Philips Fluorescent Lamps User manual

In theAsia Pacific region mains voltage fluctuation can
be a daily occurrence affecting the output of fluorescent
lamps and impeding ignition.The
EB - ECONOMY range of
electronic ballasts gives you back control over lighting
conditions.The range is designed to suit the spectrum
of rated mains voltages in the region – from 220-240V,
50 and/or 60Hz – and to handle mains voltage fluctuations
from 216-247V without affecting performance.Additionally,
the lamps will continue to operate well even if mains
voltage drops to 184V or rises to 264V.

EB-ECONOMY
Ballasts
for
fluorescent lamps

The EB - ECONOMY is even designed to the same mounting
size as electromagnetic ballasts,allowing for easy removal of
electromagnetic ballasts,starter and capacitors and their
replacement with the more advanced
EB - ECONOMY
electronic ballasts.When comfort, cost of installation and
operation,safety and reliability are key considerations,the
EB - ECONOMY is the answer.
The EB - ECONOMY range of electronic ballasts is in a class
of its own where cost is a key consideration but comfort and
quality are no less important.
Using up to 20% less energy than electromagnetic ballasts,
Philips
EB - ECONOMY electronic ballasts equal bottom line
savings,which makes them the smart choice in situations
that require a lighting system to balance comfort and
confidence with cost-efficiency.
The versatile
EB - ECONOMY is flexible enough to be used
with‘
TL ’,‘ TL ’ D and PL - L lamps and,designed to the highest
specifications,the
EB - ECONOMY complies with IEC 928
safety standards.Manufacture takes place in facilities certified
ISO 9001-compliant as a further assurance of safety and
reliability.
ISO 14001certification of the manufacturing process
gives customers the peace of mind that comes from knowing
the products they use are made in an environmentally
responsible way.
Lamp life is guaranteed by a crest factor of under 1.7 and
heating lamp electrodes during ignition.Even strong mains
voltage fluctuations cannot impede the comfortable flicker-
free operation of a lamp operating through an
EB - ECONOMY
electric ballast.The robust construction of the
EB - ECONOMY ,
including internal potting,also prevents interference from
moisture and dust.Lightweight, compact, cost-saving and
energy efficient, the Philips
EB - ECONOMY is an easy choice
to replace dated electromagnetic systems.
