HIGH FREQUENCY ELECTRONIC BALLASTS

Electronic Ballast Fundamentals

The job of a ballastIn all fluorescent lighting systems, the ballast’s basic tasks

include:• Providing the proper voltage to establish an arc between the

two electrodes.• Regulating the electric current flowing through the lamp to

stabilize light output.In some fluorescent lighting systems, the ballast also provides

a controlled amount of electrical energy to preheat or maintain thetemperature of the lamp electrodes at levels specified by the man-ufacturer. This is required to prevent electrode filaments deterio-rating prematurely and shortening the lamp life.

Starting MethodsFor many years there were only three types of lighting systems:

preheat, rapid start and slimline instant start. With the introductionof electronic ballasts, two additional types of lighting system cir-cuits have been added: instant start for T8 lamps and programmedstart. Each requires a special ballast design to operate the lampsin the circuit properly.

Instant start electronic ballasts start lamps without delay (<0.1seconds) or flicker by providing a starting voltage that is suffi-ciently high to start a discharge through the lamps without theneed for heating lamp electrodes. For F32T8 systems, the startingvoltage is about 600V. The elimination of electrode heating maxi-mizes energy savings – typically saving two watts per lamp com-pared to rapid start ballasts. Instant start ballasts are best suitedfor applications with limited switches each day. Lamps operated byinstant start ballasts typically operate 10,000 to 15,000 switchcycles before failure.

Rapid start electronic ballasts start lamps quickly (0.5 – 1.0 sec-onds) without flicker by heating the lamp electrodes and simulta-neously applying a starting voltage. The starting voltage of about500V for F32T8 systems is sufficient to start a discharge throughthe lamps when the electrodes have reached an adequate temper-ature. Electrode heating continues during operation and typicallyconsumes two watts per lamp. Lamps operated by rapid start ballasts typically operate 15,000 to 20,000 switch cycles beforefailure.

Programmed start electronic ballasts also start lamps quickly(1.0 -1.5 seconds) without flicker. Programmed start ballasts aredesigned to provide maximum lamp life in frequent lamp startingapplications such as in areas where occupancy sensor controls areused. Programmed start electronic ballasts precisely heat the lampelectrodes, tightly controlling the preheat duration before applyingthe starting voltage. This enhancement over rapid start ballastsminimizes electrode stress and depletion of emitter material,thereby maximizing lamp life. Lamps operated by programmedstart ballasts typically operate up to 50,000 switch cycles beforefailure.

CircuitsSeries vs. Parallel. Lighting systems are typically wired in a

series or parallel circuit. When a ballast is operating multiplelamps in a series circuit, if one lamp fails, the circuit is opened andall the lamps will extinguish. When a ballast operates multiplelamps in a parallel circuit, the lamps operate independently of eachother so, if one lamp fails, the others can keep operating as the cir-cuit between them and the ballast remains unbroken.

Input Watts

As a general rule, rapid start ballasts are wired with the lampsin series. Programmed start ballasts are also typically wired withlamps in series. However, some three- and four-lamp ballasts fea-ture series-parallel operation; so that when a single lamp in onebranch fails, the lamp(s) in the parallel branch will continue tooperate. Instant start ballasts are typically wired with the lamps inparallel.

The Language of BallastsInput Voltage (dedicated vs. multi). Most ballasts are designed to

operate at specific voltages. Newer electronic ballasts, includingAdvance models that use IntelliVolt® technology, offer much greaterflexibility and other advantages such as inventory reduction.Today’s increasing demands on electrical utilities can cause widevoltage variations during load demand changes which in turn causelight output from lamps operated on dedicated electronic and elec-tromagnetic ballasts to vary with the input voltage changes. WithIntelliVolt technology, many Advance ballasts maintain constantlight output through nominal input voltage ranges of 120 to 277volts, thereby compensating for any change in input voltage.Someballasts operate from 277 to 480 volts or 347 to 480 volts.

Input Watts/ANSI Watts. Input watts published by ballast man-ufacturers are the total watts consumed by both the ballast and thelamps it operates. ANSI watts are the rating given for a ballastmeasured under the strict testing procedures specified by ANSIstandards and are the only dependable measure of this perform-ance. Energy savings can be determined by comparing the inputwatts of different lighting systems.

Input watts may be affected by tolerance build-up from the bal-last, lamp, input voltage and ambient temperature. The input wattspublished in this catalog are for nominal conditions only.

Ballast Factor (BF) is the ratio of light output from a lamp oper-ated on a commercial ballast to the light output of that same lampoperated on a “reference ballast” as specified by ANSI standards.Light output ratings published by lamp manufacturers, are basedon this “reference ballast”.

BF is a measure of light output best thought of as a ‘multiplier’.Multiplying the BF times rated lumens will determine actual lightoutput of a given system operated on commercial ballasts.

Ballast Efficacy Factor (BEF) is the ratio of ballast factor to inputwatts. This measurement is generally used to compare the efficiency of various lighting systems – higher numbers beingmore efficient.

This comparison is only valid, however, for ballasts operatingthe same number and type of lamps. In order to compare differenttypes of lighting systems, the lumen output of the lamps must alsobe used. For more information, see “The ABC’s of ElectronicFluorescent Ballasts”.

Total Harmonic Distortion (THD). Harmonic distortion occurswhen the wave-shape of current or voltage varies from a pure sinewave. Except for a simple resistor, all electronic devices, includingelectromagnetic and electronic ballasts, contribute to power-linedistortion. For ballasts, THD is generally considered the percent ofharmonic current the ballast adds to the power distribution system.The ANSI standard for electronic ballasts specifies a maximum THDof 32% for commercial applications.. However, most electric utili-ties now require that the THD of electronic ballasts be 20% or less.Almost all Advance electronic ballasts are rated for either less than20% THD or less than 10% THD.

Power Factor (PF) is the measurement of how effectively a ballast converts the voltage and current supplied by the powersource into watts of usable power delivered to the ballast and lamps.Perfect power utilization would result in a power factor of one.

Power factor measurements pertain only to the effective use ofpower supplied to the ballast. They are not an indication of the ballast’s ability to supply light through the lamps. Because lowpower factor ballasts require about twice the current needed byhigh power factor ballasts, they allow fewer fixtures per circuit andcreate added wiring costs. High power factor ballasts are generallyspecified for all commercial lighting applications.

EMI/RFI. Because they operate at high frequency, electronicballasts may produce electromagnetic interference (EMI) or radiofrequency interference (RFI). RFI frequencies are a subset of EMIfrequencies. EMI issues cover all possible operating frequencieswhile RFI is only concerned with radio and television frequencies.This interference could affect the operation of sensitive electricalequipment, such as radios, televisions or medical equipment. AllAdvance electronic ballasts incorporate features necessary to afford maximum protection for the operating environment andoperate well within regulatory limits. For more information, see “The ABC’s of Electronic Fluorescent Ballasts”.

Ballast Noise. The slight “humming” sound associated with fluorescent lighting systems results from vibration caused by theinherent electromagnetic action in the core-and-coil assembly ofthe ballasts. All electromagnetic and some electronic ballasts makethis sound. Ballasts are assigned a sound rating, “A” through “F”,based on the amount of sound produced, with “A” being the quietest. Generally, the larger the lamp and ballast, the higher thesound level and the sound rating will be. Because electronic ballasts have smaller components, they have the lowest sound rating. Some electronic ballasts make almost no sound. There isno ANSI standard for this rating and it is left up to the manufac-turer to rate their ballasts.

Inrush Current. All electrical devices including ballasts have an initial current surge that is greater than their steady-state operating current. A new standard published by the NationalElectrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) – NEMA 410 –Performance Testing for Lighting Controls and Switching Deviceswith Electronic Fluorescent Ballasts – covers worst-case ballastinrush currents. All circuit breakers and light switches aredesigned for inrush currents. The electrical system should bedesigned with this issue in mind.

1 For a more technical study demonstrating that a Mark 10®

Powerline electronic dimming system produces less transformerheating over its entire dimming range than does an energy savingmagnetic system that it replaces, see the article THD in AdvanceMark 10® Powerline Electronic Dimming Systems by O.C. Morse.Re: www.advancetransformer.com

2 The Total Harmonic Current (THC) of a ballast is calculated by thefollowing equation:

An approximation of THC may be obtained by simply multiplying theballast input current by %THD.

Table 1: Comparison of THD and THC Levels

Mark 10® PowerlineMark 10® Powerline electronic dimming ballasts are con-

trolled by 2-wire modified powerline phase-cut style line voltagedimmers. Whenever the ballast is dimmed, the input voltage iscut or “chopped”, causing the THD and THC to increase and thePower Factor to decrease.

Mark 10® Powerline electronic dimming systems (ballast andcontroller) have similar THD and Power Factor levels as the con-ventional lighting systems they replace. Since a much smaller loadis required by the Mark 10® Powerline electronic dimming systemto achieve the same illumination level as a magnetic ballast system(20-30% less), the total input current will be considerably less. Asa result, the magnitude of the total harmonic current will be less.

For example, a typical Mark 10® Powerline electronic ballastand dimmer control might draw a line current of 0.58A at 15%THD at full light output. If the light level is reduced to 5% of themaximum, the input power is decreased to 0.19A at 95% THD.While the THD level may seem alarmingly high at the 5% max-

imum light output setting, the total harmonic current is stilllower (0.13A) than the conventional T12 magnetic system(0.20A). Moreover, the overall heating effect on the wires andthe distribution transformer is never higher than the existingconventional or energy saving T12 magnetic systems.1

ConclusionsOur analysis demonstrates that a simple ballast retrofit to

electronic ballasts will not cause harmonic problems if noneexisted before the retrofit. Also, in new fixture applications, totalharmonic distortion should not be a concern when specifyingelectronic ballasts. Finally, it is important to remember that elec-tronic ballasts are not the greatest source of THD in an electri-cal distribution system. Other electronic devices such as com-puters, laser printers, and other electronic equipment can drawcurrent with more than 100% THD in some cases.

Total Harmonic Current

Non-Dimming Applications

When selecting a ballast for a lighting application, the TotalHarmonic Current (THC) rating of the ballast is more significantthan Total Harmonic Distortion (THD). This is because the absolutevalue of harmonic current, not the percentage, affects the electricalpower distribution system. As can been seen in the table on page1-12, 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 THCrating of our Centium electronic ballast is even lower.

Dimming Applications

Mark 7® 0-10V and ROVRTraditional low voltage controlled ballasts and ROVRTM typically

produce less than 10% THD at full light output and less than 20% THD throughout the entire dimming range, but require extrawires for the control circuit. THC is always lower than that of theconventional or energy-saving magnetic system.

Ballast LifeAdvance fluorescent electronic and magnetic ballasts are

designed and manufactured to engineering standards correlating toan average life expectancy of 50,000 hours of operation at maxi-mum rated case temperature. Since Advance ballasts operatebelow their maximum case temperature in the majority of applica-tions, increased ballast life can be expected. As a rule of thumb, ballast life is doubled for every 10°C reduction in ballast case operating temperature. However, there are many variables, such asinput voltage, ambient temperature, etc. which affect ballast operating temperatures, and therefore ballast life.

Lamp Operating FrequencyElectromagnetic ballasts and the lamps connected to them oper-

ate at an input voltage frequency of 60 Hertz (Hz), 60 cycles per second–which is the standard alternating voltage/current frequencyprovided in North America. Electronic ballasts, on the other hand,convert this 60 Hz input to operate lamps at much higher frequencies above 20 Kilohertz (kHz), 20,000 cycles per second.Advance designs operate above 20 kHz, but avoid certain rangessuch as 30-40 kHz (infrared) and 54-62 kHz (theft deterrent systems) due to interference issues.

Because electronic ballasts function at high frequency, the fluo-rescent lighting systems that they operate can convert power to lightmore efficiently than systems operated by electromagnetic ballasts(See Chart Below). For example, lamps operated on electronic ballasts can produce over 10 percent more light then if operated onelectromagnetic ballasts at the same power levels. In effect, today’selectronic ballasts provide additional energy savings by matchingthe light output from electromagnetic ballasts while operating thelamps at lower power. This is the main reason why electronic ballastsystems are more efficient than magnetic ballast system.

Weight and Size AdvantagesSince electronic components in electronic ballasts are smaller

and lighter than the core-and-coil assembly in electromagneticballasts, electronic ballasts can weigh less than half as much ascomparable electromagnetic models. Almost all Advance electronicballasts have a smaller cross-section than electromagnetic ballastsbut maintain the same mounting dimensions. This means that theycan fit into all new fixture designs and can be easily retrofitted intoexisting fluorescent lighting systems.

ControllabilityThe ability of a building’s occupants to control how they light

their space is becoming an increasingly important factor fororganizations in determining what real estate they will lease, buy or invest in. The ability to dim the lights or easily shut themoff completely is a trend fueled not just by a desire to help the envi-ronment, but also by significant economic benefits. These benefitsinclude greater energy efficiency – in terms of reduced HVAC costsas well as energy savings for lighting – more comfortable and productive working environments, and compliance with ever tighterenergy efficiency regulations. Advance offers three families ofelectronic controllable ballasts – ROVR™, Mark 7™ 0-10V and Mark 10™ Powerline – that can provide up to 65% energy savingsover standard T8 fixed light output systems.

Compatibility With Powerline Carrier SystemsA powerline carrier system (PLC) uses electronic wiring devices

to send information via a high frequency signal over the 120V or277V electrical power distribution system of a building. For exam-ple, PLC systems are used in automatic clock systems (mastertime systems) to synchronize all of the clocks in a building or resetthe time after a power outage. They eliminate the need for mainte-nance personnel to reset hundreds of clocks throughout a facility.

In a PLC system, a generator is used to impose a 1 to 4V highfrequency signal on top of the existing voltage sine wave (60 Hz).This signal is generally in the 2500 to 9500Hz range, with someolder systems operating at 19,500Hz or higher. Some electronicballasts which are capacitive can absorb the signal from a PLCsystem. As a result, the signal becomes too weak to be “heard” bythe receiver (like a timeclock) connected to the powerline.

Instant Start vs. Rapid Start Sockets for DimmingWhen using dimming ballasts in fixtures, sockets must be of the

RAPID START type. Many fixtures with T-8 Instant Start electronicballasts use jumpered or “shunted” Instant Start sockets.Controllable ballasts require two distinctly separate wires for eachlamp socket. If you encounter shunted or jumpered sockets in aretrofit application, they must be removed and replaced with RapidStart sockets.

Crest FactorLamp manufacturers use crest factor to determine ballast

performance as it relates to lamp life. Lamp Current Crest Factoris a measurement of current supplied by a ballast to start andoperate the lamp. It is basically the ratio of peak current to RMS(average) current. High crest factor currents may cause the lampelectrodes to wear out faster, reducing lamp life. Crest factorrequirements are regulated by ANSI (American National StandardsInstitute) standards and specified by lamp manufacturers. Forrapid start and instant start T8 lamps the ratio is 1.7 maximum,and for instant start slimline lamps, it is 1.85 maximum.

Fluorescent Lamp Burn-InToday, most lamp manufacturers do not require the burn-in of lin-

ear fluorescent lamps prior to dimming in order to attain rated lamplife and stable electrical measurements. However, some manufac-turers compact fluorescent lamp sources do require a 100 hourburn-in prior to dimming. Consult your lamp manufacturer for theirlatest requirements.

Improper socket application will damage the ballast and void the ballast warranty.Refer to ballast wiring diagram for proper installation.
