The Gearbox is a driver system combining electromagnetic ballast, ignitor and compensating capacitor.
Benefits
- Limited volume of ballast coil; also lightweight
- Eliminates the need for an external ignitor and external capacitor
- Simple installation and cabling
Features
- Orthocyclic winding process for ballast
- Earthing-while-mounting facility (HID Standard ballasts)
- Equipped with screw terminal blocks
- Low watt losses
Applications
- For built-in applications for road and public lighting with metal-halide and CDM lamps
- For indoor application only; not suitable for outdoor installation
- HID-Basic ballasts should be restricted to built-in situations where relative humidity is limited.
