Notes:
1. Data is based on a mains supply with an impedance of 400mΩ, under
worst case conditions. With an impedance of 800mΩ the number of
ballasts can be increased by 10%.
2. Measurements will be verified in real installations; therefore data are

3. In some cases the maximum number of ballasts is not determined
by the MCB but by the maximum electrical load of the lighting
installation.
4. Note that the maximum number of ballasts is given when these are
all switched on at the same moment, i.e. by a wall switch.
5. Measurements were carried out on single-pole MCB’s. For
multi-pole MCB’s, it is advised to reduce the number of ballasts by
20%.
