Field Controls 46365509 Ballast Assembly

The Field Controls 46365509 Ballast Assembly is a direct OEM replacement component engineered specifically for the Field Controls UV-18 germicidal air treatment system. This UV-18 replacement ballast ensures the correct electrical load is delivered to the 18-inch UV lamp, maintaining the necessary milliwatt output for effective microbial neutralization. When a UV light ballast fails, it often manifests as flickering or a premature drop in UVC intensity; swapping in this factory-certified 120V assembly restores the unit to its original HVAC UV sterilization performance parameters. Designed for high-duty cycle operation within air handlers, the 46365509 features heavy-duty lead wires and a plug-and-play connector interface to minimize field time during IAQ equipment maintenance. HVAC contractors should verify input voltage and ensure the existing lamp pins are free of oxidation before installing this UV-C ballast replacement to ensure optimal strikes and sustained arc stability throughout the service life of the bulb.

• Direct OEM Compatibility: Specifically calibrated for the Field Controls UV-18, eliminating the risks associated with generic universal ballasts.
• Consistent UVC Output: Maintains steady current to the lamp, ensuring the germicidal wavelength remains effective against airborne pathogens.
• Simplified Integration: Pre-wired configuration with standard mounting points allows for rapid replacement during routine service calls.
• Industrial-Grade Construction: Built to withstand the thermal fluctuations and vibration common in residential and commercial plenum environments.

Is this ballast compatible with the UV-12 or UV-24 models?
No, this specific assembly is engineered for the electrical requirements of the 18-inch lamp found in the UV-18 series. Using this on larger or smaller lamps can result in immediate lamp failure or ballast burnout.

Does this assembly include the replacement lamp?
This is the power supply assembly only. If your system is failing to strike, it is professional practice to test the lamp and inspect the socket for signs of arcing before concluding the ballast is the sole point of failure.

Can this ballast be wired for 240V applications?
The 46365509 is designed for 120V/60Hz input. Always verify your line voltage at the junction box before completing the installation to prevent board damage.
