Yes, but you should add a bleed resistor in parallel to a motor run cap if you want to use it for a hid ballast to drain the cap when its not in use, this is to avoid dangerous voltages remaining in the cap, and remove the potential for electrocution

In what type of situations we use the capacitor in between primary and secondary winding of transformer?

HID lights is where I have seen that application although I do not understand why it is put there, instead of parallel with the load.


Is there a direction of current with an Axial Capacitor?

Absolutely. The end of the body of the capacitor that has a radial indentation (like it was crimped) is the positive end. The manufacturers also color coat the ends, depending on the size of the capacitor. The black is the positive and the silver is negative. If you are doing an in-line installation (HID headlight kit, stereo, etc.), put the negative end of the capacitor where the source of current is coming from and the the positive end where it needs to go to. If the polarity is reversed, you may only get a momentary blip of power and then nothing at all. Just reverse the installation to correct it. Hope this helps. - mn1225

Do you need a ballast for every type of HID bulb?

All high-intensity discharge (HID) bulbs, and all fluorescent bulbs, require a ballast, which is a device that limits current. It can raise the voltage and/or heat the bulb cathodes.


What is the difference between a transformer and a ballast?

A transformer is an electrical device that changes the voltage of alternating current (AC) electricity, either stepping it up or down while maintaining the same frequency. In contrast, a ballast is used primarily in fluorescent and HID lighting systems to regulate the current flowing through the lamp, providing the necessary starting voltage and stabilizing the current during operation. While transformers are generally used for voltage conversion in various applications, ballasts are specifically designed for lighting control.

What is the HID Flashlight?

HID means High Intensity Discharge and is a modern form of lighting in which a compact arc is used as the source of light. They are more efficient that halide lamps.

How do you know the wattage needed on HID replacement bulbs?

The wattage depends on the size of the growing area. It also depends on whether HID is the main source of light or if it supplements sunlight. And it also depends on the types of plants. 150/175 watts if HID lights 2'x2' growing area, and HID and sun light 3'x3' 250 watts if HID 3'x3', HID and sun 4'x4' 400/430 watts if HID 4'x4', HID and sun 6'x6' 600 watts if HID 6'x6', HID and sun 8'x8' 1000 watts if HID 8'x8', HID and sun 10'x10'

What is hid in light s stand for?

HID in "HID lights" stands for High Intensity Discharge. It refers to a type of electrical gas-discharge light that produces light through an electric arc between tungsten electrodes housed inside a translucent or transparent fused quartz or fused alumina arc tube.


Is 6000K HID lights legal in California How about 8000K?

From what i understand, HID kits are illegal unless you have a projector installed on your car so it controls the light output of the HID's. Projectors spread the light evenly and have a cut off point which don't blind on coming drivers. Don't just install the hid kit, replace your headlights with projects =)

Can a HID bulb work in a standard light socket?

No. An hid bulb has a transformer (ballast) that produces a certain voltage needed to fire the gas in that lamp.

Do 2003 350Z have hid lights?

Yes, but the HID low beam headlight on the 2003 model was an option offered at time of original purchase of the car. However, one can add an aftermarket HID light conversion kit to a non-HID 350z after doing some research.
