Product Overview

The GE 74096 GE232MAXP347-L is a 347V instant start electronic ballast designed for 1-lamp or 2-lamp T8 fluorescent systems. With a 0.77 low ballast factor, it delivers reduced light output compared with normal-ballast-factor models, making it suitable for energy-saving applications where full lumen output is not required. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}

This ballast is intended for facilities using 347V electrical systems, which are common in certain commercial and institutional applications. It combines high efficiency, compact low-profile housing, and instant start operation for dependable retrofit or replacement use. :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}

Why Choose This Product

• 347V application fit: Built for fixtures on 347V circuits.
• Lower energy use: 0.77 ballast factor reduces output and system wattage.
• 1- or 2-lamp flexibility: Supports common 2-lamp and 1-lamp T8 layouts.
• Instant start design: Good for general commercial fluorescent applications.
• Compact housing: Fits many standard ballast channels.
• Useful replacement option: Helps match older 347V low-output ballast applications.

Technical Specifications

Applications

• Commercial 347V fluorescent lighting systems
• Institutional buildings using 347V distribution
• Energy-saving retrofit projects
• Replacement of older 347V low-ballast-factor T8 ballasts

Compatibility & Replacement

Designed for: 1-lamp or 2-lamp T8 fluorescent systems on 347V input. This is a voltage-specific ballast and should not be substituted with standard 120-277V models. :contentReference[oaicite:7]{index=7}

Important: This is a low ballast factor (0.77) model. Do not substitute it with a 0.87 or 1.18 ballast factor version unless the change in light output is acceptable. :contentReference[oaicite:8]{index=8}

Compliance & Certifications

• FCC Part 18 Non-Consumer
• RoHS Compliant
• UL Type 1 Outdoor
• UL Type CC

ADL Supply recommends confirming input voltage, ballast factor, lamp type, and fixture compatibility before ordering.
