Capacitors for HID lamp circuits
Compensating capacitors are AC capacitors designed for individual correction of the power factor of transformers and magnetic ballasts in discharge lamps (e.g. fluorescent lamps, halogen and metal halide lamps, high-pressure mercury lamps, sodium lamps) in mains with a frequency of 50 or 60Hz. This allows for an improvement of the luminary’s power factor to cosμ>0.85.
Benefits
- Up to 250v 50Hz/60Hz -40ºC~85ºC application
Features
- Polypropylene film
- Type A capacitor
Applications
- With magnetic ballasts for HID fluorescent and halogen lamps in lighting applications (road lighting, urban lighting, industry lighting, retail lighting, etc)
- With magnetic ballasts for HID fluorescent and halogen lamps in lighting applications (road lighting, urban lighting, industry lighting, retail lighting, etc)
