Abstract
Although the most important task of the ballast is to stabilise the discharge, there are many additional requirements that may be made. For example, the ballast must provide the correct conditions for the starting of the lamp, with or without the help of a starter. Requirements may, more-over, be made as to the power factor, current distortion, impedance for audio frequencies used in mains-borne signalling systems, etc.
