The B50CT emergency ballast works in conjunction with an AC ballast to convert new or existing fluorescent or TLED fixtures into emergency lighting. The emergency ballast handles a wide range of input voltages and frequencies and consists of a high-temperature nickel-cadmium battery, charger and electronic circuitry in one compact metal case. B50CT operates one lamp in emergency mode. It is compatible with most single- and multi-lamp electronic and dimming AC ballasts. If used in an emergency-only fixture, no AC ballast is necessary.
The B50CT is suitable for indoor and damp locations and for sealed & gasketed fixtures, including fixtures rated for wet locations. It is not suitable for air handling heated air outlets or wet or hazardous locations. For information about specific lamp and ballast compatibility, please call the factory. Recommended applications include: international line voltages from 120 through 277 VAC (50 or 60 Hz); drilling rigs where generators are the primary source of power; and other applications requiring higher tolerance of line voltage variation or harmonic distortion.
