Product Overview
The GE 75385 GE432-MVPS-H-V03 is a high ballast factor 0-10V dimming electronic ballast for 3-4 lamp T8 fluorescent commercial lighting systems requiring both maximum light output and dimming capability. The 1.18 high ballast factor delivers approximately 15–20% more light than a standard 0.88 BF ballast at full output — combining high-output performance with the full 100% to 3% dimming range for daylight harvesting and automated lighting control applications.
This is the high-output dimming counterpart to the GE 62044 (normal BF 0.88 dimming) — specify this model where maximum footcandles are required alongside 0-10V dimming control. Universal voltage operation (120–277V) covers all standard North American commercial circuits. Parallel lamp circuit keeps remaining lamps operating if one fails. Auto-restart and thermal protection reduce maintenance intervention in demanding commercial environments. Remote mounting up to 5 feet from the lamp (18 AWG wire) for architectural applications.
Compatible Lamps
- (3–4) F32T8 — standard 48" T8
- (3–4) F32T8/WM — energy-saving 48" T8
- (3–4) F28T8 — 28W T8
- (3–4) F25T8 — 36" T8
- (3–4) F17T8 — 24" T8
Compatible Applications
- High-output 0-10V dimming commercial lighting — Warehouses, retail, gyms, and commercial facilities requiring maximum lumen output alongside daylight harvesting or automated dimming control.
- High-temperature fixture installations — UL 55C ambient rating and Type HL listing for elevated-temperature applications.
- Universal voltage commercial systems — Single SKU covers both 120V and 277V commercial circuits.
Before Ordering — Verify
- Dimming Protocol: This ballast requires a 0-10V analog dimming controller — not compatible with DALI, phase-cut, or switching-based bi-level controls.
- Ballast Factor: This is a 1.18 high output ballast — lamps will operate above rated lumens and system wattage will be higher than a normal BF ballast. For normal output (0.88 BF), see GE 62044.
- Lamp Count: Confirm fixture requires 3 or 4 lamps.
- Lamp Type: Confirm lamps are on the compatible list above.
- Input Voltage: Confirm circuit is within 120–277V ±10%.
- Physical Fit: Confirm 11.75" x 1.7" x 1.18" fits within your fixture's ballast cavity.
Compliance
- UL Listed / cUL Listed Class P, UL Type CC, UL Type 1 Outdoor, UL Type HL, UL 55C High Temp.
- NEMA Premium, ANSI C62.41, FCC Class A Non-Consumer. RoHS compliant.
- 5-year warranty at ≤70°C max case temp / 3-year warranty at ≤90°C max case temp.
