Marginal note:Definitions

453 The following definitions apply in this Subdivision.

CSA C863-16

CSA C863-16 means the CSA standard CAN/CSA C863-16 entitled Energy efficiency of high-intensity discharge (HID) and low-pressure sodium (LPS) lamp ballasts. (CSA C863-16)

electronic ballast

electronic ballast means a ballast that is controlled by a transistor, thyristor or other active electronic component and in which impedance is provided by capacitive or inductive reactance. (ballast électronique)

magnetic-regulated lamp ballast

magnetic-regulated lamp ballast means a ballast that operates at a lagging high power factor and that has

• (a) three coils;

• (b) isolated secondary windings; and

• (c) a constant-voltage regulator that, in conjunction with capacitive reactance, provides power factor correction and lamp wattage regulation. (ballast à régulation magnétique)

metal halide lamp ballast

metal halide lamp ballast means a device that is used to obtain the voltage, current and waveform necessary for starting and operating a metal halide lamp that has a nominal power of at least 50 W but not more than 1 000 W. It does not include any of the following:

• (a) a magnetic-regulated lamp ballast;

• (b) a replacement metal halide lamp ballast; or

• (c) an electronic ballast that is designed for a nominal voltage of 480 V or to operate a lamp at an output frequency of 1000 Hz or more. (ballast pour lampes aux halogénures métalliques)

replacement metal halide lamp ballast

replacement metal halide lamp ballast means a ballast that is marketed for use as replacement ballast for a metal halide luminaire installation and that is sold in a package of 10 or fewer. (ballast pour lampes aux halogénures métalliques de remplacement)

10 C.F.R. §431.324

10 C.F.R. §431.324 means section 431.324 of Subpart S, Part 431 of Title 10 to the United States Code of Federal Regulations, as amended from time to time. (10 C.F.R. §431.324)
