PC PRO T8<br />
for brilliant system efficiency<br />
The successful PC PRO T8 ballasts with new “ ” <strong>technology</strong> from <strong>Tridonic</strong>Atco now have<br />
improved properties. Users get added value from system efficiency and lamp management<br />
that are better than ever before.<br />
Always room for improvement<br />
Superb lamp management has always been a characteristic feature<br />
PC PRO T8 electronic ballasts. The tried and tested ASIC guarantee<br />
high levels of lighting comfort and quality. But there is nothing in this<br />
world that cannot be improved so <strong>Tridonic</strong>Atco is once again setting<br />
a milestone in the use of digital control with the introduction of “ ”<br />
<strong>technology</strong>.<br />
A high level of integration and a wealth of further innovative functions<br />
are the impressive results – and with above-average system efficiency.<br />
The PC PRO T8 ballasts – in their one and two-lamp versions –<br />
operate T8 fluorescent lamps with wattages from 18 W to 58 W not<br />
only in accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications but with<br />
innovative added value.<br />
Minimal power loss<br />
Als Now more than ever before energy efficiency is the crucial factor<br />
for many applications. This aspect has been improved in the<br />
PC PRO T8 ballasts as a result of reducing the power loss through<br />
improved thermal management. This positive effect comes directly<br />
from the use of <strong>technology</strong>. Less heat is produced and therefore<br />
the thermal load on the ECG is lower, which increases the reliability<br />
of the device.<br />
The new PC PRO T8 generation has a greater thermal safety margin<br />
(up to 135 %) with respect to the limit temperature at the smoothing<br />
capacitor. As the operating temperature effectively determines the life<br />
of the device a reduction in the constant load of 10 K at the capacitor<br />
translates into a doubling of life – just a reduction of 1 K leads to<br />
a considerable improvement in reliability.<br />
Added value guaranteed<br />
PC PRO T8<br />
ballasts are designed for universal application.<br />
A lifetime of 50,000 hours at an ambient temperature of up to +60 °C<br />
brings long-term benefits.<br />
Plus points all round<br />
As less heat has to be removed, PC PRO T8<br />
Technical data<br />
• Gentle hot restart<br />
• Automatic restart on relamping<br />
• Constant luminous flux even if the mains voltage fluctuates<br />
• Maximum protection for the lamp thanks to<br />
intelligent voltage monitoring (overvoltage/undervoltage)<br />
• Automatic shutdown if the lamp is faulty<br />
• Rapid wiring with insulation piercing terminals<br />
• DC operation possible (emergency lighting)<br />
• Temperature range –25 °C to +60 °C<br />
• Protection classes I and II<br />
• RI suppressed up to 1 GHz (EN 50015 and EN 55022)<br />
• ENEC and VDE EMC tested, CE symbol<br />
provides the ideal<br />
basis for creative lighting design; in other words optimum thermal<br />
management for delicate products.<br />
Existing PC PRO T8 ballasts can be easily replaced with innovative<br />
generation ballasts because the casing dimensions, attachment<br />
points and <strong>connection</strong> positions on both the power supply side and<br />
the lamp side are identical.<br />
