Energy-Efficient GE232-MVPS-L Ballast for T8 Fluorescent Lamps

The GE 96720 GE232-MVPS-L 120/277-volt Ultra Start Electronic Fluorescent T8 Programmed Rapid Start Ballast is designed to accommodate up to 2 or 1 F32T8 lamps. This ballast is highly versatile, as it can operate on a range of voltages from 120 to 277 volts, making it suitable for a variety of unique projects.

One of the key features of this ballast is its ability to extend the lamp life in frequently switched applications, with a lifespan of more than 100,000 on/off cycles. This makes it an excellent choice for areas where lights are often turned on and off, such as in commercial or industrial settings.

Additionally, the ballast is highly efficient, with more than 90% efficiency. This translates to significant energy savings, making it an environmentally friendly and cost-effective option for lighting applications.

The mounting dimensions of the ballast are 8.9-inch in length and 1.1-inch in width, with the mounting slots set 0.3-inch apart. This compact design allows for easy installation in a variety of spaces.

One of the standout features of the GE 96720 GE232-MVPS-L ballast is its ability to provide greater than 100,000 starts, which is equivalent to the energy savings of instant start ballasts. However, it also offers a long lamp life similar to a programmed start ballast, making it a versatile choice for a wide range of applications.

The ballast operates quietly, with less than 10% Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) in most 120-volt applications. This ensures a comfortable and unobtrusive lighting environment.

To further enhance the performance and reliability of the ballast, it features anti-striation circuitry, which helps to eliminate and prevent the spiraling effect from lights. Additionally, the ballast has a sound rating of Class A (20-24 decibels), ensuring a quiet operation.

The ballast factor rating of this unit is Low .77, which means it will provide maximum power savings by reducing the light output and wattage of each lamp. This feature allows for more lamps to be used in the same area to achieve a certain foot-candle level, further optimizing energy efficiency.

The parallel lamp operation of the GE 96720 GE232-MVPS-L ballast ensures that if one lamp fails, the others will remain operational, making maintenance and management easier.

Lastly, the ballast is compliant with various industry standards for quality and safety, including UL Type 1 Outdoor, UL Type HL, UL Class P, ANSI C62.41, NEMA Premium, and ROHS, ensuring a reliable and safe performance.
