ouch! Shocked what happened to the igniter?

The ignitor is hanging off the table edge I believe, the ignitor didn't look toasty

ahh that makes sense i wonder what happened to this. Maybe the cap went? i don't know if a bad cap could be this damaging though.
A_lights   [Dec 20, 2013 at 02:38 AM]
Well these HX ballasts can be run without the cap so I don't think it would affect it
The CWA ballasts probably could fry because of a bad cap, but usually they loose farads and lamp is dim/ intermittently striking up, it happens a lot with shoeboxes unfortunately

HX ballasts don't need the capacitor? Even the HPF ones?

I believe the single tap HPF ones don't need a cap but I'm not sure about the multitap ones as I tried running it without cap and it was acting up so I stuck a replacement cap in.

Acting up how?
Yikes, I bet the smell would be unforgettable to be around when one of those burned up! Shocked

IIRC, it was noiser and the lamp flickered.

hmm strange. Joe MAurath thinks that the OV-15 TuDor that I'm buying from him has a bad capacitor. Afterall, it's HPS so it must have been removed because something went wrong with it. If it was a merc it would have been removed for an upgrade but he thinks the cap is bad because it won't start. It could be the igniter though. It's a (BIG) 50W HPS choke ballast with a capacitor. I haven't seen it in person but he sent me pics a while back and I guess I never uploaded them... I'll do that now...
