Hid Lamp Ballast Tester

Hid bulbs are connected to ballasts that control the voltage and current frequency to ensure that the bulb gets the right amount power.

Hid lamp ballast tester.

A ballast serves as a lamp starter and regulates power to the light. This unit can test the ballast gear of hps mh pulse start mh and mercury vapor lighting fixture. Electronic ballast tester is compatible with h i d. Check for the high voltage side of the tombstones for continuity.

Metal halide bulbs high pressure sodium bulbs and mercury lamps make up the family of high intensity discharge hid lighting. The tester is unconditionally guaranteed for 3 years. Check the capacitor with an ohmmeter set to the highest resistance scale if the meter indicates a very low resistance then gradually increases the capacitor does not require replacement.

These bulbs produce a bright light that is perfect for nighttime vision. The primary way of determining the problems of the ballast is by testing it and for this test to be carried out you would need a multimeter. Hid light fixture tester first and only of its kind.

The unit checks the open circuit voltage of the ballast ocv along with the starting pulse voltage hid starter test. The hid ignitor boosts voltage coming from the ballast to around 15 000 to 25 000 volts to jump the air gap between the two electrodes and light the arc. The hid light fixture tester is packaged in an durable case and is a stock item usually shipped same day of order. The ballast assembly consists of a transformer capacitor and lamp starter sized for the specific type of lamp.
