Universal Input Products

Philips Emergency Lighting’s universal input fluorescent emergency ballasts (FEBs) offer a number of benefits. First, they minimize inventories. Universal input emergency ballasts are suitable for 120 through 277 VAC applications, while standard emergency ballasts are suitable for 120 VAC or 277 VAC applications. The universal FEB thus covers a broader range of applications.

These FEBs also simplify wiring and reduce wiring errors by limiting the number of leads. Universal input emergency ballasts offer only one lead, a black lead. Standard products use a black lead for 120 VAC applications and an orange lead for 277 VAC applications.

Finally, universal FEBs are suitable for use with harsh line conditions. The technology used in Philips Bodine universal input emergency ballasts allows the emergency ballast to operate well in spite of unfavorable line conditions such as high harmonic distortion, line fluctuation and noise.
