Technical Details – Components for Discharge Lamps
Reliability and service life
Provided the maximum winding temperature is not exceeded, the ballasts can be expected to yield a
service life of 100,000 operating hours.
Failure rate < 0.025 %/1,000 hrs
Electrical installation
Push-in terminals Terminals can be contacted with rigid conductors up to a maximum of 1.5 mm².
Screw terminals • Terminals can be contacted with rigid or flexible conductors with ferrules on bare end
of core
• Conductor cross-sections are determined by the terminals and can vary according to
type 0.5–1.5 mm² / 0.75–2.5 mm² / 1.5–2.5 mm²
• Stripped lead length: 8–9 mm
• Conductors must not be tin-plated
• Max. tightening torque 0.5 Nm
Wiring
Components
The wiring between the power supply, ballast and lamp must be in accordance with
the respective circuit diagram (see pages 93–95).
High-pressure discharge lamps must only be fitted with components that are rated to
withstand the respective ignition voltage.
