Fluorescent DC Ballast

Engineering manufactures two basic types of DC inverter ballasts ... Instant Start (IS) and Rapid Start (RS). Both types utilize a high efficiency, two (2) IQsistor, push-pull switching inverter to change the low voltage DC source into high voltage, sinusoidal AC power (20-30khz) to start and operate the fluorescent lamp. The standard instant start is inherently more efficient since the ballast output voltage is sufficient to start the lamp instantly and the lamp cathodes are not continuously supplied with power to keep them heated. The optional rapid start version is available for better starting of the lamps when ambient temperatures are less than 50°F (10°C).

standard inverter ballasts operate preheat compact, rapid start, and instant start lamps. The rapid start and instant start lamps are operated in the instant start mode. Instant start is inherently more efficient since the ballast output voltage is sufficient to start the lamp, and the lamp cathodes are not continuously supplied with power to keep them heated. Rapid start ballasts are offered on some models as an option for better starting of the lamps when ambient temperatures are less than 50°F (10°C) or when the lamps are cycled on and off continuously. The ballast topology utilizes an efficient two (2) IQsistor, push-pull inverter to change the low voltage DC source into high voltage, sinusoidal AC power (20–30kHz) to start and operate the fluorescent lamp.

Low Wattage (Up to 13 watts)

High Wattage (14 to 40 watts)

We have 12 V, 24 V and 48 volts DC Ballasts: Energy efficient, long life, solid state electronic 12 VDC ballast, for use with single compact fluorescent lamps. 24 volt models are also available. 40W ballast is rapid start.

Low Pressure Sodium Ballast LPS 12 VDC Ballast, LPS 24 VDC Ballast, LPS 48 Ballast Volts DC:

The IQ-BAL® is an electronic inverter ballast that uses AC or DC from either a battery or power supply to produce high-frequency AC to start and operate fluorescent lamps. No other ballast or starter is required. Technically referred to as an inverter ballast, IQ-BALs® are designed for use in commercial and industrial applications with a broad range of fluorescent lamp sizes and types.
Special model IQ-BALs® can be designed to customer specifications for low-pressure sodium, germicidal and ultraviolet lamps, as well as for AC input applications.

Application
The IQ-BAL® is designed for use in commercial and industrial applications that require long product life and dependable operation. Examples include: vehicle lighting in ambulances, buses, commercial vans and subways; flicker-free light sources for photoelectric applications, inspection systems, scanning equipment and reprographic equipment; solar energy and energy efficient lighting from photovoltaic systems.

IQ-BAL® Advantages:

Eliminates the need for starters and other ballasts
Achieves high-frequency operation, eliminating audible noise
Provides much higher efficiency than standard AC ballasts
Allows operation of lamps at customized power levels
- lamps can be overdriven or underdriven
Eliminates 50/60 Hz flicker
Smaller in size and weight

Operation
The IQ-BAL® inverter ballast operates fluorescent lamps by converting DC power into high-frequency AC. Basic components of the circuit are:

Polarity Protection - Protects circuitry from being damaged if DC input is reversed
Inverter Oscillator - IQsforms DC power into high-frequency AC power
Step-Up IQsformer - increases AC voltage to the level needed to start and operate the lamp
Output Circuit - limits lamp current to desired level, regulating the lamp power, and allows for fail-safe inverter operation if the lamp fails or is removed

Power Source
The DC power source can be either a battery or power supply. If a power supply is used, it should be capable of delivering twice the input current rating of the model selected for proper starting. Any ripple in the DC power source will be introduced into the lamp output so if lamp flicker is a concern, the DC power input should be ripple-free. IQ-BALs® are also available for AC input applications in a wide range of voltages and operating frequencies.

Heat Sink
A heat sink is required for some IQ-BAL® models. Generally, a fixture large enough to hold the lamps provides adequate heat dissipation. However, any piece of metal capable of absorbing heat generated by the ballast can be used. Inadequate heat sinking can result in IQ-BAL® failure. Please consult the factory with specific questions regarding the use of heat sinks in your application.

Radio Frequency Interference
IQ-BALs® are designed to meet regulations set forth by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). However, this does not mean that the combination of the ballast, lamp, power source and wiring will meet FCC regulations. Caution should be used to prevent associated wiring from conducting and/or radiating energy. When the battery or power supply is remote from the ballast, a shielded supply line is recommended. Self-shielding is accomplished when the battery wiring and fixture are contained within a metal framework.

Model Selection

IQ-BALs® are categorized by series. Consider the following factors when selecting a model:

Input Voltage
Ballasts for AC or DC input are available. The voltages can vary over a range of -10% to +20% of nominal voltage. Models for input voltages not shown on the Series Selection Chart are available as custom models.

Inverter Ballast Lamp Loads
Series A	One 4 - 8 W T5 lamp
Series B	One 13 - 55 W lamp; Two 13 - 20 W lamps
Series C	One 75 - 165 W VHO lamp; Two 60 - 85 W VHO lamps operating from 48VDC
Series E	One 4 - 55 W or One 18 - 35 W LPS lamp or One 5 - 39 W twin-tube lamp; Two 4 - 20 W or 5 -18 W twin-tube lamp
Series J	One 60 - 215 W VHO or One 45 -110 W HO lamp Two 60 - 135 W VHO or 45 - 85 W HO lamps
Series K	One 4 - 40 W lamp; Two 4 - 20 W lamps
Series P	Two 110 - 160 W VHO lamps
Series S	One 16 - 32 W lamp

Starting Circuit
Two types of starting circuits are available. RAPID START (R) provides heater voltages to aid lamp starting and is used with preheat and rapid start lamps. This circuit is recommended for applications requiring frequent lamp starting. INSTANT START (F) produces a high voltage potential to start the lamp and may be used with preheat, rapid start and instant start lamps. This circuit is recommended for applications requiring infrequent lamp starting.

Lamps Operated
Models are available to operate preheat, rapid start and instant start fluorescent lamps from 4 through 215 watts. To choose the correct IQ-BAL® Series for your application, see the Series Selection Chart.

Customer Service
If the lamp type for your application is not listed on the Series Selection Chart, IQ-BALs® can be customized for specific applications such as:

Germicidal
High Output
Very High Output
Ultraviolet
Low-Pressure Sodium
Other AC or DC Input Voltages

In some cases, it is possible to arrange UL Listing for IQ-BALs®. Engineering fees for customization vary according to design needs.
