Advance Mark V RIC-140-TP Electronic fluorescent lamp ballast (1991)

A look at what I believe to be Advance Transformer's first electronic fluorescent lamp ballast, introduced in 1989, two years before Motorola introduced their own electronic ballasts, which we looked at in a previous video. Ballast is demonstrated with 40 and 34 watt F40T12 lamps, as well as F32T8 lamps. Preheat design and lamp power are analyzed. *** Follow me on Mastodon: https://tech.lgbt/@themaritimegirl My videos are made possible in part by support via Patreon: https://patreon.com/themaritimegirl
