Product Overview

Philips Advance Optanium IOPA3P32HLN35M (913701254302) 3-Lamp High Ballast Factor T8 Electronic Ballast — 120-277V, Instant Start

The Philips Advance Optanium IOPA3P32HLN35M (12NC: 913701254302) is a commercial-grade 3-lamp (or 2-lamp) high ballast factor instant start electronic ballast engineered for linear fluorescent T8 lighting systems. Operating on universal 120–277V line voltage with an IntelliVolt input range, this N-can ballast delivers an elevated 1.16 ballast factor and 108–110 nominal input watts to maximize light output in high-ceiling commercial troffers, industrial strips, and retail fixtures. Built with parallel lamp circuitry, lamp striation reduction technology, and remote wiring capabilities up to 20 feet, it maintains independent lamp operation so remaining lamps stay illuminated if one fails. Always verify lamp quantity, system voltage, enclosure dimensions, and required ballast factor prior to ordering.

Product Overview

The Philips Advance Optanium IOPA3P32HLN35M (12NC: 913701254302) is a high-efficiency electronic fluorescent ballast engineered to operate two or three 32W T8 linear lamps with elevated light output. Featuring an exceptional 1.16 high ballast factor, this ballast delivers maximum lumen output from standard T8 lamps, making it the premier choice for high-ceiling retail spaces, warehouse distribution centers, and industrial facilities requiring intense illumination.

Built with instant start ignition and parallel wiring circuitry, the IOPA3P32HLN ensures that if an individual lamp in the fixture fails, the remaining lamps stay illuminated without interruption. The Optanium series integrates proprietary lamp striation reduction technology to eliminate the visual spiraling and swirling commonly experienced with energy-saving T8 lamps.

Housed in a compact, low-profile metal "N-Can" measuring 9.50" L x 1.30" W x 1.00" H, the ballast fits neatly into narrow architectural troffers and strip luminaires. With universal 120–277V IntelliVolt capability, low total harmonic distortion (<10%), and remote wiring distances up to 20 feet, it offers robust, energy-efficient performance backed by NEMA Premium efficiency certification.

Compatible Applications

High-ceiling commercial office troffers and architectural recessed luminaires requiring high light levels
Industrial manufacturing areas, warehouse aisles, and high-output linear strip fixtures
Commercial retail stores, grocery aisles, and educational facility general lighting
Remote, tandem, and through-wired commercial fluorescent fixture installations

Before Ordering – Verify

High Ballast Factor (1.16 BF): This is a High Ballast Factor (HLN) unit delivering a 1.16 ballast factor for increased light output and higher system wattage (108–110W). Verify that your design requires high light output rather than normal (0.88) or low (0.78) ballast factor units.
Start Type & Wiring: Features Instant Start ignition with parallel lamp wiring. Sockets must be shunted (or non-shunted sockets jumpered together) per instant start wiring practices. For 2-lamp operation, insulate the unused blue lead individually for 600V.
Lamp Quantity: Configured to operate 3 or 2 lamps (F32T8, F32T8/ES, F28T8, F25T8, F17T8, or U-bend FBO31/FBO32).
Remote Wiring Limits: Maximum distance from ballast to lampholder is 20 feet for standard T8 lamps and 6 feet for energy-saving (ES) lamps.
Form Factor: Check wiring channel dimensions for N-Can profile: 9.50" L x 1.30" W x 1.00" H (8.90" mounting center).

Safety and Handling Guidelines

Disconnect electrical power at the main breaker panel before inspecting, wiring, or replacing the ballast.
Ensure the metal ballast enclosure is solidly grounded to the fixture housing and building ground in accordance with NEC standards.
When operating on 2 lamps, insulate the unused blue lead wire individually to 600V to avoid short circuits.
Do not exceed the maximum case temperature rating of 70°C (158°F).

Compliance

Safety Certifications: UL Listed and CSA Certified.
Energy Efficiency: NEMA Premium Electronic Ballast Program compliant, CEE Rated, and CEC Listed.
EMI/RFI Standards: Complies with FCC 47 CFR Part 18 Non-Consumer limits.
Environmental: RoHS Compliant.
