Wacker Neuson 5200017006 Metal Halide Current Transformer w/ Capacitor

The Wacker Neuson Metal Halide Current Transformer w/ Capacitor is a genuine OEM component designed for the LTN6, LTW6K, LTW8K, LTW20Z, and LTV series light towers. As a direct OEM replacement, this part is manufactured to the same specifications as the original, ensuring correct electrical output and proper lamp ignition across the full range of compatible machines. This transformer and capacitor assembly covers an exceptionally wide spread of LTN and LTW configurations, including Standard T4, Cold Weather, and custom Tier 4i variants, so you can order with confidence knowing the part number matches your unit. Keep a spare on hand for any fleet running Wacker Neuson light towers and avoid extended dark time on the jobsite.

Key Features

• Correct Electrical Output for Metal Halide Lamps — Engineered to deliver the precise current and voltage characteristics that metal halide bulbs require for reliable ignition and stable arc operation.
• Integrated Capacitor Assembly — The capacitor is paired and matched to the transformer in a single unit, maintaining proper power factor correction and eliminating the guesswork of sourcing components separately.
• Genuine OEM Part — Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, part 5200017006 meets the original design intent for the ballast circuit, not a generic substitute.
• Broad LTN and LTW Series Coverage — Fits a wide range of Wacker Neuson light tower families including LTN6C, LTN6L, LTN6K, LTN8K, LTW6K, LTW8K, LTW20Z-1, LTW20Z-3, and LTV6K/LTV8K across multiple configurations and tiers.
• Drop-In Replacement — Matches the original mounting and wiring configuration of the ballast enclosure, so installation follows the same procedure as the factory unit without adapting connections.
• Protects Lamp Life and Light Output — A failed or degraded transformer causes flickering, failure to strike, or premature lamp burnout; replacing with the correct OEM unit restores full rated light output and protects the lamp investment.

A metal halide current transformer — commonly called a ballast — controls the electrical current supplied to the arc tube inside a metal halide lamp. Metal halide lamps cannot run directly from line voltage; the transformer steps up the ignition voltage to strike the arc, then limits and regulates current once the lamp is running to prevent runaway and burnout. The paired capacitor corrects the power factor of the inductive ballast circuit, keeping the load on the generator clean and efficient. When the transformer degrades or the capacitor fails, symptoms include lamps that won't ignite, lamps that extinguish shortly after striking, or visible flickering — all of which render the light tower ineffective for nighttime operations. Replacing the assembly with the correct OEM unit, Wacker Neuson 5200017006, restores proper lamp drive and returns the tower to full illumination output.
