The National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA), on behalf of the American National Standard Lighting Group (ANSLG) published ANSI ANSLG C82.14-2006 - American National Standard for Lamp Ballasts - Low-Frequency Square Wave Electronic Ballasts for Metal Halide Lamps.
This standard provides specifications for and operating characteristics of low frequency square wave electronic ballasts for metal halide lamps.
Electronic ballasts are devices that use semiconductors to control lamp starting and operation.
The ballasts operate from multiple supply sources of 600V maximum at a frequency of 60 hertz.
The output frequency of electronic ballasts may be of some frequency other than 60 hertz.
ANSI ANSLG C82.14-2006 only covers lamp operating current frequencies from greater than 60 hertz up to 400 hertz (some exclusionary frequency ranges may apply).
