We need tube light ballast starter and fluorescent light holders to make wiring connection. The current causes the starters contacts to heat up and open thus interrupting the flow of current.

Tubelight wiring with starter. The starter is a switch that is normally open that closes a few seconds after power is applied. How to install a single tubelight with electromagnetic ballast. Since the lighted fluorescent tube has a low resistance the ballast now serves as a current limiter. A glow starter or commonly known as starter is used in the tube light circuit to provide an initial current to filaments of the tube light. No lumen output from the lamp. In a non electronic ballast fluorescent light.
Here is one example of a tube light fixture consisting of a large heavy square choke or ballast and a small cylindrical starter lets try to understand how the whole system works. No discharge happens initially ie. Double tube light circuit diagram tube light circuit. A fluorescent tube has a filament at each end just like the filament in an incandescent bulb but very. Working principle of tube light. Tube light wiring diagram.
The starter is a small neon glow up lamp that contains a fixed contact a bimetallic strip and a small capacitor. The choke is in fact a large. The fluorescent tube has two filaments with four terminals the starter is connected between two filaments the ballast is connected between main ac supply and one filament in tube light. As no starter is used in the case of electronic ballast application the wiring diagram is slightly different. When we connect the ac supply voltage to the circuit then the starter act like short circuited and current flow through those filament located at the first and second end of the tube light and the filament generate heat and it ionized the gas mercury vapor in the fluorescent tube lamp. Electronic ballast has six ports two ports out of six ports are for the input and the remaining four ports are for output ports.
The starter which is simply a timed switch allows current to flow through the filaments at the ends of the tube. Please refer to the circuit diagram on the right as you read the following points. When the switch is on full voltage will come across the tube light through ballast and fluorescent lamp starter. The starter is like a key of fluorescent light because it is used to light up the tube. Wiring of flourescent lights.
