The purpose of this procedure is to provide guidance for the disposal of electrical light ballasts that are removed from service during routine maintenance at various North and South campus locations.

An electronic ballast, in simplistic terms, takes a mains supply and transforms the energy to a storage capacitor, which in turn powers a half bridge to provide frequency-controlled power for a ...

A ballast for a fluorescent lamp has two primary functions: Provide high initial voltage to start the lamp; and regulate lamp current during operation. Common electronic ballasts convert 60-Hz line ...

A reliable, efficient control IC for magnetic ballasts used in fluorescent lamp, the IRS2538DS, emulates the behavior of a magnetic ballast control system. The IC leverages IR's patented ballast and ...

Make sure you change the tubelight ballasts to electronic ones. The regular ballasts blacken walls above the tubelight and wastes energy through heat. Make sure you change the tubelight ballasts to ...
