Can a single pole switch replace a starter in a fluorescent lamp?
No, a starter must be used.
What is the function of starter holder?
nate
How will you test starter and choke in fluorescent tube?
You can use a wire instead of the starter to test the tubes .. I did it, it works !
Can you use compact fluorescent bulbs in garage door opener?
Yes, you can you use compact fluorescent bulbs in a garage door opener's lamp holder.
How many types of starter are there for fluorescent bulbs?
I only know of ONE type but there are about 5 sizes There are programmable, rapid and preheat fluorescent starters.
Can a single pole switch replace a starter in fluorescent lamps?
No, a switch is used to control the circuit voltage that is applied to the fixture for turning the fixture on and off. The starter in the fluorescent fixture is used to start the current flowing through the filaments in the fixture's tubes. After a specific time, the starter heats up the circuit is opened and the current then flows through the fluorescent tubes.
Is there a shim in between the starter and the bolt holder on and 1989 Ford Ranger?
No there is not a shim between the starter and the bolt holder unless someone has put the wrong starter on and had to rig it up to make it engage properly.
What would be the effect on the circuit should the starter be taken out the lamp is started?
Once started the fluorescent tube no longer needs the starter. In fact starters are designed to electrically "remove" themselves from the circuit when the fluorescent tube is conducting.
What is the necessity of the starter in fluorescent lamp?
When line voltage is applied across the starter, it closes a circuit, connecting the filaments at the ends of the bulb in series so they heat up. Once the Mercury in the lamp is vaporized, the starter breaks the filament circuit, and the ballast provides a voltage pulse to start the current flow down the length of the tube, lighting it. While the bulb is lighted, the voltage across the starter is low and it does not energize the filaments. When you see a fluorescent lamp flashing, the bulb is worn out and the starter keeps vainly trying to start it. Eventually the starter will wear out and will need to be replaced also. Newer fluorescent fixtures have lamps and ballasts that do not require a starter.

Can you use S10 in S2 starter?
An S2 starter is used when wiring 2 fluorescent tubes in series while S10 is used on a single tube

Once started the fluorescent tube no longer needs the starter. In fact starters are designed to electrically "remove" themselves from the circuit when the fluorescent tube is conducting.
