American Fluorescent / PES Electronic Rapid Start T5 Ballast

Case Size and Physical Dimensions Smaller than ANY comparable ballast

Model PES120ET5

The PES120ET5 ballast uses electronics circuits technology for efficient energy saving output voltage inversion. This ballast utilizes the latest state of the art semiconductors and capacitors with low operating stresses and high temperature ratings, assuring high reliability, superior performance and longer lamp life. This light weight, efficient operation ballast provides high lumen output, with up to 20% energy saving when compared to conventional magnetic ballasts.

PRE-HEAT Start Operation Design

The PES120ET5 ballast PRE-HEAT start operation makes it very suitable for use with the different pre-heat start lamps types (F8T5, F13T5 and F14T5). The PES120ET5 ballast unique design provides the best starting conditions, per ANSI standards for Pre-Heat Start Lamps. Power Electronics & Systems, Inc. has designed the ONLY electronics ballast with this pre-heat start features. This ballast is also available in INSTANT Start configuration.

PRE-HEAT Start Vs. INSTANT Start Operation

Conventional instant start ballast greatly reduces the lamp life (generally by 30% or more) if not started within 50 mSec. The PES120ET5 ballast, with its unique pre-heat feature, is the most suitable ballast for operating pre-heat start lamps. The ballast pre-heats the lamps electrodes and starts the lamps within a specified time, per ANSI standards at a high Rh/Rc ratio to insure adequate pre-heating conditions which in turn provides longer lamp life and maximum lumen output.

Noise Free Operation

The microelectronics system design provides a NOISE FREE and quiet ballast performance where no bulky transformers are used.

AC Line Surge Protection

AC line transient protection is provided and capable of absorbing up to 2000 Amps of surge current to protect the ballast.

Case Size & Installation

Mechanical dimensions and case size, with its light weight and slim height features makes the PES120ET5 ballast suitable for retrofitting and installation into any standard indoor light fixtures such as under counter light fixtures. The PES120ET5 ballast, which runs two T5 lamps, has the same physical size as the conventional magnetic ballast, which can only run a single lamp
