Philips Advance T8 Fluorescent Ballast - 120-277V AC | Instant Start

The Philips Advance T8 Fluorescent Ballast, model IOPA1P32N35M, is the component described here. This model is a replacement ballast for the matching fluorescent lamp circuit. Select it from the lamp schedule inside the existing fixture. The 1 X F32T8 operating configuration distinguishes this ballast from versions intended for a different lamp count. Its specified starting method is instant start; compare it with the existing circuit rather than relying on the housing dimensions alone. When comparing replacements, note the 0.91 ballast factor as well as the lamp and supply ratings.

This version is specified for 120-277V AC; that rating is part of the selection when replacing an existing fitting. The listed body dimensions are length 9.50 in., width 1.30 in., height 1.00 in.; use them when checking the available space around the ballast compartment. Follow the wiring diagram for this model when making the replacement connections.

Buying tip: Match the lamp designation, number of lamps and supply voltage to the existing ballast.
