Essentially, the ballast acts as a power source, providing the correct electrical conditions for the UV lamp to function properly.
A UV ballast is crucial for operating UV lamps. It manages the electrical conditions needed for a UV lamp to start and run effectively, including providing a high initial voltage to ignite the lamp, and then regulating the voltage and current to ensure the stable operation of the Germicidal UV Lamp. This is essential for applications like disinfection and other industrial processes.
*Please note that all our Ultra Violet (UV) Ballasts are designed to fit Germicidal UV Lamps (Bulbs) with 4 pins on one side, and no pins on the other side of the lamp. These ballasts will not fit on the Germicidal UV light lamp, with two pins on either side of the lamp.
