Fluorescent lamps

OperationA fluorescent lamp is a type of low pressure mercury discharge lamp. A discharge arc operates in a glass tube internally coated with a phosphor powder. The electrical discharge produces mostly ultraviolet and some blue and green light. The phosphor coatingconverts the ultraviolet energy produced by the dis-charge into light. Cathodes, coated with an electron emitting material are sealed into each end of the glass envelope and connected to the pins of the lamp caps.The lamp contains gases such as argon and krypton with a drop of liquid mercury.

A control circuit is required which first causesan electric current to flow through each cathode.When the cathode filaments are heated, the emitter coating emits a cloud of electrons, which arenegatively charged. The electrons are acceleratedby a voltage applied across the lamp, producingionisation. The current flow through the lamp is then limited by the external control circuit.

The inert gas used in traditional fluorescent lamps is argon, krypton or a mixture of both. The improvement in efficacy achieved using krypton offers a powersaving approaching 8 % which translates directly into lower energy costs.

FlickerFluorescent lamps typically exhibit very little flicker( flicker factor 0.5 % or less ). However, stroboscopic effects from rotating parts or parts with reciprocalmotion can cause problems. These can be reducedby connecting lamps to different phases or by the use of lead-lag circuits or electronic ( high frequency )ballasts.

Electrical measurementsAll electrical measurements on lamp or circuit voltage, current and wattage have to be made with instruments of the true RMS type allowing for crest factors of upto 2.5.

Magnetic ballasts for fluorescent lampsProduct information

De-activation of excited mercury atoms produce UV photon and is convertedto visible light by the internal phosphor coating of the fluorescent lamp.

Operating performanceThe performance of a fluorescent lamp is dependent upon not only the control circuit, but also on the ambient temperature. This influences the gas pressure in the lamp which in turn determines the yield of UV radiation.The optimum light output occurs when the lamp walltemperature is approximately 40 C ( for T8 / T12 lamps )at the cold spot ( fig.1 ).

This highlights the problems encountered in brightness control of fluorescent lamps if widely varying ambient temperatures prevail. It also shows that high opencircuit voltages are required to reliably start the lampin low temperature conditions ( fig. 2 ).

The more reliable starting, however, of control gear with high open circuit voltages is negated by the increased probability of cold starts occurring. Cold start is striking the arc before the cathodes are fully heated. It hasa detrimental effect on lamp life and, coupled withfrequent switching, can reduce lamp life to one quarteror less. Cold starts are more likely to occur with lamps of low operating voltage, such as 18 W 600 mm lampwith only 57 V across the lamp. The life of a fluorescent lamp is dependent to a certain degree on the frequency of switching on and off. A lamp which is switchedinfrequently will last considerably longer ( fig. 3 ).

The effect of mains voltage variations on the operating characteristics of fluorescent lamps is indicated inthe graph ( fig. 4 ). Increases in the mains voltage caninfluence lamp life in proportion to the increases in the lamp current.

A ballast is required to run a fluorescent lamp. This isa current limiting device which works on the self induc-tance principle. The impedance of the ballast is set to match the arc voltage of the lamp which ensures that the correct current is supplied. In some cases a ballast can be used for more than one lamp but the lampshould never be used with any other ballast than theone specifically designed for the job. Also any supply voltage or frequency variation will affect the optimumperformance of the ballast, and hence the lamp, sothe type with the correct values should always be used.

Optimum performanceThis is achieved by maintaining careful controlof the main parameters.

Preheat currentThis is supplied to the cathodes prior to the striking voltage. Without the correct preheat current, thecathodes would be progressively damaged resultingin short lamp life.

Strike voltageIn the case of a glow starter, this is produced by the ballast when the starter switch opens. The required voltage increases at high and low temperatures, and electronic starters may be required in abnormaltemperature conditions.

For a fluorescent lamp to operate constantly thesupply voltage must be at least twice the lamp voltage. If it is less, then an auto transformer is required to step up the voltage.

Lamp currentThe tight tolerances used in manufacture ensure that the impedance is the correct value for the correct lamp current and hence lamp wattage and luminous flux.

Minimum power lossesAn inefficient ballast means high losses, which in turn leads to high temperatures. This means the lamp runs out of its optimum temperature range and, in some cases, other components in the luminaire, such ascapacitors, will also run too hot and fail prematurely.

Tridonic have designed ballasts with minimal losses through the optimum use of windings within thebobbin. They have compact dimensions and usethe highest quality materials in their manufacture.

The losses ( lamp and ballast ) are rated in accordance with the ballast-lamp circuit ( EEI ) classification.

Selection of the right ballastTridonic offers ballasts in the following energy classes: standard ( EEI = C ) low loss ( EEI = B2 ) low loss ( EEI = B1 )

Each version has the same impedance and providesthe same lamp current. The difference is that the losses, and temperature rise, are progressively less, which can be seen from the data.

There are two reasons to select lower loss ballasts:

Energy consumptionA low loss B2 ballast typically consumes 30 % lesspower than a standard C ballast, and a low loss B1 ballast uses 67 % less power than a standard Cballast.

Temperature riseA typical standard C ballast will increase in tempera-ture by 55 K ( Kelvin ) above its surroundings, a low loss B2 ballast 35 - 40 K and a low loss B1 ballast 25 K.

When considering dimensions, Tridonic ballastshave optimised dimensions to minimise losses butlower loss ballasts do have increased dimensions.

As the measured power consumption dependsstrongly on the method of measurement, differences up to 10 K are possible in the results.

Long service lifeThe choice of insulating materials and their opera-ting temperatures determine the ballast life. Tridonicballasts use class H insulation materials whichare designed for temperatures up to 180 C, thusensuring maximum service life.

The permitted maximum working temperature ofthe winding is designated tw. The adherence to thistemperature guarantees an average life of 10 years continuous usage. If the temperature in applicationis lower, then the life is correspondingly higher.

The designation t is the temperature rise in degrees Celsius operating under prescribed conditions at rated voltage and is a function of ballast power losses. The difference between the tw rating and t is an indi-cation of the ambient temperature in which the ballast can operate. This is a very important consideration.

The graph shows the theoretical service life of a ballast against winding temperature. Every 10 C over themaximum winding temperature of 130 C ( tw130 )halves ballast life. The winding temperature is theambient temperature plus t or temperature risewhich is a function of ballast power consumption( watts loss ).


The high quality and reliability of insulated conductors is dependent not only on the production process,but also on the choice of raw materials. Many yearsof experience, both as a user and manufacturerof enamelled winding wire has given Tridonic theknowledge and expertise to select the best rawmaterials from internationally approved suppliers.

The copper is made from a high conductivity hotrolled copper rod and complies with the chemicalcomposition limits and resistivity requirements ofInternational Registered Alloy Designation 110.

Critical attention is paid to the enamel as the material utilised to insulate the conductor. Choice of enamelis a key factor and is linked both to the enamellingsystem as well as the electrical, mechanical andtechnical characteristics of the finished product.

The insulation enamels sourced by ATCO Industrialare supplied by internationally approved manufacturers specialising within this field. For all Tridonic ballasts insulation Class H+ ( 200 C ) is used.

Minimum stray fieldsTridonic ballasts are designed to keep stray fieldsat a minimum, thus enabling them to be used near sensitive equipment.

Consistent high qualityCertified to ISO 9001, the production process and equipment guarantee a consistent high qualitystandard. All finished goods are 100 % end of linetested and only the highest quality raw materialsare used. Consistent high quality is ensured bythe use of fully automatic production.

Special features of Tridonic ballasts: very short magnetic paths transverse lamination design with no stray field junctions compact windings low power consumption short heat paths maximum winding temperature tw = 130 C class H insulation fully automatic production with continuous tolerance test varnish impregnation 100 % final testing, including continuity, high voltage, winding short-circuit and operating values long service life

Switch start circuitThe most widely used circuit. It is simple, economi-cal and one of the most efficient ways of operatinga fluorescent lamp. The starter can be of the glow switch type or electronic. By far the most commonis the glow starter. When the starter contacts open,the ballast supplies the starting voltage.

Advantages: simple wiring low temperature operation ( to -10 C ) economical

Disadvantages: flicker on start-up short delay in striking more than 1 wear part ( lamp and starter )

The operating sequence is as follows:1. When power is switched on, mains voltage appears across the contacts in the starter bottle, striking an arc between them.

2. The heat of the arc causes the bi-metal contact to bend and make contact with the other contact thereby extinguishing the arc and removing the heat source. The ballast and the lamp cathodes are now connected in series across the supply and the relatively heavypre-heat current flows, heating the lamp cathodes.

3. The starter contact cools down and re-opens.The sudden interruption of the pre-heat current causes a voltage spike to develop which ignites the lamp. Lamp voltage of less than half supply voltage is now insufficient to re-strike the arc in the starter bottle and the lamp remains alight.

Switch start circuits provide reliable starting in ambient temperatures -10 to +50 C.

FS2 type starters are used in single and twin lampcircuits up to and including 20 W.

FSU type starters are used in single lamp circuitsto 80 W. Note that 85 and 125 W lamps require very special starters.

Electronic starters are far more complex. They provide rapid start precision operation of the lamp.

Twin series circuitA circuit used for most lamps up to 20 W. Twofluorescent lamps are run in series on one ballastbut with individual starters operating per lamp.
