Energy Efficiency Regulations, 2016

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)
