why voltage rating not mention at HPSV or HPMV lamps?

Answer Posted / k.prakashchandra


High voltage is required to strike the arc inside lamp at
the starting point and once the arc is struck and lamp is
illuminated ,the voltage across the lamp is zero.It is the
ballast which has to control the current and it requires
voltage rating and not the lamp

I have made a 3 phase thyristor full bridge rectifier. But at the moment it is working only for the half bridge operation. Both the half bridges are on operation separately but when i put it into full bridge operation the oscilloscope output is zero. I rechecked that the pulses are correct for each thyristor. what could be the possible reason for this?

how we control automatic generator i'e with to supply (main supply and local generator) when the main supply was break to supply the local supply automatically to begin supplying power.I now this control circuit is the combination of contactor time delay contactor switch and overload relay .but my question is how we combine those component thank you
