QUICKTRONIC® PowerSHED™
High Efficiency Demand Response Ballast

The PowerSHED™ High Efficiency Demand Response Ballast combines state-of-the-art, high efficiency three lamp operation with a low cost method of emergency demand response power reduction. When the PowerSHED ballast receives the power line carrier signal from the lighting panel, it immediately sheds up to 33% of its load. Using these features, energy managers can maximize the incentives available from their utility by participating in both permanent demand reduction PLUS demand response during peak periods.

Permanently Reduce Lighting Load
When the High Efficiency Instant-Start PowerSHED ballast is combined with SYLVANIA OCTRON® SUPERSAVER® 28W T8 lamps, each 3-lamp fixture immediately saves up to 14 watts.

Maximize Utility Incentives
When the PowerSHED ballast receives the power line carrier (PLC) signal from the lighting panel, it immediately sheds up to 33% of its load. Energy managers can maximize the incentives available from their utility company by participating in both permanent demand reduction and emergency demand response during peak periods.

Speed Return on Investment
The PowerSHED ballasts are based on an industry-proven, cost-effective, instant start ballast platform.  Only one PowerSHED command injector is required for each lighting panel. No labor or materials are required for additional ballast control wires and minimal labor is required to install the Command Injector. No need to replace sockets when retrofitting existing instant start ballasts.

Fast Installation, Flexible Actuation
(1) Install one PowerSHED Command Injector and one split-core Command Coupler at the input of each lighting panel.
(2) Re-ballast all two and three-lamp T8 fixtures with QUICKTRONIC PowerSHED Demand Response ballasts.
(3) Re-lamp with OCTRON® lamps.
(4) Install the preferred actuation method using a manual AC Switch or switched 120-277V driven from the building automation system or secure internet-driven connection based on local utility program.
