The wiring process of fluorescent tube lamp/light with Ballast,Starter
is quite easy and simple. In most cases when we buy a fluorescent light
it comes in a complete set with all wire connected. If you want do it
yourself , you can buy all the parts individually. And you can
complete all connection of the fluorescent light/lamp with the help of
this wiring circuit diagram.
Main parts of Fluorescent Tube Light:
1.Fluorescent Tube
2.Ballast
3.Starter
4.Holder, wire etc.
How Fluorescent Light's works:
The starter is like a key of fluorescent
light because it is used to light up the tube. When we connect the AC
supply voltage to the circuit, then the starter act like short circuited
and current flow through those filament (located at the first and
second end of the tube light) and the filament generate heat and it
ionized the gas (mercury vapor)
in the fluorescent tube lamp. So the gas becomes electrically
conductive medium. At the same time when the starter opened the circuit
path of two filaments from series connected, then the ballast release
its stored voltage. And it makes the fluorescent tube fully lighten. Now
the starter has no job in the circuit, if you open it from the circuit
the fluorescent tube light will be still lighten, until you release the
main supply.
