Electronic Ballast Fluorescent Light Wiring Diagram. A homesteading journey 48 348 views 8 11. Wiring diagram of single tube light installation with electronic ballast. It does this through the principle of electrical gas discharge an electronic ballast will convert power frequency to a very high frequency to initialize the gas discharge process in fluorescent lamps by controlling.
As no starter is used in the case of electronic ballast application the wiring diagram is slightly different. Replacing a ballast on a t12 fluorescent light fixture how to convert to a new electronic ballast duration. Light bulb manufacturers use the term lamp when referring to fluorescent lights. On this page we will refer to a fluorescent light bulb as a lamp or tube.
T12 ballasts are available but t12 lamps are being discontinued.
A fluorescent tube circuit includes a ballast wires lampholders and the tubes. A wiring diagram is a simplified standard photographic depiction of an electrical circuit. Depending on the light fixture and how it is mounted it may be easier and about the same price to replace the fixture instead of the ballast. It reveals the components of the circuit as streamlined shapes and also the power and also signal connections between the devices. If a t12 magnetic ballast fails it should be replaced with a t8 electronic ballast.
