Terminals Soldered and


crimped to prevent
lead pullout.

Thermal Protection - ADVAN-guard


automatic reclosing protective device
affords Class P thermal protection.
Capacitor - Self-healing, dry film
construction has no liquid dielectric.

Electronic Switching Mechanism Positive, patented switching circuit


maximizes power savings.
ELECTRONIC
FLUORESCENT

End Clips - Provide firm


containment of laminations
to minimize vibration.

Core & Coil Assembly - Job-matched,


high-grade steel laminations and annealed
copper coils assure optimum operation to
lamp manufacturers specifications.
Ribbon Connector Prevents shorting of
connecting wires.

Minimum Payback Time


Moderate initial cost coupled with excellent energy savings guarantees faster payback with the PowrKut line. Choose from normal
light output or reduced light output, low frequency electronic models
to power the popular T8, T10 and T12 standard and energy-saving
rapid start lamps.
Only Advance offers you such a wide choice of low frequency
electronic ballasts to match your exact replacement, retrofit, renovation or new construction needs. And for even faster payback,
PowrKut ballasts are eligible for utility rebates where listed.
Advance PowrKut ballasts are UL listed, Class P, sound rated A
and do not contain PCBs.
High Power Factor
All ballasts are physically interchangeable with magnetic counterparts used in the same application.
Wiring is identical to that of most existing lighting systems;
wiring diagrams are included on each ballast label for reference.
Meet efficacy standards of Public Law No. 100-37, National
Appliance Energy Conservation Amendments of 1988, where
applicable.

Greater Application Flexibility


When it comes to flexibility in application, the PowrKut gives you
plenty of room to meet each jobs specifications. It is adaptable,
resilient and friendly to surrounding electronic equipment.

PowrKut operation of fluorescent lamps at a frequency of 60Hz


will not interfere with high frequency sensitivities of some electronic equipment. Low frequency operation will not interfere with powerline carrier systems, infrared control systems, radio or television
reception or portable phone transmission.
The PowrKut also offers excellent protection against transients
and voltage surges. All ballast electronic components is in the ballast secondary, protected by the magnetic primary.
PowrKut low frequency electronic ballasts are also extremely versatile in terms of installation, especially where remote, or tandem,
mounting is required. There are no maximum-distance-to-lamp
restrictions. With the PowrKut, mounting distance is limited only by
the size of the wire.
Maximum flexibility. Minimum payback time. Two essentials that
make PowrKut your optimum choice.

The POWRKUT Secret

One Very Bright Idea


For maximum energy and cost savings, PowrKut models use
a unique electronic switching mechanism that cuts off power
to the lamp electrodes after the lamps are started.

HIGH FREQUENCY ELECTRONIC BALLASTS


Introduction

Instant-Start (contd)

High efficiency, high frequency electronic ballasts offer enhanced


lighting performance and energy savings. The Electric Power
Research Institute estimates that lighting consumes 20-25% of all
electric power and that lighting energy accounts for 40% of the average commercial electric bill. The retrofit of existing facilities with
modern lighting systems increases productivity and can save over
one-half the energy of the original system.
This potential for savings has prompted the EPA (Environmental
Protection Agency) to create the Green Lights program. U.S.
Corporations, in this voluntary program, retrofit their lighting systems
with energy efficient lamps and ballasts whenever economically feasible. The economics of lighting retrofits have never been better.
Investment payback is often accelerated by Demand Side
Management programs from electric utilities that offer incentives in
the form of rebates for energy efficient measures.

Instant-start electronic ballasts provide a high initial voltage (typically 600V for F32T8 lamps) to start the lamp. This high voltage is
required to initiate discharge between the unheated electrodes of the
lamp. However, the cold electrodes of lamps operated by an instantstart ballast may deteriorate more quickly than the warmed electrodes of lamps operated by a rapid start, program rapid-start or programmed-start ballast. Lamps operated by instant start ballasts will
typically withstand 10-15K switch cycles. Instant-start ballasts are
typically wired in parallel. This means that if one lamp fails, the other
lamps in the circuit will remain lit.

Ballast Basics
Modern electronic ballasts operate at a frequency above 20,000
Hz. This high frequency operates lamps more efficiently (10-15%
more light output) and eliminates the 60 cycle hum and visible flicker normally associated with electromagnetic ballasts. Modern solidstate circuitry makes the electronic ballast practical, reliable and
cooler running.

Rapid-Start
Rapid-start ballasts have a separate set of windings which provide
a low voltage (approx. 3.5 volts) to the electrodes for one second prior
to lamp ignition. A starting voltage somewhat lower than that of instant
ballast (typically 450-550V for F32T8 lamps) is applied, striking an
electrical arc inside the lamp. Most rapid-start electronic ballasts continue to heat the electrode even after the lamp has started, which
results in a power loss of 1.5 to 2 watts per lamp. Lamps operated by
a rapid-start electronic ballast will typically withstand15-20K switch
cycles. Rapid-start ballasts are typically wired in series. This means
that is one lamp fails, all other lamps in the circuit will extinguish.

Program Rapid-Start

LAMP/BALLAST COMPATIBILITY
Standards and Regulations
Typical lamp specifications include starting voltage, operating current, cathode voltage, crest factor, etc. Electronic ballasts from
Advance Transformer are designed to meet the lamp manufacturers
specifications and the requirements of:
ANSI/IEEE C62.41 (American National Standards Institute)
FCC Part 18 (RFI and EMI)
UL (Underwriter Laboratories)
Public Law No. 100-357 (minimum efficiency standards)
NAECA (National Appliance Energy Conservation Amendments)
CSA (Canadian Standards Association) where applicable
The National Electrical Code and all Municipal Electrical Codes.
No fluorescent lighting system will meet expectations unless the
lamp and ballasts are properly matched. Proper (electronic
ballast/fluorescent lamp/fixture) combinations result in applications
with the correct light levels for the task at hand, lamps that provide
rated lamp life, and a safe and aesthetically pleasing installation.
Advance electronic ballasts are tested by independent laboratories
to ensure compatibility with lamps from all major manufacturers.

Instant-Start
Instant-start electronic ballasts are the most popular type of electronic ballast today because they provide maximum energy savings
and they start lamps without delay or flashing. Since they do not provide lamp electrode heating, instant-start ballasts consume less energy than comparable rapid-start, program rapid-start or programmedstart ballasts. As a result, they provide the most energy efficient solution to fluorescent lamp ballasting. The instant-start ballast uses 1.5
to 2 watts less energy per lamp than the rapid-start alternative.

2-14

The Advance Centium Program Rapid-Start (PRS) electronic ballasts have been designed for use with occupancy switches by providing up to 30,000 lamp starts. PRS electronic ballasts precisely
heat the lamp cathodes to 650C with virtually no glow current before
applying arc voltage to the lamp. Program rapid-start ballasts are typically wired in series. However, The Advance Centium PRS ballasts
also feature series-parallel lamp operation for the 3 and 4 lamp units.
This means that 1 or 2 lamps will continue to operate normally in the
event of a single lamp failure.

Programmed-Start
Programmed-start (PS) electronic ballasts provide maximum lamp
life in frequent starting conditions (up to 50,000 starts). PS ballasts
like the Advance Mark V, Mark VII 0-10V, SmartMate, and Mark
X Powerline use a custom integrated circuit (IC) which monitors
lamp and ballast conditions to ensure optimal system lighting performance. Like Program rapid-start ballasts, PS ballasts also precisely heat the lamp cathodes. However, PS ballasts heat the lamp
cathodes to 700C prior to lamp ignition. This puts the least amount
of stress on the lamp electrodes, resulting in maximum lamp life
regardless of the number of lamp starts. Programmed-start ballasts
are typically wired in series.

Ballast Factor
Light output ratings published by lamp manufacturers are based
on powering the lamp with a reference ballast as specified by ANSI
standards. The ballast factor of a particular ballast provides a measure of expected light output.
Advance Transformer offers electronic ballasts with several different ballast factors. This enables the lighting system designer to
adjust the lighting level to meet the requirements of a particular application. The lighting system designer can trade watts for lumens by
selecting the appropriate ballast.

POWERLINE INTERFACE
Voltage Regulation
Electric Utilities attempt to maintain constant line voltages; however, in some locations, wide swings may occur during peak power
periods. Advance Standard, Centium, Mark X Powerline and
SmartMate electronic ballasts operate at 10% voltage variation. The
Advance Mark V and Mark VII 0-10V electronic ballasts maintain
light output of 1% through input voltage changes of + 10%, and
operate over a wide voltage range.

The power factor of a ballast (Watts/Volts x Amps) is the measurement of how effectively it converts the voltage and current supplied by the power source into watts of usable power delivered to the
lamp. Perfect power utilization would result in a power factor of
unity. Advance electronic ballasts operate at very near unity (1.0 or
100%).

ELECTRONIC BALLAST HARMONIC DISTORTION


AND CURRENT
The exponential growth of electronic equipment and associated
line harmonics over the last two decades have raised concerns about
overheating transformers and neutral conductors in alternating current power systems. Most electric utilities now require that the Total
Harmonic Distortion (THD) of electronic ballasts be below 20%. THD
is the measurement of the magnitude of the input current harmonics
compared with the amplitude of the fundamental frequency current
(see figure B). However, electronic ballasts with THD ratings of 32%,
as required by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI),
present no problems to a power distribution system. All Advance
electronic ballasts are rated for either less than 20% THD (Standard
series) or less than 10% THD (Centium series and Mark V, VII 0 10V or X Powerline series).

EMI/RFI

Actual Waveform

Because they operate at high frequency, electronic ballasts may


produce radio frequency interference (RFI) or electromagnetic
interference (EMI). This interference could affect the operation of
sensitive electrical equipment, such as radios, televisions or medical equipment. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
regulates electromagnetic frequencies from 450 kilohertz (kHz) to
300 megahertz (Mhz). For electronic ballasts, the limits and regulations are listed in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 47, Part 18,
Subpart C entitled RF Lighting Devices. Tables are published for
absolute levels of radio frequency voltage that is legal at certain frequencies. There are two levels given: one for Non-Consumer
(industrial/commercial) and a more strict one for Consumer (residential). Advance electronic ballasts meet the requirements of the
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) f or non-consumer
applications.

IEEE and ANSI Requirements


Electronic components are sensitive to sudden surges of high voltage. These surges (or transients) may be caused by lightning strikes
to nearby transformers, overhead lines or the ground. Transients may
also be caused by switching of loads such as motors or compressors
and by short circuits or utility system switching. Although these
surges typically last for less than a second, they may cause electronic ballast failure unless the ballast is designed to protect against
these surges. Advance electronic ballasts can withstand the conditions specified in ANSI/IEEE C62.41, Cat. A.

Non-Dimming Applications
When selecting a ballast for a lighting application, the Total
Harmonic Current (THC) rating of the ballast is more significant than
Total Harmonic Distortion (THD). This is because the absolute value
of harmonic current, not the percentage, affects the electrical power
distribution system. As can been seen in the table on page 2-16, the
THC rating of our Standard 2-lamp electronic T8 lamp ballast is well
below that of both the conventional and energy-saving magnetic T12
lamp ballasts it replaces. Moreover, the THC rating of our Centium
electronic ballast is even lower.

Dimming Applications
Mark VII 0-10V
Traditional 0-10 Vdc controlled ballasts like the Mark VII 0-10V
typically produce less than 10% THD at full light output and less than
20% THD throughout the entire dimming range, but require extra
wires for the control circuit. THC is always lower than that of the conventional or energy-saving magnetic system.

Mark X Powerline
Mark X Powerline electronic dimming ballasts are controlled by 2wire modified powerline phase-cut style line voltage dimmers, such
as part number REZ-C500-A. Whenever the ballast is dimmed, the
input voltage is cut or chopped, causing the THD and THC to
increase and the Power Factor to decrease.
Mark X Powerline electronic dimming systems (ballast and controller) have similar THD and Power Factor levels as the conventional
lighting systems they replace. Since a much smaller load is required by
the Mark X Powerline electronic dimming system to achieve the same
illumination level as a magnetic ballast system (20-30% less), the total
input current will be considerably less. As a result, the magnitude of the
total harmonic current will be less.
For example, a typical Mark X Powerline electronic ballast and
dimmer control might draw a line current of .058A at 15% THD at full
light output. If the light level is reduced to 5% of the maximum, the
input power is decreased to 0.19A at 95% THD. While the THD level
may seem

Conclusions
Our analysis demonstrates that a simple ballast retrofit to electronic ballasts will not cause harmonic problems if none existed
before the retrofit. Also, in new fixture applications, total harmonic
distortion should not be a concern when specifying electronic ballasts. Finally, it is important to remember that electronic ballasts are
not the greatest source of THD in an electrical distribution system.
Other electronic devices such as computers, laser printers, and other
electronic equipment can draw current with more than 100% THD in
some cases.

alarmingly high at the 5% maximum light output setting, the total

HIGH FREQUENCY ELECTRONIC BALLASTS


Compatibility With Powerline Carrier Systems

The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) has a prescribed


standard for the measurement of ballast characteristics (C82.2). This
standard sets forth these requirements:
1. Ballast and lamps are in a room at 25C 1/ 2C (77F 1F).
2. Minimal draft across lamps (airflow of 1 ft./min. or less is optimum).
3. Lamps should be horizontally mounted, and should be separated by at least 9 inches to prevent mutual heating.
4. Lamps should be seasoned test lamps and operated on a reference ballast until stabilization (15 minutes) before switching
to the ballast under test.
5. Measurements shall be taken within 30 seconds after switching in the ballast under test.

A powerline carrier system (PLC) uses electronic wiring devices to


send information via a high frequency signal over the 120V or 277V
electrical power distribution system of a building. For example, PLC
systems are used in automatic clock systems (master time systems)
to synchronize all of the clocks in a building or reset the time after a
power outage. They eliminate the need for maintenance personnel to
reset hundreds of clocks throughout a facility.
In a PLC system, a generator is used to impose a 1 to 4V high frequency signal on top of the existing voltage sine wave (60 Hz). This
signal is generally in the 2500 to 9500Hz range, with some older systems operating at 19,500Hz or higher. Some electronic ballasts which
are capacitive can absorb the signal from a PLC system. As a result,
the signal becomes too weak to be heard by the receiver (like a
timeclock) connected to the powerline.
Most Advance Standard (REL-/VEL-) ballasts are inductive and do
not absorb the PLC signals that are sent through the powerline.
However, other Advance brands may be incompatible with existing
PLC systems. These include: Centium (RCN-/VCN-), Mark V (RIC/VIC-), Mark VII 0-10V (RZT-/VZT-), and Mark X Powerline (REZ/VEZ-). To find out which Advance electronic ballasts are compatible
with PLC systems, contact our Technical Support department.

The watts obtained from this test method are listed as ANSI watts
in the Advance Atlas, and will be the highest out of these 3 commonly-listed categories.
1. ANSI watts
2. Open fixture watts
3. Enclosed fixture watts
The maximum light output and wattage of a fluorescent lamp is
obtained when the bulb wall temperature of the lamp is 100F. When
the bulb wall temperature is greater or less than that optimum, light
output and wattage will decrease.
Heat generated by lamps and ballasts in an open fixture is usually
sufficient to increase bulb wall temperature above 100F, thereby
decreasing light output and input watts by approximately 5%.
Enclosing the fixture with a lens will result in higher temperatures,
decreasing light output and wattage by approximately 10%.

Ballast Fusing
All Advance electronic ballasts are internally fused to protect the
building electrical system against catastrophic failure of the ballast.

No PCBs
Advance electronic ballasts contain no PCBs or other hazardous
materials.

Thermal Potting Compound


Most Advance electronic ballasts are filled with a specially formulated potting material designed to transfer heat away from critical
components, eliminate thermal hot spots and provide resistance
against rough handling.

Cool Operation
Electronic ballasts generate less waste heat than comparable magnetic ballasts. Typically, electronic ballasts will operate 20-30C cooler
than its magnetic counterpart. Advance electronic ballasts are
designed and warrantied for optimal life at a case temperature of 70C
unless otherwise specified. Ballasts should not be operated in an environment when the case temperature will exceed 75C. Cooler operation
results in longer ballast life and reduced air-condition requirements.

0F Lamp Ignition with Electronic Instant Start Ballasts


Advance Transformer warrants that Advance Transformer electronic ballast will ignite Philips, GE, and OSRAM/Sylvania lamps at a temperature of 50F. In addition, Advance Transformer has determined
that Philips, GE, and OSRAM/Sylvania will ignite at 0F satisfactorily
given the following conditions:
The ballast is operated at the rated nominal line voltage
Ballast-to-lamp distance does not exceed the standard lead lengths
Ballast is not tandem wired
The Advance Mark V series ballasts provide maximum lamp life
in 0F starting applications with their programmed-start design.
The lamp manufacturer should be consulted for lamp specifications and operating characteristics at temperatures below 50F.

Instant Start vs Rapid Start Sockets


When retrofitting to Advance rapid start, program rapid-start and
programmed-start electronic ballast into existing fixtures, sockets
must be RAPID START. Many fixtures with T8 Instant Start electronic ballasts use a pre-jumpered, or shunted Instant Start socket.
Instant Start sockets are designed to accept only one wire from the
ballast, while the MKVII and MKX Rapid Start ballasts require two distinctly separate wires for each lamp socket. If you encounter shunted
or jumpered sockets in a retrofit application, they must be removed
and replaced with Rapid Start sockets.

Acoustic Noise
Advance electronic ballasts operate at sound levels lower than
electromagnetic ballasts (up to 75% quieter).

Rapid Start

Shunted

Fluorescent Lamp Burn-In

Inrush Current
All ballasts have an initial current surge that is greater than its
steady-state operating current. The electrical system should be
designed with this issue in mind.

Jumpered

In order to get accurate and stable lamp light output and electrical
measurements, all new fluorescent lamps should be burned-in for

Table 3: CFL Ballast Wiring (with Restrictions)

ELECTRONIC
FLUORESCENT

Unlike magnetic ballasts, electronic ballasts are limited in remote


mounting distance from the lamps they operate. The factors limiting
the distance from the electronic ballasts to the lamps are: open circuit voltage as opposed to operating voltage, operating frequency
and the lamp operating current.
As the distance from the high frequency electronic ballasts to the
lamp increases, so does the capacitance across the lead wire to the
lamp. This increase in capacitance is important for two reasons.
First, if the capacitance is too high, there will not be sufficient open
circuit voltage across the lamp for proper lamp ignition.
Second, if the lamp is capable of ignition, the increased capacitance will cause a loss in the current to the lamp. The added capacitance creates what is known as a shunt around the lamp; in other
words the current will leak from the red wire (or blue) to the yellow,
completely bypassing the lamp. The current through the lamp will
be reduced, resulting in lower lumens, with the possibility that the
lamp will not be capable of sustained operation.
As a general rule, Advance instant start fixed light output ballasts
can be operated up to 20 using 18 AWG wire (see Table 6).
However, the remote mounting distances for Advance rapid start,
program rapid start and programmed start ballasts vary considerably (see Tables 1 thru 5).
Ballasts for long twin tube compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) typically have more restrictions: a maximum lead length of 3 feet with
the ballast mounted in the fixture (see table 1). Fixed light output
ballasts for other CFLs types, such as the Quad and Triple tubes,
have less restrictions (see table 3).
The Mark VII 0-10V and Mark X Powerline, 1 and 2 lamp T8
ballasts may be remote mounted to a maximum of 6 (refer to Table
4). The 3 lamp T8 dimming ballasts cannot be remote mounted and
must be mounted within the fixture (refer to Table 1). Dimming ballasts are particularly sensitive to high capacitance associated with
long lead wires. The dimming ballast is capable of very low dim levels (5%) because constant filament heat is provided to the lamp. If
there is any loss of current, the filament current will be reduced and
the lamp will begin to flicker, or it will be completely extinguished.
It is also important that the red and blue leads not be twisted together. Twisting the red and blue leads will add capacitance, causing the
lamp to flicker at the lower dimming levels.
In summary, there is a wide range and varying types of electronic ballast architectures that are capable of being remote mounted for
an equally wide range of distances. If you are uncertain of the
remote mounting restrictions for a particular electronic ballast
please consult Technical Services.

Installation Notes
Wiring Insertion/Extraction
To properly insert the input power or lamp leads into the ballast, perform the following steps:
Strip the copper wire 3/8 inch (wire must be 16-20 AWG solid or tinned)
Insert stripped end of wire into the ROUND hole in the connector terminal. Wire color should match color of connector terminal.
Gently pull on wire to ensure proper installation.
To properly extract the input power or lamp leads from the ballast, perform the following steps:
Insert wire extraction tool (available from Advance) or small flathead screwdriver (approx. 1.2 mm or 3/64 inch wide) into the
SQUARE hole in the connector terminal.
Pull wire out of the connector terminal while pushing on the extraction tool.
Remove extraction tool from the connector terminal.
General Application Information
The SmartMateTM ballast may experience in rush current that is higher than normal line current, when initial power is applied.
For compatibility with powerline carriers, please contact Advance Transformer.
Ballast grounding is critical. If the ballast is not grounded it can generate higher EMI and may not function properly.

*Wiring Instructions for Bi-Level Switching Ballasts


Two lamps must always be connected to the red leads. These lamps are not switched when the wall switch is toggled on and off. Rather,
the lamp(s) connected to the blue lead(s) are switched on and off when the wall switch is toggled. To switch between 3 and 2 lamps, insulate one of the blue leads for 600v.
