasts expand on the basic core and coil HID ballast design by encapsulating (potting) the ballasts in a cube-shaped steel can that subsequently carries a Class A or Class B noise rating. At the heart of this product, however, remains our exclusive core and coil design and manufacturing process, which insures unparalleled reliability and safety as well as superior performance.

Our encapsulated core and coil ballasts are ideal in such applications as commercial offices, libraries, schools, and houses of worship.

Features	Benefits
Exclusive vacuum impregnation process eliminates air pockets	Insures cooler, quieter, long-life operation
Potting within a steel can utilizing Class H (180°C) polyester compound	Reduces ballast noise, enabling ballasts up through 175 watts to carry a Class A noise rating and 250-watt and 400-watt ballast models to carry a Class B noise rating
UL Class H thermal insulation (180°C maximum coil hot spot temperature) for ballasts below 600 watts	Maximizes heat dissipation and moisture resistance
UL Class N thermal insulation (200°C maximum coil hot spot temperature) for ballasts above 600 watts	Widens design and application possibilities for fixture manufacturers and end users
Capacitor/ignitor mounted separately within fixture	Enhances flexibility of mounting and assembly
