How do you change operating voltage of metal halide lamp from 240 to 120?
The lamp needs to be rated for the voltage applied to it. The fixture in which the lamp is installed also needs to be rated for the voltage. So, it is not a matter of changing the lamp, it is a matter of having the fixture and lamp that are properly rated for the voltage that you are applying to it.
Does a mercury vapour lamp need a ballast or ignitor?
Yes, a mercury vapor lamp requires both a ballast and an ignitor to operate properly. The ballast regulates the electricity flow to the lamp, while the ignitor is needed to initially start the lamp.
Why you use mercury lamp instead of ordinary light or sodium lamp in constant deviation?
Mercury lamps are chosen for constant deviation spectrophotometry because they emit strong lines at characteristic wavelengths, making them suitable for calibration purposes. The narrow spectral lines produced by mercury lamps help in accurately determining the deviation and dispersion properties of the spectrometer. Sodium lamps, on the other hand, have broader emission lines which can affect the precision of the measurements in constant deviation spectrophotometry.
What is the current on a 60w fluorescent lamp?
To find the current drawn by a 60-watt fluorescent lamp, you can use the formula: current (I) = power (P) / voltage (V). Assuming the lamp operates at a standard voltage of 120 volts, the current would be approximately 0.5 amps (60W / 120V = 0.5A). If the lamp operates at a different voltage, simply adjust the calculation accordingly.
What do you mean by a 5 volt lamp?
lamp works on power of volt
What is operating voltage of mercury lamp?
The operating voltage of a mercury lamp typically ranges from 100 to 300 volts, depending on the specific type and size of the lamp.
Why do high pressure mercury lamps go off during heavy load starting on a ship?
Heavy loading on a distribution panelboard that feeds a mercury vapour lamp circuit can cause the circuit's voltage to drop. If the voltage drops below the lamps firing threshold the lamp will go out. The lamp will not re ignite until the lamp cools down. Sometimes this can take from three to five minutes before the lamp comes on again.
What type gas use in mercury lamp?
It is a gas discharge lamp which uses mercury in excited states.
Can you use a sodium lamp in a mercury ballast?
No you can't. You can use a metal halide lamp of the exact wattage of the original mercury lamp. You cannot vary on wattage at all.
How does changing voltage across a lamp affect the power consumption of the lamp?
because it does!
What is the optimal mercury vapor temperature for efficient operation of a mercury vapor lamp?
The optimal mercury vapor temperature for efficient operation of a mercury vapor lamp is around 700 degrees Celsius.
How do you change operating voltage of metal halide lamp from 240 to 120?
The lamp needs to be rated for the voltage applied to it. The fixture in which the lamp is installed also needs to be rated for the voltage. So, it is not a matter of changing the lamp, it is a matter of having the fixture and lamp that are properly rated for the voltage that you are applying to it.
In a circuit of two lamps in parallel if there is a voltage of 6 V across one lamp what is the voltage across the other lamp?
6 Volts.
What happen to lamp if over voltage?
A lamp will only operate at its rated power if it is subjected to its rated voltage. Increase that voltage will increase the power of the lamp -in other words, it will operate more brightly. This is how 'photoflood' lamps operate -they are deliberately designed to operate at overvoltage. Of course, this reduces the life of the lamp.
Is the mercury lamp consisting mercury element?
Yes, but in minute amount
Why do the voltage drops of an inductor and a lamp in a series ac circuit not equal the applied voltage?
The voltage is greater than the applied voltage, why?
Does a mercury vapour lamp need a ballast or ignitor?
Yes, a mercury vapor lamp requires both a ballast and an ignitor to operate properly. The ballast regulates the electricity flow to the lamp, while the ignitor is needed to initially start the lamp.
