Technical Specifications

Product Overview

The GE 62044 GE432MVPS-N-V03W is a 0-10V dimming electronic ballast for 3-4 lamp T8 fluorescent commercial lighting systems requiring analog low-voltage dimming control. At full output the ballast dims to as low as 3% of rated light output via a connected 0-10V controller (Class 1 or Class 2 circuit, 10V 0.5mA). Cathode cutout technology actively controls cathode power in the 100–80% dimming range to maximize energy savings at near-full light levels.

Programmed rapid start preheats cathodes before ignition, maximizing lamp life in the high-switching and variable duty cycles typical of dimming installations. Parallel lamp circuit keeps remaining lamps operating if one fails. Universal voltage (120–277V) covers both standard North American commercial circuit voltages from a single SKU. NEMA LL-9 compliance ensures full GE programmed start life and warranty ratings are maintained.

Important control wiring note: Gray and Violet wires connect to the 0-10V controller. Control wires open circuit = full power (100%); control wires closed circuit = full dim (3%). For 3-lamp operation, individually insulate the unused blue leads to 600V minimum.

Compatible Lamps

• (3–4) F32T8 / F32T8/WM — standard and energy-saving 48" T8
• (3–4) F28T8 — 28W T8
• (3–4) F25T8 / F25T8/WM — 36" T8
• (3–4) F17T8 / F17T8/WM — 24" T8

Compatible Applications

• 0-10V dimming commercial lighting systems — Daylight harvesting, occupancy-based dimming, and automated lighting control in offices, schools, healthcare, and retail.
• Dimming retrofit projects — Universal voltage replaces single-voltage dimming ballasts across mixed 120V and 277V commercial circuits.
• High-temperature fixture installations — UL 55C ambient rating and Type HL listing for elevated-temperature applications.

Before Ordering — Verify

• Dimming Protocol: This ballast requires a 0-10V analog dimming controller — not compatible with DALI, phase-cut, or other dimming protocols.
• Lamp Count: Confirm fixture requires 3 or 4 lamps. For 3-lamp operation, individually insulate unused blue leads to 600V.
• Lamp Type: Confirm lamps are on the compatible list above.
• Input Voltage: Confirm circuit is within 120–277V ±10%.
• Minimum Starting Temperature: This ballast requires a minimum ambient of 60°F (15.6°C) — not rated for unheated outdoor or cold-storage applications.
• Physical Fit: Confirm 9.5" x 1.7" x 1.2" fits within your fixture's ballast cavity.

Compliance

• UL Class P, UL Type CC, UL Type 1 Outdoor, UL Type HL, UL 55C.
• NEMA LL-9, ANSI C82.11 Annex A, ANSI C62.41-1991.
• FCC Part 18 Class A. RoHS. No PCB.
