Abstract
Summary. The paper discusses the methodology for energy assessment of the operating efficiency of the “gasdischarge lamp + ballast” set.
Introduction. The problem of energy saving is the most important in various sectors of the agro-industrial complex. This especially applies to optical electrical technologies. Gas-discharge lamps (GL) have long occupied their niche in lighting and irradiation installations used in various energy technology processes. As elements of an electrical circuit, GLs have a number of features that require consideration when analyzing and calculating circuits based on them.
Object of the study is the operating patterns of the GL type LB-40 when working with ballasts of various types.
The aim is to adapt the method of analyzing non-sinusoidal alternating current circuits for its use in irradiation installations with GL to identify energy saving reserves.
Materials and methods. We used an electrical circuit for sequential connection of a GL and ballast of various types: active, for which resistance was used; inductive (we took ballasts of various brands), capacitive. A sinusoidal mains voltage was supplied to the input of the circuit. The instantaneous values of the operating current and voltage on the GL were recorded using an C1-82 oscilloscope.
Results and conclusions. The resulting oscillograms of current and voltage showed a large non-sinusoidality of the current flowing through the GL with resistive and capacitive ballast. As a consequence, large pulsations of the current are observed. For inductive ballasts of two types, ABI and UBI, the current amplitude coefficient takes the value of 1.38 relative units, which is acceptable. The energy intensity of these types of ballast is 1.38 and 1.21 rel. units. respectively. The efficiency of replacing ABI ballast with UBI as an energy-saving measure is 15%.
