The inmates in your penal colony have been talking about a prison break for some time and it has you worried. The prison's emergency generator hasn't been used since 1970, so if the prisoners overload the AC circuit, all of D-Block will be plunged into darkness. Protect your prison staff and guards with the 3 Bulb T8 fluorescent emergency ballast.
The GEN3 supplements only instant start AC fluorescent ballasts wired for parallel lamp operation. Use this device as an intermediary between your 4-foot linear or U-bent T8 fluorescent lights and the connected DC emergency circuit. This interim lighting ballast keeps the lamps operating at full illumination for up to 2 minutes while the old generator kicks in.

Application
The GEN30 is specification grade, so it will deliver an astounding 4700-7900 lumens of emergency pathway lighting, depending on the lamps. It generally takes between 30-seconds to a minute for most gas-powered generators to warm up, so this emergency ballast will keep your T8s or CFLs lighted in the meantime.
