Description / Abstract:
This standard is intended to cover high frequency ballasts which
have rated open-circuit voltages of 2000 volts or less, operate the
lamp at frequencies between 10 kHz and 500 kHz., and are intended
to operate at a supply frequency of 50 Hz or 60 Hz. This comprises
ballasts for hot-cathode fluorescent lamps, either switch-start
(preheat-start), rapid-start (continuously heated cathodes),
modified rapid start, programmed start, or instant start used
primarily for lighting purposes. The ballast and lamp combinations
covered by this specification are normally intended for use in room
ambient temperatures of 10OC to 40OC. At ambient temperatures
outside this range, certain special operating characteristics may
be required.
