IGNITER

Igniting the gas lamp requires applying a spark voltage in a particular range. High-pressure sodium vapor lamp (HS) ‚ metal halide lamp (HI) and ceramic discharge metal halide lamp (C-HI) are started by applying impulses with a range far greater than the nominal supply voltage.  This impulse voltage is generated by the igniter.

Applying impulse voltages with amplitude, waveform and optimal position compared with the supply voltage phase, must be continued by the igniter until the lamp is fully started and stable.

PULSE IGNITER SYSTEM

The pulse igniter system relies on the inductive property of the lamp ballast. Therefore, the ballast must also be resistant to impulse voltages of igniter. Observing proper air clearances and creepage distances with high energy igniter pulses is another important point.

 SOFT START

The igniters manufactured by Rahshad Electric Company with optimal performance provide the lighting conditions of the gas lamp at the same time with a minimum of flicker. Resistance to severe load changes due to wide range of changes in output voltage and current, especially in the case of restarting the lamp or at the moment of electrical discharge in the gas, is a desirable starting characteristic. Optimal starting process, in addition to protecting the igniter, brings a long life to the lamp.
