So, we give advantages of electronic ballasts:
- The lamp is switched on in a short time - no more than 1 second.
- The frequency of the electronic ballast is 40-50 thousand hertz, so there is no flicker effect( in EmPra, the frequency of operation is 50 Hz, which makes eyes weary).
- The service life of fluorescent lamps when working with electronic ballasts is doubled( if the lamp is of good quality, maybe more).
- If the energy-saving light bulb running through the EMPRA burns out, the current will still flow to the electrodes. At the same time, ballast blocks the supply of electricity, which positively affects energy saving and safety.
- The undoubted advantage of electronic ballasts over an outdated analog is the possibility of a warm start-up of the lamp, due to which for a fraction of a second the lamp spirals preheat before starting. This in turn increases the lamp life.
- No noise during operation, while the EMPRA is buzzing, which can interfere with work or rest.
- An understandable connection diagram, which is displayed by the manufacturer on the ballast body. Undoubted advantage, especially for inexperienced electricians.
- Electronic ballast is heated less, which also saves electricity.
- Higher efficiency - power reaches 0.95.
- Lighting in the operation of lamps with electronic ballasts is very close to natural.
The video below clearly illustrates the advantages of electronic ballasts:
We have considered the advantages of electronic ballasts compared to electromagnetic ballasts. As for the shortcomings, there are 2 of them: high cost and failure at voltage surges, if the products are cheap. Otherwise, modern devices are much better than their predecessors and if you want to make lighting in the house using energy-saving light bulbs, be sure to purchase those in which electronic ballast is installed. Now you know about the main advantages of electronic ballasts before the EMPRA.If you like the information, please share it in the social network by clicking on the appropriate icon under the article!
