摘要
The starting voltage characteristics of the 40-W biaxial fluorescent lamps were taken over an ambient temperature range of 0–90°F using various starting aid distances and conditions. Results show excellent starting values with these lamps when used with the 60-Hz electromagnetic ballasts designed specifically for these lamps. Further analysis of the results shows that the limiting factor in the starting scenario depends upon the ambient temperature and/or the starting aid distance. The data base would be an excellent starting place for developing a generalized starting voltage equation which encompasses the variables tested. Similar work is being performed using electronic high-frequency ballasts and results will be presented when that work segment is completed. © 1990 IEEE
