Plusrite 7278 BAPS450-CWA/V5 450W HID Magnetic Pulse Start Metal Halide Ballast Kit 120/208/240/277/480V

The Plusrite 7278 BAPS450-CWA/V5 is a 450-watt magnetic pulse start metal halide ballast kit designed to operate ANSI M144 pulse start metal halide lamps. Featuring five-tap 120/208/240/277/480V input capability, a CWA (Constant Wattage Autotransformer) circuit type, and a complete pre-wired component kit, this ballast provides dependable starting and operating performance for commercial and industrial HID lighting systems.

This ballast kit is engineered for five-tap voltage installations and includes the components required for pulse start metal halide operation. Its Constant Wattage Autotransformer (CWA) design provides stable lamp performance, high power factor operation, and reliable compatibility with ANSI M144 pulse start metal halide systems.

Operating from 120/208/240/277/480V input, the ballast consumes 504 input watts with maximum line currents of 4.40A (120V), 2.50A (208V), 2.20A (240V), 1.90A (277V), and 1.10A (480V). The ballast measures 2.00 × 3.90 inches, weighs 11.5 lbs, utilizes coil temperature code D/D/C/C/C, requires a 26µF / 330V minimum capacitor, and uses wiring diagram E-V5.
