This component is designed to regulate electrical current and voltage within lighting systems, specifically for fluorescent and compact fluorescent lamps. It ensures proper operation by controlling the start-up and runtime electrical conditions, enhancing performance while protecting connected components from power fluctuations. ### Electrical Specifications Runs on an input voltage of 230V AC. Supports a frequency range of 50–60 Hz for compatibility with standard mains electricity supplies. Designed to handle specific wattages depending on connected lamp types. ### Mechanical Details Housed in a heat-resistant casing suitable for installation in enclosed fixtures — screws or clamps required for secure mounting. Terminals accept solid or stranded wires; appropriate stripping length should be maintained to avoid faulty connections. - Suitable only for indoor use; not waterproof. - Requires specific ballast-lamp pairing per system design. - Maximum case temperature must not exceed rated limit during operation. - Incompatible with dimming controls unless specified otherwise. - Incorrect wiring can result in permanent failure of both ballast and lamp.
