This seems like a question from an electrical course, and is probably best answered by your course materials. It's your test question, not ours, and there won't always be someone else to ask for the answer. Earn your diploma.

Can higher voltage burn the fluorescent bulbs?

it all depends on the voltage the light bulb can sustain.


How many volts should I be reading at a fluorescent bulb?

The voltage present on the secondary side of the ballast (transformer) varies as to the type of fluorescent tube or bulb that is in the fixture. The voltage will always be higher that the applied line voltage that supplies the ballast.If the fluorescent bulb screws into a lamp type of fixture, then there is no way to measure the voltage at the bulb as the tube and ballast are a combined sealed unit.


What is a good replacement for overhead fluorescent lights?

The best replacement is a new fluorescent light tube of the right voltage and power.


How many volts needed to run a fluorescent light?

The voltage of your area is what determines the operating voltage of all equipment. Equipment from other countries usually has to use a transformer to get the correct voltage. The voltage on a fluorescent fixture is printed on the ballast of the fixture. See if the voltage on the ballast matches the supply voltage of the system that you are going to use to operate the fixture.


What is the difference between S2 and s10 fluorescent tube starter?

- S2 starters for ignition of low-voltage fluorescent TL lamps and series/single application in high voltage for lower wattages (4 - 22W) - S10 starters for ignition of high voltage fluorescent TL lamps for wide range of wattages (4 - 65W)


What is the voltage of fluorescent light bulbs?

Fluorescent light bulbs can not be connected to a constant voltage power supply, or they will self destruct. They must use a ballast in order for this not happening. This way they can operate under 430 mA, with a drop of 100 volts. The larger the bulb, the more voltage needed (going all the way up to 1.5 A).


Why does a fluorescent fixture start with high voltage but shut off at low voltage?

Basically it takes a higher current to start a fluorescent lamp that it does to sustain the arc. (It's higher current, not voltage. The voltage is constant.) The ballast regulates the current flow through the lamp. Removing the voltage from devices requiring power will turn any device off.


What is the voltage need for fluorescence lamp?

Fluorescent fixtures can be used with a variety of voltages.


How many amperes does a 20 watt compact fluorescent lamp draw?

To answer this question the voltage has to be given. I = W/E. Amps = Watts/Voltage.


What is a pin based fluorescent light fixture?

A pin based fluorescent light fixture is the type of fixture that takes fluorescent tubes. On each end of the fluorescent tubes there are contact pins. These pins are used to hold the tube in the fixture and to supply the voltage to the tube from the fixture's ballast.


How many volts does a fluorescent light bulb need?

A fluorescent light bulb typically operates on a voltage range of 100-277 volts, depending on the specific model and design. The most common standard voltage for residential use in the United States is 120 volts.


How you can calculate the ampere for fluorescent lamp with use VA?

To calculate the amperes for a fluorescent lamp using VA (volt-ampere), you can divide the VA rating by the voltage of the lamp. The formula is: Amperes = VA / Voltage. For example, if a fluorescent lamp has a VA rating of 60 VA and operates at 120 volts, the amperes would be 0.5A (60 VA / 120V).
