Tubelight starter circuit diagram. As no starter is used in the case of electronic ballast application the wiring diagram is slightly different. The fluorescent tube has two filaments with four terminals the starter is connected between two filaments the ballast is connected between main ac supply and one filament in tube light. Working principle of tube light. A glow starter or commonly known as starter is used in the tube light circuit to provide an initial current to filaments of the tube light. Without the starter a steady stream of electrons is never created between the two filaments and the lamp flickers. Without the ballast the arc is a short circuit between the filaments and this short circuit contains a lot of current.
At that full voltage first the glow discharge is established in the starter. When the switch is on full voltage will come across the tube light through ballast and fluorescent lamp starter. The first is the minimal power factor circuit along with the other works with a novel diodecapacitor settings to accomplish a power factor 095. No lumen output from the lamp. Glow starter also known as the starter is a sealed. The lower power factor circuit proven in figure 3 welcomes 115 vac or 230 vac 5060400 hz inputs to generate a moderate dc bus of 320 vdc.
Tube light wiring diagram. How to install a single tubelight with electromagnetic ballast. Double tube light circuit diagram tube light circuit. When we connect the ac supply voltage to the circuit then the starter act like short circuited and current flow through those filament located at the first and second end of the tube light and the filament generate heat and it ionized the gas mercury vapor in the fluorescent tube lamp. The current either vaporizes the filaments or causes the bulb to explode. The starter is like a key of fluorescent light because it is used to light up the tube.
Electronic ballast has six ports two ports out of six ports are for the input and the remaining four ports are for output ports. I explain how starter of tube light works use of glow starter with connection circuit diagram voltage and current waveforms in this video. According to sams f lamp faq. Twin 40 watt ballast circuit diagram. Electronics articles 8 aug 14 a choke is connected in one end of the tube light and a starter is in series with the circuit. We need tube light ballast starter and fluorescent light holders to make wiring connection.
