Ballasts are rated for the scale of lamp and energy frequency. In North America, the AC voltage is insufficient to start long fluorescent lamps, so the ballast is commonly a step-up autotransformer with substantial leakage inductance (so as to limit the present circulate). Both type of inductive ballast may embrace a capacitor for power factor correction. Fluorescent lamps can run directly from a direct current (DC) provide of enough voltage to strike an arc. The ballast should be resistive, and...
