250W HPS Magnetic Ballast (Free Shipping)

A line-frequency ballasts with an inductor used to provide the proper starting and operating electrical condition to power a high intensity discharge (HID) lamp, fluorescent lamp, and others, is usually known as a Magnetic Ballast. The inductive ballast has two benefits:
1. Its reactance limits the power available to the lamp with only minimal power losses in the inductor
2. The voltage spike produced when current through the inductor is rapidly interrupted is used in some circuits to first strike the arc in the lamp.
In growing practice, the lamp is powered by an AC voltage source in series with an inductive "ballast" in order to supply a nearly constant current to the lamp, rather than a constant voltage, thus assuring stable operation. The ballast is usually inductive rather than simply being resistive to minimize resistive losses. Because the lamp effectively extinguishes at each zero-current point in the AC cycle, the inductive ballast assists in the reignition by providing a voltage spike at the zero-current point.
