1000 Watt Metal Halide Pulse Start Capacitor 24UF 480 Volt (Metal Round)

Aerovox Z74S4824M01A 24UF 480 Volt oil filled HID lighting capacitor commonly used for 1000 watt metal halide including Pulse Start ballast fixtures. Works with M47 and M141 bulbs and constant wattage autotransformer circuit type ballast. Made in the USA. The case is 2" Round and 3.8" tall. No pcb's, rated for 100c,Max +-3%. There is a .92 internal resistor that disipates charges to less than 50 volts in 60 seconds when deenergized. This unit has a protective interruptor device to open the circuit at failure or the end of life. (if you see the top bubbled and the capacitor is dead this is what happened). Capacitors do deteriorate. Stop replacing ballast kits if the transformer is good. The average life of a capacitor is 60,000 hours. They can become weak, this is easy to check.
