Abstract :
This paper documents testing performed to determine the sensitivity of currently available electronic lighting ballasts for fluorescent lighting to surges which may be created both internal and external to a users facility. The ability of surge protective devices to protect these ballasts from surges is also demonstrated through tests documented in this paper.
