An integral multiple of the fundamental frequency (60 Hz) that becomes a component of the current.
Industry:Lights & lighting
Distortion of an AC waveform caused by multiples of the fundamental frequency (harmonics). Odd triplet harmonics (thirds, ninths, etc.) may result in large currents on the neutral line in a four-wire Wye three-phase system.
Industry:Lights & lighting
Unit used to measure frequency of alteration of current or voltage
Industry:Lights & lighting
Ballast with core & coils, designed to minimize ballast losses compared to the "standard" ballast.
Industry:Lights & lighting
A general term for mercury, metal halide (GE ConstantColor® CMH®, Multi-Vapor®, MXR or Arcstream®) and high-pressure sodium (GE Lucalox®) lamps. HID lamps contain compact arc tubes which enclose mercury and various gases with other chemicals and operate at relatively high pressures and temperatures.
Industry:Lights & lighting
A ballast whose power factor is corrected to 90% or greater by the use of a capacitor.
Industry:Lights & lighting
Lighting designed for (typically) industrial locations with a ceiling height of 25 feet and above.
Industry:Lights & lighting
HPS lamps are high intensity discharge light sources that product light by an electrical discharge though sodium vapor operating at relatively high pressures and temperatures. GE markets these lamps under the trade name of Lucalox®.
Industry:Lights & lighting
Time it takes for a High Intensity Discharge lamp to reach 90% of light output after going from on to off to on.
Industry:Lights & lighting
An electronic device providing a high voltage pulse to initiate an electrical discharge. Typically, the ignitor is paired with or is a part of the ballast (See STARTER).
