Brand: Halco · SKU: CAP/MH1000 · UPC: 807154558698 · Category: Lamps & ballasts · Type: Ignitors & Capacitors
The Halco CAP/MH1000 is a 24 microfarad, 480 volt oil-filled capacitor built for use in metal halide lighting circuits, as indicated by its MH product designation and its placement in Halco's Ignitors and Capacitors subcategory. Electricians and lighting maintenance contractors use a capacitor like this as a replacement part in high-intensity discharge fixture ballasts, where it corrects power factor and helps the ballast strike and sustain the arc in the lamp. This capacitor is rated at 480 volts, which matches the higher-voltage branch circuits found in many commercial and industrial buildings, and its oil-filled construction is a common design for capacitors used in HID and metal halide ballast circuits because it holds up to the heat generated inside a ballast enclosure. Halco lists this as a unit-level replacement part rather than a complete fixture or ballast, so it is intended for technicians servicing existing metal halide fixtures who need to swap a failed capacitor for one matching the original electrical rating, rather than for new fixture installation.
It is a 24 MFD capacitor.
It is rated 480V.
It is used in metal halide (MH) ballast circuits.
