HID Control Gear
Introduction
Philips Lighting produces the widest possible selection of
control gear for High-Intensity Discharge lamps, including
electronic and electromagnetic ballasts, controllers, ignitors
and capacitors.
Electronic HID control gear
The application of fully electronic control gear for running HID lamps is
growing apace. Such gear is already available for specific types of metal
halide (such as Mastercolour CDM) and low- and high-pressure sodium
lamps. It offers important advantages, including a higher frequency
(90-130 Hz) circuit, resulting in a total absence of lamp flickering.
What is more, lamp life is extended, starting behaviour improved and
colour stability enhanced.
Given the benefits that they bring, the lines of electronic control gear
for other types of HID lamps will be extended in the near future.
Electromagnetic HID control gear
Satisfying all the relevant IEC lamp standards, a broad selection of
electromagnetic control gear is offered. Depending on the specific
application and/or economic considerations, Philips Lighting can supply
HID-HeavyDuty (encapsulated) or HID-Basic (impregnated) ballast
types.
This programme embraces, among other things, ballasts for ignitor
systems such as the semi-parallel (impulser) and series (superimposed)
versions. What is more, high-quality HID-HighPower ballasts are
available for wattage ratings of 1000 W and above.
HID ignitors
A full programme of electronic ignitors for metal halide and high- and
low-pressure sodium lamps is detailed. Semi-parallel ignitors should be
used in combination with the appropriate semi-parallel Philips ballasts
(with an ignitor terminal connection). Series ignitors can operate with
these same ballasts (where the ignitor connection is then not used) or
with Philips series ballasts or those from other CENELEC-approved
manufacturers.
Considerations on HID lamp circuits
In HID lamp circuits using electromagnetic control gear, various issues
arise that warrant closer consideration.
Various ballast designs
The different applications distinguish the three ranges of Philips HID
ballast:
- HID-Heavy Duty, encapsulated ballasts suitable for outdoor situations
inside luminaires, poles or posts under humid conditions, also for
high-end indoor applications (offering the lowest hum-levels);
- HID-Basic, impregnated ballasts for indoor or outdoor use in
enclosed applications; the ballasts should not be exposed to humid
environments;
- HID-HighPower, suitable for large-scale applications with power
ratings of 1000 W and above; these ballasts are designed for the most
rigorous demands.
Ignitor systems for HID lamp circuits
For the ignition of lamps like high-pressure sodium and metal halide
lamps, there is normally a choice between two systems:
- Semi-parallel (also called impulser (IMP)) or
- Series (also called superimposed (SIP)).
In many cases, the two systems are interchangeable. However, on close
comparison, numerous differences are evident:
- Semi-parallel:
- Control gear can be installed remotely (see below);
- Fewer design restrictions, such as cable capacitance sensitivity,
non-self-heating circuit;
- Lower watt losses;
- Protected against possible damage from lamp arcing;
- Absence of ignitor hum.
- Series:
- Lengthy cabling is possible with ignitor installed close to the lamp;
- Lamp ignition operates independent of the ballast.
Remote control gear
By using semi-parallel ignitors, applications are possible where the
control gear is located remotely.This means that the gear components
(ballast, ignitor, capacitor) are installed at some physical distance from
the lamp, which in some situations (such as floodlighting) can simplify
installation considerably. What is more, temperature-sensitive
components can be placed away from potential heat sources.
Refer to the tables of data to confirm the required cable capacitances
(based on a typical value of 100 pF/m). In practice, the specification of
the cable used will need to be checked.
Thermo-protected gear
Keeping in mind the latest European legislation (September 2001), it
will be highly advisable to use so-called thermo-protected ballasts, i.e.
2.112
HID LAMPS & CONTROL GEAR
Introduction
ballasts with built-in thermal switches, when operating high-pressure
sodium or metal halide lamps. Philips Lighting has a complete range of
thermo-protected ballasts (see ‘TS’ in the type number) available for all
the relevant lamp types.
Anti-cycling digital ignitors
"Digital ignitors are highly recommended because they detect faulty
lamps in an early stage and prevent unneccesary stress on the system".
Especially when it may be expected that defect lamps are not replaced
immediately these digital ignitors will extend the system lifetime
largely."
- For high-pressure sodium lamps, which require some 2-5 minutes for
re-ignition; and
- For metal halide and compact HID lamps, which need about
10-15 minutes.
Lifetime of ballasts and ignitors
All electromagnetic ballasts have been designed for a problem-free
lifetime of 10 years continuous operation where the tw has not been
exceeded. Under normal circumstances, the ignitor actually functions
for just a few cycles each day when the lighting is switched on.
However, ignitor life can be seriously jeopardised when an inoperative
lamp remains in an energised lampholder for extended periods of
time. In such instances, the ignitor could be pulsing from 8-24 hours
per day, depending on the application. For this reason, it is advisable to
use ignitors that limit the ignition attempts and therefore extend
system life.
Compensation of circuits
Where electromagnetic ballasts are employed, the power factor in the
circuit usually needs to be corrected. In each table of data
accompanying the product information, the value of capacitor is given
to correct the power factor to a level of 0.9. In such situations, this
capacitor is connected across the mains supply input.
Rating of ∆t
For all electromagnetic ballasts, the maximum permissible temperature
of the ballast winding (tw) is laid down at 130 ºC.The change in
temperature (∆t) is the rise under normal operating conditions, while
the maximum ambient temperature is derived from tw minus ∆t.
Tapping possibilities
For logistical reasons, the entire HID-Basic ballast range is available in
multi-voltage versions i.e 230/240V, 50Hz and 220/230V, to limit the
tables in this OEM-guide only 230/240V types are given.
Ballast type-numbers
Each element of the ballast type-number has a purpose. Refer to the
