A ballast serves to preheat the electrode. Both technologies perform the same tasks: ensuring the lamp electrode is sufficiently preheated. for which two basic technologies are in current use: magnetic (inductive) ballasts. The inductive resistance of the ballast then keeps the lamp's operating current within permissible limits. once the starter contact has been made the preheat current flows through the lamp electrodes and causes them to heat up. a magnetic ballast combined with an ignitor provides the ignition voltage pulses required to ignite the lamp and then limits the operating current. For these lamps. also called inductors. The generation of ignition voltage pulses is determined by various ignition methods. Superimposed ignitors generate the ignition voltage in the device itself whereas pulse ignitors produce the requisite voltage in combination with the ballast. which must be adequately insulated against the high-voltage ignition pulses. Ballasts and Circuits When connected to a supply network system. discharge lamps – owing to their unstable behaviour – require a ballast to stabilise the operating point. The electrodes of a high-pressure discharge lamp do not need to be preheated. the ballast generates a sufficiently high inductive voltage to ignite the lamp once the electrodes have preheated. In the case of fluorescent lamps. and electronic ballasts. whereby magnetic ballasts are not sensitive to external overloads. providing the necessary voltage to ignite the lamp possibly with the help of a starter or ignitor and keeping the lamp current within prescribed limits. When the starter contact is interrupted. ensure a long service life and suitable for universal use. The main advantages of electronic ballasts be seen in their cost-effectiveness and greater convenience of operation. The simplest and most robust operating method for fluorescent lamps involves an inductive ballast plus a starter or an ignitor for high-pressure discharge lamps.1. is also taken up from the power supply network in addition to real power. Power utility companies therefore require an increase of the power factor to values of over 0. parallel compensation can be subject to limitations when using audiofrequency ripple control pulses if the system operates with a connected rating of over 5 kVA and ripple control frequencies of over 300 Hz are used. The nominal voltage of a series capacitor is thus higher than mains voltage. Compensation of Idle Current When using magnetic ballasts a phase shift occurs between the mains voltage and the current drawn. Only one capacitor providing sufficient capacitance is needed for luminaires with several lamps. which does not boost the efficiency of the lighting unit. The requirements placed on parallel capacitors are clearly lower than those for series capacitors. magnetic ballasts and starters An advantage of the dual circuit is that it prevents the radiated light from flickering.7 with inductive circuits. This phase shift is expressed by the power factor l. the lamp in the capacitor branch of the dual circuit operates with a higher current and thus also with a higher rating.85 for systems exceeding a certain size (usually upwards of 250 W per external conductor). which generally ranges between a value of 0. Please note that series resonance between the ballast and the capacitor leads to a series capacitor operating at higher-thanmains voltage.95.1 Compensation using Series Capacitors Series compensation employs a so-called dual circuit (two fluorescent lamp circuits connected in parallel). As a result of this phase shift. Series capacitors have to meet very high technical requirements. Compensation capacitors are used to counteract reactive current (increased power factor) and are basically either connected in parallel or in series. Series capacitors have to meet very high technical requirements to suit various aspects like temperature.2 Parallel Compensation During parallel compensation. power loss is also higher in the circuit branch with the capacitor.3 and 0. etc. reactive current. overcompensates the inductive reactive current to such an extent that it covers the reactive current of both ballasts. This goes hand in hand with substantial technical. 2. The respective power utility company should be consulted for advice in such cases. Apart from differences in brightness. nominal voltage. whose power factor is generally in the region of 0. which can lead to a higher lamp rating (up to 14% increase) and a reduction of the lamp service lifetime (up to 20% shorter). This type of circuit is only used with fluorescent lamps. each lamp circuit is assigned a capacitor connected in parallel to the mains. 4 . tolerances of the capacitance values.3 and 0. As series capacitors are dimensioned for nominal-voltage and ballast tolerances. Power factor values range between 0. whereby the capacitor. 2. ecological and economic disadvantages.2. However. Parallel compensation does not affect current flow through a discharge lamp. A little known fact is that a so-called capacitive lamp circuit operates with a high current. Compensation capacitors are not required when using electronic ballasts.7 with inductive circuits. which is connected in a branch of the circuit. Figure 4 Series compensation in a branch of the dual circuit with a series capacitor. Figure 6 Parallel compensation of a high-pressure discharge lamp circuit with a superimposed ignitor Figure 7 Parallel compensation of a high-pressure discharge lamp circuit with a pulse ignitor 5 . As defined by the directive (European Standard EN 50294 governing the measurement of total power consumption). Advantages of parallel compensation for fluorescent lamp circuits: • no additional noise suppression capacitor needed • longer lamp service lifetime due to improved preheating • lower lamp replacement and disposal costs • longer service lifetime of lamp components due to lower thermal load • quicker start • energy savings due to lower system rating Figure 5 Parallel compensation of a fluorescent lamp circuit 2. Experience has shown that this increased power consumption often means devices fall in the directive's "banned" category. It is therefore strongly advised that due consideration be given to the elevated power consumption values common to using series capacitors for compensation purposes. If the system rating of the capacitive circuit containing the lamps and ballasts is then determined in line with the above definition. rating increases of up to 14% will become apparent in comparison to operation without a series capacitor. a series capacitor is considered to be a part of the ballast.Parallel compensation is used in fluorescent lamp and high-pressure discharge lamp circuits. the total power consumption of lamp-ballast circuits must not exceed certain limits.3 Ballast Directive 2000/55/EC and Compensation of Lighting Systems In accordance with the ballast directive 2000/55/EC. In addition to that. filled capacitors with an overpressure break-action mechanism should always be used. 3. 3. it would make sense to use a uniform method of compensation within the lighting industry. In critical ambient conditions (high humidity. thus excluding any risk when retailing luminaires within the directive's area of validity.1 Construction of Metallised Polypropylene Film Capacitors VS MKP capacitors contain a low-loss metallised polypropylene film dielectric. high-pressure sodium vapour lamps and metal halide lamps with a ceramic discharge tube) in 50 Hz and 60 Hz networks. metal-coated on one side . this has become the accepted method in the last few years. if the workload and power supply conditions are unknown as well as in situations that demand increased attention to safety. hermetically sealed. The contacts at either end of the capacitor elements are created by spraying on a layer of metal and thus guarantee a high current carrying capacity as well as a lowinductive connection between the terminals and the elements. Partial discharge effects only play a lesser role with capacitors with a nominal voltage of under 280 V so that these devices do not need to be filled. high-pressure mercury vapour lamps. Metallised Polypropylene Film Capacitors Metallised polypropylene film capacitors are designed to compensate the inductive idle current drawn by discharge lamps (fluorescent lamps.85 as required by power utility companies.4 Uniform Compensation Method In view of the increasing exchange of goods on the European and international markets. parallel compensation is now being given increasing preference in these regions. filled capacitors with an overpressure break-action mechanism should always be used Parallel compensation has become the accepted method in the last few years. too. hermetically sealed. While series compensation has been in common use in German-speaking countries up to now. All VS metallised polypropylene film capacitors are absolutely free of PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls). This protects the elements from environmental influences and reduces partial discharge. As parallel compensation offers substantial advantages.2. In critical ambient conditions. which is produced by vapour-depositing a thin layer of zinc and aluminium or pure aluminium onto one side of the polypropylene film. which contributes to a long service lifetime and stable capacitance. Compensation capacitors help to increase the power factor to values of over 0. All Vossloh-Schwabe compensation capacitors (series and parallel) for luminaires feature a metallised polypropylene film dielectric. various European industrial associations recommend making parallel compensation the sole method of choice to ensure the limits specified by the ballast directive are safely observed. Winding Front contact layer Non-metallized strip MKP 6 Polypropylene film. aggressive atmospheres. high temperatures). All capacitors with a nominal voltage upwards of 280 V are filled with oil or resin after the coils have been inserted and then hermetically sealed. the dis -charge resistor of both capacitor families must be capable of reducing capacitor voltage to a value of under 50 V within of 60 seconds. • Type B capacitors are defined as: "Self-healing capacitors for series connection in lighting circuits or self-healing parallel capacitors.2 Capacitors with an Automatic Cut-Out. This type of overpressure-protected capacitor with contact breaker is also referred to as a flame.VS MKP capacitors feature a self-healing dielectric. the wire ruptures at a predetermined breaking point. the metal vapour is pushed outwards away from the centre of the site within the space of just a few microseconds. This creates a coating-free corona around the breakdown site that completely isolates it and means the capacitor remains fully functional during a dielectric breakdown.g. In order to prevent the capacitor casing from exploding in such cases.and explosion-proof capacitor with a break-action mechanism. • Type A capacitors are defined as: "Self-healing parallel capacitors. In the event of a dielectric breakdown in the coil (short circuit). Therefore "self-healing" must not be confused with "failsafe". without an (overpressure) break-action mechanism in the event of failure". due to overload thermal or excessive voltages or at the end of the capacitor's service lifetime. e. The integrated discharge resistor of a capacitor must be capable of reducing capacitor voltage to a value of under 50 V in 60 seconds. This bears the risk of a nonhealing breakdown with a permanent short circuit. Compensation capacitors are divided into two type families (A and B) in accordance with IEC 61048 A2. which irreversibly interrupts the current. hermetically sealed capacitors in accordance with IEC 61048 A2 (Type B capacitors) are fitted with an overpressure break-action mechanism. If excess pressure builds up within these capacitors. However. as a result of frequent self-healing caused by overloading (voltage. 8 mm breaking point 7 . the metal coating vaporises around the breakdown site owing to the high temperature of the transient arc that is produced. Contact breaker max. Type B capacitors with a break-action mechanism are available in an aluminium casing.

They are referred to as unsecured capacitors. As a result. secured Type B Capacitors in accordance with IEC 61048 A2 Self-healing capacitors do not require short-circuit protection for normal operation as they automatically regenerate after a dielectric breakdown. secured capacitors. 3. In accordance with the standard. Owing to the excess pressure generated during such a breakdown. These are referred to as hermetically sealed. overpressure can build up in the capacitor (due to the decomposition products of the vaporised polypropylene). "Self-healing" must not be confused with "failsafe". 3 Capacitors without a BreakAction Mechanism. In 99% of all the rare cases of critical capacitor failure. which is in turn always accompanied by an increase in the winding temperature. However. Type A Capacitors in accordance with IEC 61048 A2 IEC 61048 A2-compliant Type A capacitors are also self-healing and require no short-circuit protection for normal operation. Luminaires should feature protection against secondary damage inside and outside the luminaire in the event of a defect. They are tested in accordance with EN 61048 A2 and comply with Type A requirements. By disconnecting the device from the mains. in rare cases these capacitors can still develop erratic behaviour due to overloading or at the end of the device's service lifetime. Type A capacitors are not fitted with a specific failsafe mechanism as prescribed by the standards for Type B capacitors. Vossloh-Schwabe recommends that preference be given to Type A capacitors with a thermal fuse as a matter of course for reasons of safety. in contrast to Type B capacitors.3. VS recommends that preference be given to Type A capacitors with a thermal fuse as a matter of course for reasons of safety. 8 . the fuse thus provides effective thermal protection in most cases of capacitor failure. Nevertheless. Type A capacitors should only be integrated into luminaires for operation in ambient conditions that are uncritical with regard to flammable materials. Even so. the requirements laid down in the standard for Type A capacitors. especially with regard to temperature and service lifetime tests. For that reason. Type A capacitors normally feature a plastic casing. this is preceded by a gradual increase in the loss factor. Special compound Casing Thermal element Type A capacitors should only be integrated into luminaires due for operation in uncritical ambient conditions. are designed to ensure a sufficient degree of device safety and availability provided the device was correctly installed and operated under calculable and known ambient operating conditions. Temperature-protected capacitors are a further development of Type A capacitors and are fitted with a thermal fuse that is triggered by overheating as a result of electrical or thermal overloading. unsecured. Excess temperatures cause the two wire ends of the element inside the fuse to melt into bead shapes that are fully isolated from each other by special insulation. The built-in thermal fuses or temperature switches are only triggered to interrupt the lamp circuit when maximum temperature limits are reached. caused by bulb blackening.4. a test voltage of 243. The rectifier effect can even cause substantially higher temperatures. etc. The best place to install a capacitor in a luminaire must be determined under these thermal conditions. The maximum permissible temperature at a capacitor's tc point (surface of the capacitor) must not be exceeded at these test voltages. If a luminaire is not marked to the contrary. 9 . in particular with high-pressure discharge lamps. capacitors installed in luminaires should remain well within the set temperature limits. it will have been designed for operation at an ambient temperature of 25° C. tc values can be exceeded by a maximum of 5 K. Apart from the normal effects associated with an ageing lamp. electronic ballasts or converters. A safe margin up to the maximum capacitor temperature is a further indicator of luminaire quality. components with a tc marking like capacitors. Operation under such circumstances exerts substantial thermal stress on the capacitor. Thus. The test voltage applied when reading the temperature at the tc point of a capacitor must equal 1.1 of IEC 60598-1 specifies the maximum permissible temperatures for luminaire components.8 V test voltage needs to be applied given a 230 V power supply and a 230 V ballast and a test voltage of 254. Ballasts and lamps. which is made up of its inherent heating. which therefore also includes the requirements placed on capacitors destined for installation in luminaires. To avoid critical temperatures lamps should therefore be exchanged at the first sign of having reached the end of their service lifetime. the rectifier effect and bulb blackening towards the end of the lamp's service lifetime can lead to a clear increase in temperature within the luminaire. Requirements for Installing Capacitors in Luminaires Luminaire safety is tested in accordance with the luminaire standard IEC 60598-1. which also take consideration of the ambient temperature when the luminaire is in use (application temperature). Table 12. in the latter case especially the regions around the lamp electrodes. like a drop in efficiency with higher lamp temperatures within the luminaire. In accordance with this table. can have an unfavourable effect on the capacitor's thermal load. Against this background in particular. are not uncommon and are still normal occurrences. Temperature readings at the capacitor within a luminaire are therefore also taken on the basis of this standard ambient temperature for luminaires. the ambient temperature and any heat possibly radiated by the lamp. When determining where to install a compensation capacitor in a luminaire (based on measurements of the thermal load) it must be remembered that the thermal balance within the luminaire can change as the lamp's rating will change in the course of its service lifetime. it will have been designed for operation at an ambient temperature of 25° C. Temperature increases of 10° C. Section 12 of IEC 60598-1 specifies endurance and temperature tests.4 V given a 240 V power supply. must comply with these tc values during lamp operation.06 times the nominal voltage. starters. Lamp manufacturers list the following signs of a lamp having reached the end of its service lifetime: • • • • major change in light colour major reduction in brightness cyclic starting behaviour failure to start If a luminaire is not marked to the contrary. The specified maximum temperature refers to the permissible temperature (tc point) at the surface of the capacitor. special attention needs to be paid to the capacitor's voltage and temperature.0 x Un 1. The following formula (as used for the figures in the table) can be used to calculate service lifetime in the event of excess voltage: Service lifetime at excess voltage = ( Nominal Voltage 9 Excess Voltage ) x Service lifetime at nominal voltage 5.3 x Un Service Lifetime 100 % 42 % 28 % 19 % 9% The table shows how sensitive capacitors are to excess voltage.2 x Un 1. However.1 x Un 1.Exceeding the nominal voltage of the capacitor is only permissible within the framework of the stipulated maximum values (in accordance with the standard): Excess Voltage 1. Next to the installation conditions.000 hours. The expected service lifetime will thus only attain 70% of its potential. in plastic casing capacitors are also available with a side clip. The specified humidity levels must not be exceeded. Capacitors must not be subjected to condensation. capacitors fitted with overpressure protection require clearance of at least 10 mm above the contacts so ensure the casing can expand unhindered if the contact breaker is triggered. even during storage as this also bears the risk of impairing the device's capacitance and shortening its service lifetime. In addition. This means that increasing the operating voltage of a capacitor rated for a nominal voltage of 250 V by just 10 V to 260 V will shorten its service lifetime by 30%. whereby IEC 61048 A2 provides for a permissible failure rate of 3% over the capacitor's service lifetime of 30. Exceeding either the nominal voltage or temperature will shorten the capacitor's service life. Capacitors must not be subjected to condensation. Practical Notes on Using Compensation Capacitors Capacitors can be installed any way up and are fixed using M8 screws or M12 base screws.15 x Un 1.

Taking account of permissible tolerances. Parallel capacitors without overpressure protection with a plastic or aluminium casing approx. The fire load of an MKP capacitor amounts to approx. practical experience has shown that some power supply networks can achieve voltages of more than 275 V for a variety of reasons (capacitive overload. 11 . voltages can range between 210 V and 264 V. The safety margin of a 250 V capacitor has long been exhausted as a result of deteriorating mains power quality. mains harmonics and high humidity levels all go to shorten the service lifetime of a capacitor. sudden load variations and mains supply problems. 6. Capacitor Type Parallel capacitors with overpressure protection Expected Service Lifetime (hrs) approx. There is a general increase in damage resulting from mains harmonics.1 Impact of Voltage Overloads Most luminaire capacitors rated for a nominal voltage of 250 V are operated at a nominal mains voltage of 230 V. In many European power supply regions it is therefore mandatory to fit larger compensation capacitors and central compensation systems with harmonic filter reactors in order to protect capacitors. excess operating voltages or high humidity levels and unduly high mains harmonics levels can also shorten a device's service lifetime or increase its failure rate. 50000 All of VosslohSchwabe's plastic capacitor casings are made of flameretardant materials.

Next to overheating. uncontrolled switching operations. etc. which far exceed the requirements of IEC 61048 A2. Any residual risk can be nearly completely eliminated by integrating a fuse into the electrical circuit to protect against overloading. • Luminaire Construction Construction to protect against external secondary damage in the event of capacitor damage • Place of Operation Special risks for luminaire components.g. quality and availability. e. 7. humidity. 12 . Often enough. The recommended capacitances for standard VS ballasts are also detailed in Section 8 of this information brochure. capacitors already come close to their thermal limits during normal operation. Application Notes on Luminaire Capacitors The capacitance required to compensate for the inductive reactive current of a magnetic ballast is specified by the ballast manufacturer and can be taken from the technical documentation of the ballast. If voltage overloads or increased mains harmonics are then added at the actual place of operation. Type A capacitors should also be fitted with an "emergency brake" of this kind. possibly chemical influences or radiation. outdoor luminaires. a capacitor can overheat and in the case of unsecured Type A capacitors can even catch fire as this type of capacitor is not disconnected from the mains when it reaches this critical overheating point. e.g. are unknown during the planning stage. this can be nearly completely eliminated by integrating a fuse into the electrical circuit to protect against overloading. in greenhouses. ensure a high degree of safety.3 Special Protective Measures against Voltage Overloads and Mains Harmonics The special conditions affecting the subsequent on-site operation of a lighting system. e.g. e. extreme humidity. The technical and constructive selection criteria for compensation capacitors for luminaires are: • Type of circuit Parallel/Series • Mains Voltage/Mains Conditions Consideration is taken of external influences like voltage overloads and mains harmonics • Thermal Load Due to inherent heating in the luminaire but also due to external influences at the place of installation • Environmental Influences Major temperature changes. Luminaire construction and on-site operational loading determine the resulting requirements and the risk potential. overloads and mains harmonics.

These measures. due to shock and impact in gymnasiums. The VS product range therefore includes a favourably priced Type A capacitor with a thermal fuse that has been shown to prevent the capacitor from overheating with a 99% degree of certainty and thus to exclude any danger to the environment. This constant rise in mains harmonics is particularly responsible for causing increasingly frequent problems with electrical appliances and components.

These devices can be provided with push-in as well as IDC terminals for automatic luminaire wiring. For functional and manufacturing reasons. Changes to the ballasts can lead to necessary changes in the capacitance values of the compensation capacitors. If there is any uncertainty as to loading conditions. In the event of a voltage overload or a defect. regardless of whether this occurs externally or internally. A Type B capacitor will thus always be the No. Vossloh-Schwabe's range mainly comprises capacitors suitable for parallel compensation circuits. Selection Tables for Capacitors The capacitance values assigned to the individual luminaires are detailed in the following tables. aluminium can capacitors (all Type B capacitors) cannot be provided with an ALF terminal or with a side clip. The range includes Type A parallel capacitors in plastic and aluminium casings with an integrated discharge resistor. Owing to the advantages of parallel compensation and the widespread use of this type of circuit. a Type B capacitor will be permanently disconnected from the mains. 8. whereby the capacitance values required to compensate reactive current are dependent on the induction values of the respective ballast.The above table can only sketch out the various factors and influences that must be taken into consideration when selecting a capacitor.
