Philips BSN 70K302 perinteinen magneettinen liitäntälaite 70W HID-lampuille, 230V 50Hz 74082800

The Philips BSN 70K302 is a conventional magnetic ballast engineered for 70-watt high-intensity discharge lamps. Unlike electronic ballasts that integrate control circuitry, this unit uses a simple, robust coil-core design that delivers dependable lamp operation in fixed installations. Its polyester resin housing provides electrical insulation and mechanical stability, making it a practical choice for industrial and outdoor luminaires where reliability under continuous operation is essential.

Highlights

• Conventional magnetic ballast for 70 W HID lamps
• 230 V, 50 Hz supply compatibility
• Polyester resin housing for durability
• Requires external ignitor and capacitor (not included)
• Maximum case temperature up to 130 °C
• Ambient temperature range from -20 °C to +50 °C

In daily use

The ballast operates with an external ignitor, such as the Philips SN 57, to start the lamp and an external capacitor for power factor correction. With a 10 µF capacitor, the power factor exceeds 0.85 and current draw is 0.45 A. Without a capacitor, the power factor drops to approximately 0.45, increasing line current and reducing efficiency. Power losses are 8.0 W under nominal conditions. Screw terminals provide secure electrical connections.
