HOLOPHANE® Pulse Start Metal Halide: Pulse start ballasts are for metal halide lamps that require a high voltage pulse for starting. Peak lead, reactor, lag and magnetic regulator ballasts are all available in pulse start configurations. Starters are required, however the pulse requirements may vary with lamp wattage. Starters for HPS ballasts are not interchangeable with those for pulse start metal halide.
BALLAST TYPES:
Reactor
HX – High Reactance
A reactor may be used when the input voltage to the luminaire meets the operational voltage requirements of a metal halide lamp. A ±5% line voltage variation will result in a ±12% in lamp wattage. Power factor is typically above 90% when the capacitor is included. The maximum line current is drawn when the lamp is not operating.
