Note
  • ·Glow starter suitable for 11W-SH / 10W-DH / 13W-DH (220-240 V)
  • Glow starter suitable for 18W-DH / 26W-DH (220-240V)
  • Closing Voltage & Non-reclosure voltage are tested in series circuit as per IEC 155 1993 for fluorescent lamp starter, by converting ballast and lamp data to respective CFL as per IEC 901 1996.
  • Endurance test & Apex-Peak voltage test are conducted as per circuit & method given in IEC 155 1993 for Fluorescent lamp starter by replacing ballast & lamp data to respective CFL as per IEC 901 1996. CFL used for testing are as per IEC 901 - 1996.Ballast of Philips, Atco and Vossloh Schwabe make with following ratings are used for testing:
    220/230/240 V , 50 Hz
    Suitable with respective CFL as per IEC 901-1996









TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION FOR FS-U STARTERS
These Starters are intended for Fluorescent Lamps of 4W to 80W ratings for 220 - 250 Voltage supply, 50 Hz.

Starters have following characteristics

Dimension & Mechanical tests : As per all relevant world standards. ( IEC 155, BS 3772 )

Capacitor :- 6 kpf ± 5% capacitoe has been incorporated for radio interference suppression which has sufficient resistance to moisture and can withstand 1.5 KV AC flash test.

Ignition Time:-
Ballast with short circuit current of 0.56 to 0.63 amps. At 240 V 50 Hz. are used.
·Capacitors of 3.15 + 5% mfd are used.
·Tube lamp of ?Philips? make 36 W are used.

Inductive circuits (LPF):-
At 175 Voltage, lamp will ignite within 10 sec.

Capacitive circuit (HPF):-
At 180 Voltage, lamp will ignite within 15 sec.
At 190 Voltage, lamp will ignite within 10 sec.
At 240 Voltage, lamp will ignite within 7 sec.

Peak Voltage : Peak Voltage tested at 180 V will be minimum of 500 Voltage and the average will not be below 800 Voltage.

Endurance test:-
·30 sec. on / 30 sec. off, on 80 W inductive circuit will complete 10000 cycles (maximum failure accepted: 10%)

·30 sec. on / 30 sec. off, on 36 W lamp capacitive circuit will complete 10000 cycles (maximum failure accepted: 20%)

Deactivated lamp test:- Will complete 8 hours continuously without welding. Starting parameters will not change till first 4 hours.
