Powerplant Heavy Duty Timer

Normal household timers are not built to take the high inductive loads produced by HID ballasts. If used with an HID ballast - the contacts inside the timer that open and close the timed circuit will overheat and weld together - breaking the timer and leaving your grow lights permanently on. The PowerPlant Heavy Duty Timer is different. It is designed to take high loads and has no problem dealing with the inductive loads produced by a 600w ballast. This means no separate contactor is required and saves you money. It has a 96 switching operations within a 24 hour period (every 15 minues). This timer is suitable for timing one 600w HID ballast. It has a robust case design with socket and timer dust/moisture covers.

Note: This unit is ideal for timing 400w and 600w ballasts. Do not use more than one 600w ballast per timer.

Frequently asked questions

Can the Powerplant Heavy Duty Timer run a 600W ballast?

Yes. It is designed for the inductive load of a 600W ballast, so no separate contactor is needed. It is ideal for 400W and 600W ballasts, but do not use more than one 600W ballast per timer.

How is the Powerplant Heavy Duty Timer set?

It has 96 switching operations in a 24 hour period, one every 15 minutes. The case has dust and moisture covers on the socket and timer.

Why not use a normal household timer for grow lights?

Household timers are not built for HID ballast loads, so their contacts can overheat and weld together, leaving your lights on permanently. The Powerplant timer is built to take these loads.
