Older ballasts with an iron core are basically an autotransformer. They transform voltage to a higher voltage with a single winding. Electronic Transformers increase voltage with capacitors and diodes.

Can you use one lamp ballast for two?
No, you cannot use one lamp ballast for two lamps unless the ballast is specifically designed for multiple lamps. Each lamp typically requires a certain amount of electrical current and voltage, which a single ballast may not adequately provide for two. Using one ballast for two lamps could lead to improper operation, reduced performance, or damage to the lamps and ballast. Always check the manufacturer's specifications for proper usage.
What are the Principles of operation of automatic voltage regulator?
The principles of operation of the automatic voltage regulator is that of the excitation system. The working principle is to regulate the flow of reinforcement on the exciter.
What is the principle of operation of explosive detector?
They usually respond to airborne volatile chemicals, which are typical around explosives.
How do you rewire a magnetic ballast F96T12 fixture to work with a new electronic ballast?
The end sockets have to be rewired. The schematic for the rewire is on the ballast label.
Can you use a 400W high pressure sodium bulb in a metal halide ballast?
No, the ballast has to be matched to the lamp. 250 watt ballast, 250 watt lamp. Also be sure to match the lamp type to the proper ballast even though the wattage is the same. HPS ballast to HPS lamp, Metal halide ballast to metal halide lamp and mercury vapour lamp to mercury vapour ballast.
