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.
What else can I help you with?
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.
Principle and operation?
principle refers to the basic objective of something. Operation refers to how it operates.
Can you use pulse start lamp with a probe start ballast?
No, you cannot use a pulse start lamp with a probe start ballast. Pulse start lamps require a specific type of ballast designed to provide the necessary starting voltage and current, which differs from the operation of probe start ballasts. Using a pulse start lamp with a probe start ballast can lead to improper operation and potential damage to the lamp and ballast. Always match the lamp type with the appropriate ballast for optimal performance.
Can you connect a 240V ballast to 208V line service?
It is not recommended to connect a 240V ballast to a 208V line service as this can potentially damage the ballast and create a safety hazard. It is best to use a ballast that is specifically designed for use with a 208V line service to ensure safe and proper operation.
Can an electrical timer be used to control on and off power to self ballast lamps?
Yes, an electrical timer can be used to control the on and off operation of the power to self ballast lamps.
Can you use a 70 watt metal halide lamp in a 150 watt ballast?
No, it is not recommended to use a 70 watt metal halide lamp with a 150 watt ballast. The lamp and ballast wattage should match to ensure proper operation and to prevent damage to the lamp or ballast. It is best to use a compatible lamp and ballast with matching wattages.
Can you run a 50 watt halide bulb on a 100 watt halide ballast?
No, it is not recommended to run a 50 watt halide bulb on a 100 watt halide ballast. The ballast should match the wattage of the bulb to ensure proper operation and to avoid potential damage to the bulb and ballast. It is best to use a ballast that is rated for the wattage of the bulb being used.
Should wattage match fluorescent ballast?
Yes, it is important for the wattage of the fluorescent ballast to match the wattage of the fluorescent tube. Mismatched wattages can result in inefficient operation, reduced lifespan of the bulb, or even damage to the ballast. Always make sure to check and use the appropriate wattage for both the ballast and the tube.
How can ignition voltage of light increased with the help of a ballast?
The ignition voltage of a light, such as a fluorescent or high-intensity discharge (HID) lamp, can be increased using a ballast by providing a higher initial voltage to create an arc between the electrodes. The ballast limits the current flowing through the lamp once it is ignited, ensuring stable operation. By increasing the voltage temporarily at startup, the ballast helps overcome the higher breakdown voltage of the gas in the lamp, facilitating ignition. Once the lamp is lit, the ballast then maintains the appropriate current to ensure efficient operation.
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.
Who explained the operation of a hydraulic lift system?
Bernoulli's principle. The above answer is wrong. Its Pascal's Principle :)
Operation principle of hysteresis motor?
Give a brief idea of principle of hysteresis motor,application.
What principle is employed in the operation of an artificial kidney?
