The Multiquip 29798 Ballast and Capacitor 230V 50 Hz is a genuine OEM component designed for Multiquip light tower models including LT12D50B, LT12D50SA, LT12D, LT12DAB, and LT6K550HZ. This is a direct OEM replacement sourced from Multiquip, ensuring the electrical characteristics of your light tower's lamp circuit are maintained exactly as designed. Verify your model code before ordering to confirm fitment with your specific unit.
Key Features
- Matched Electrical Specification: — Rated at 230V 50 Hz to match the exact voltage and frequency requirements of compatible Multiquip light tower lamp circuits — not a universal substitute.
- Genuine OEM Component: — Sourced directly from Multiquip, this part meets the same electrical tolerances and capacitance ratings as the original installed unit.
- Drop-In Replacement: — Engineered to connect directly to the existing lamp housing wiring harness on compatible models without modification to mounting or wiring.
- Broad Light Tower Fitment: — Confirmed fit for LT12D50B, LT12D50SA, LT12D, LT12DAB, and LT6K550HZ Multiquip towable light tower models.
- Restores Full Lamp Output: — A failed ballast or capacitor causes lamps to flicker, fail to strike, or run at reduced brightness; replacing this assembly restores full lighting performance on the job.
The ballast in a metal halide or HID light tower regulates the electrical current flowing to the lamp, providing the high-voltage spike needed to strike the arc and then stabilizing current during operation. The capacitor works alongside the ballast to correct the power factor and support consistent lamp ignition. When either component fails, the lamp will typically refuse to start, flicker repeatedly, or shut off prematurely — leaving the light tower unable to illuminate the work area. Replacing the ballast and capacitor assembly as a matched unit restores proper ignition and steady lamp operation.
