Thomas Research HID 50-1500W Auxiliary Quartz Controller ESP-125

The Thomas Research ESP-125 is a quartz restrike controller designed to enhance the reliability and performance of High-Intensity Discharge (HID) lighting systems. This device automatically activates an auxiliary quartz lamp when the primary HID lamp is extinguished, ensuring continuous illumination in critical applications.

Key Features

• Wide Compatibility: Suitable for use with High-Pressure Sodium (HPS) or Metal Halide (MH) magnetic ballasts featuring a 120V tap or input.
• Broad Operating Range: Supports HID circuits ranging from 39 to 1500 watts and auxiliary lamps up to 500 watts.
• Intelligent Sensing: Utilizes a current-sensing circuit to monitor the HID lamp’s status, allowing compatibility with various lamp and ballast configurations.
• Non-Arcing Switches: Equipped with non-arcing switches, making it suitable for use in Class 1, Division II vapor-tight fixtures.
• Emergency Power Integration: Can be directly connected to emergency generator power, ensuring lighting continuity during power outages.
• Durable Construction: Housed in a high-temperature, flameproof plastic enclosure with a maximum surface temperature rating of 105ºC.

Specifications

• Voltage: 120V
• Frequency: 50/60 Hz
• Dimensions: 1.5” x 2.25” x 0.75”
