Product Overview
The GE 74097 GE332MAXP347-L is a 347V instant start electronic ballast designed for 2-lamp or 3-lamp T8 fluorescent systems. With a 0.77 low ballast factor, it delivers reduced light output compared with normal-output models, making it a strong fit for energy-saving applications where full light output is not required. :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}
This ballast is built for 347V commercial and institutional electrical systems and is commonly used where lower system wattage is preferred. It is a voltage-specific ballast and should not be substituted with standard 120-277V models. :contentReference[oaicite:7]{index=7}
Why Choose This Product
- Lower energy use: 0.77 ballast factor reduces output and system wattage.
- 347V compatibility: Built for 347V commercial systems.
- 2- or 3-lamp flexibility: Supports common 347V T8 ballast layouts.
- Instant start operation: Good for general fluorescent lighting applications.
- Compact housing: Low-profile design fits many standard fixtures.
- Useful replacement option: Helps match older 347V low-output ballast applications.
