Product identity

The Advance 71A8142-001D is a magnetic HID ballast kit rated for 150 W maximum bulb power. It is designed for lighting installations that use a single high-pressure sodium lamp.

Critical specification

This kit operates on a 480 V AC supply at 60 Hz and carries ANSI code S55. The input power is 188 W and the ballast factor is 1, so the circuit must be wired for these exact electrical parameters.

Thermals and power

The ballast starts reliably down to -40 °F and draws 188 W during normal operation. Magnetic construction means audible hum is typical and the unit will run warm, so mount it where ventilation can dissipate the heat.
