Product Overview
The GE 74094 GE332MAXP347-N is a 347V instant start electronic ballast designed for 2-lamp or 3-lamp T8 fluorescent systems. With a 0.87 normal ballast factor, it delivers standard light output and is intended for commercial and institutional fixtures operating on 347V power. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}
This ballast belongs to the UltraMax® Professional Series and is commonly identified as 3 or 2 – F32T8 347V “N” .87 BF. It is a voltage-specific ballast and should not be substituted with 120-277V models or low-ballast-factor 0.77 versions unless the application is reviewed carefully. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}
