to 15 m cable of 2.5 mm2 and another 20 m to the middle of the
Automatic restart after yes: tested with a dip down to 30% with power distribution), under worst case conditions.With an impedance of
lamp replacement or a duration of 10 mains cycles 800 mΩ the number of ballasts can be increased by 10%.
voltage dip 2. In some cases the maximum number of ballasts is not determined by
the MCB but by the maximum electrical load of the lighting installation.
Overvoltage protection 48 hr at 320 V AC 3. Note that the maximum number of ballasts is given when these are all
2 hr at 350 V AC switched on at the same moment, i.e. by a wall switch.
4. Measurements were carried out on single-pole MCB’s. For multi-pole
Insulation resistance test 500 V DC from Line/Neutral to Earth
(not between Line and Neutral)
Note: Ensure that the neutral is
reconnected again after abovementioned
test is carried out and before the
installation is put into operation.

The ballasts that are thermally protected use a protective method of

another type providing equivalent thermal protection.

* Ballasts are tested not to fail at a DC operation with a duration of 48hrs at
maximum ballast ambient temperature. No guarantees for DC operation longer
than 48hrs.
* For continuous DC operation an extra external fuse should be used for safety
reasons
* Continuous low DC voltages (< 198 V) can influence the lifetime of the ballast
