Favorite magnetic HID ballast topology? « on: May 12, 2024, 10:01:20 PM » Author: WorldwideHIDCollectorUSA
Personally, my favorite magnetic HID ballast topology is the HX autotransformer ballast because such ballasts allow for a very wide range of lamps to operate properly.

What magnetic HID ballast topology is everyone else’s favorites?

CWA, CWI, series choke, HX autotransformer, 2 lamp lead-lag, mag-reg, etc?

My favorite is HX for their reliability. No cap to fail.

Second would be mag reg. Love how beefy they are, and how they run lamps.

Same. Mag reg ballasts fascinate me, but HX ballasts are the best for reliability.
