The Wacker Neuson 5100031797 is a genuine OEM 50Hz 1100W MH Ballast designed for the LTN6L and LTN6L-V series light towers, as well as the LTV6K light tower. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this ballast is built to the exact electrical specification required for 50Hz metal halide lamp operation across CE and non-CE configurations, including 115V and 230V variants. Whether your unit is a standard LTN6L, a racked configuration, or an LTN6L-V S model, part number 5100031797 is the correct factory replacement to restore full lighting output. Confirm your machine model before ordering to ensure this 50Hz ballast matches your tower's electrical system.
Key Features
- Matched Electrical Specification: — Rated at 1100W for 50Hz metal halide systems, delivering the correct ignition voltage and current regulation required to strike and sustain the MH lamp arc.
- Genuine OEM Component: — Supplied directly by Wacker Neuson, carrying the same part number and electrical tolerances as the ballast originally installed on the light tower at the factory.
- Broad LTN6L and LTN6L-V Coverage: — Fits multiple configurations across the LTN6L and LTN6L-V families, including standard, racked, CE 230V, CE 115V, custom, and LTN6L-V S variants, plus the LTV6K light tower.
- Restores Full Lamp Output: — A failed or degraded ballast causes the metal halide lamp to flicker, fail to ignite, or produce reduced light output; replacing it with the correct 5100031797 unit returns the tower to full illumination performance.
- Electrical Safety Compliance: — Using the OEM-specified ballast ensures the lamp circuit operates within its designed voltage and current limits, protecting both the lamp and the tower's wiring harness from overcurrent damage.
The ballast is the electrical control unit at the heart of a metal halide lighting system. It regulates the high voltage needed to ignite the MH lamp and then controls the sustained current that keeps it burning at the correct intensity. Without a properly functioning ballast, the lamp will not start reliably, or will burn inconsistently and at reduced brightness — directly impacting site illumination and worker safety during night operations. When the ballast fails, replacing it with the exact OEM-specified unit for your tower's voltage and frequency configuration is critical to ensure the lamp and electrical system perform as designed.
