GE Lighting 73190 GE232MAXP-H/Ultra High Power Ballast Factor T8 Ballast

SKU CH-WVC1-5RSFX

Drives one or two F32T8 lamps at 120-277 V with over 90% efficiency and anti-striation circuitry

  • Overall sizeHigh Power Ballast Factor
  • Supports one or two F32T8 lamps for flexible fixture design
  • Operates on 120, 208, 240 or 277 volts for multi-voltage installs
  • Exceeds 90 percent electrical efficiency to reduce energy consumption
  • Anti-striation circuitry prevents spiral lamp flicker
  • Compact 9 by .9 inch case with .3 inch mounting slots

Ballast for one or two F32T8 lamps

The GE232MAXP-H/Ultra electronic ballast drives one or two F32T8 fluorescent tubes from a single unit. It suits commercial and institutional fixtures that need a compact multi-volt solution for standard T8 lighting. Installers can wire it for either lamp count without changing hardware.

Efficiency above 90 percent at 120 to 277 volts

The ballast operates on 120, 208, 240 or 277 volt supplies while maintaining more than 90 percent electrical efficiency. Instant start circuitry lights lamps quickly with low lamp-current crest factor. Anti-striation circuitry suppresses the spiraling effect that can appear on long tubes.

Nine-inch by 0.9-inch footprint

Mounting dimensions measure 9 inches long by 0.9 inches wide, and the slots are set 0.3 inches apart. The narrow profile fits standard channel and troffer housings. Multi-volt sensing lets the unit adapt automatically to the incoming line voltage.

Questions about this item

How do I mount the 9-Inch L x .9-Inch W ballast and wire it for 120/277-Volt supply?

Mount using the slots set .3-Inch apart, connect the multi-volt input leads to the branch circuit, then wire the lamp leads to one or two F32T8 lamps following the diagram on the label.

What components typically need replacement after extended operation?

The ballast itself is the service item; when lamp flicker or failure to start appears, replace the GE232MAXP-H/Ultra unit rather than individual internal parts.

At what point does the anti-striation circuitry reach its limit during continuous use?

The circuitry prevents spiraling under normal multi-volt operation; sustained over-temperature or voltage outside the 120-277 range will cause the protection to trip first.
