What is the use of electronic ballast
The role of the electronic ballast is high voltage during light did not shine on its breakdown discharge began to work, then the limit of its current through in rating, can make the normal light.
Once the puncture is worn, the resistance becomes very low, and if you do not restrict it, there will be a large current flowing through the electrode and burning it.
Electronic ballast used for gas discharge of electric light source (e.g., home of the fluorescent lamp), they are glowing by gas discharge principle, and the characteristics of the gas discharge is high voltage (kv) is needed to make the breakdown began to work,
