F32T8
Hi,
WH5 or Workhorse 5. This is one of the ballasts that Fulham sells that can drive many different types of lights - from 4 T8s, 2 T12s to 2 55W PCs. In some ways, this is similar to what a 4xF32T8 ballast does.
The main difference between the two is that the F32T8 ballast is designed to drive 4 T8 tubes. The manufacturer does not guarantee that it will work for any other configuration (like overdrive and PCs). Workhorse, on the other hand, is guaranteed to work with T8s, T12s and PCs and it has a 5 year waranty to back it up.
Can it be used for Overdrive (OD) ? Yes it can. For the WH5 case, you can treat it just like a 4xF32T8 ballast. Other ballasts to consider is WH6 and WH7. WH6 has more starting power, so it can start two bulbs in series (instead of one). WH7 is similar to two WH5 in one case.
Hope that helps.
- Victor.
