Used Ballasts and Power Supplies
Ballasts are power supplies used for creating light. Without ballasts/power supplies to help create an inductive amount of energy, light bulbs and stage lights would destruct or possibly blowup. These ballasts/power supplies are able to stabilize the electrical current by affecting the electrical load of circuits.
For instance, electronic ballast is a device, which restricts the number of currents in an electrical circuit and produces light. A lamp starter requires inducer ballasts so that both ends of the lamp donâ??t overheat.
Another example is the magnetic ballast, which is used in fluorescent lamps to create radiant light. They are called magnetic ballasts/power supplies because they utilize an inducer. An inductor has 2 main perks. First of all, it will limit the power available to a lamp while only losing an insignificant amount of power. Secondly, the voltage spike created after a current goes into the inductor can be used to strike the arc in the lamp.
These ballasts/power supplies differ immensely in intricacy. Ballasts can be as simple as a small resistor for lamp or as complicated as computerized electronic ballasts often used for fluorescent lamps. Electronic ballasts/power supplies such as an electronic lamp ballast utilizes electronic circuitry to power HID lamps. They have the ability to affect the frequency of a power source.
Ballasts are also sometimes used to regulate the current through light-emitting diodes (LED). Even though, LEDs are positive resistance devices they arenâ??t able to regulate a strong current such as a power supplies like ballasts can.
The reason why a resistor isnâ??t as commonly used as ballasts/power supplies is because a significant amount of power would be lost with a resistor.
