what is the working principle of tube light?

Answer Posted / tharanidharan a

LONG CYLINDRICAL NARROW GLASS TUBE CONSIST OF INERT GAS(ARGON)AND ARE COATED WITH PHOSPHORUS AND ELECTRODES ARE PLACED AT BOTH THE ENDS.

ELECTRODES ARE USED TO PRODUCE PREHEAT WHERE ELECTRONS STARTS TO MOVE AND COLLIDE WITH MERCURY(TRACED WITH ARGON GAS)WHICH PRODUCES UV RAY WHICH IS INVISIBLE TO SEE. SO THE PHOSPHOROUS IS USED TO MAKE THE INVISIBLE UV TO VISIBLE.

PRINCIPLE BEHIND IS TO CONVERT ELECTRICAL ENERGY TO LIGHT ENERGY.

What is the name of the winding from which the supply is taken for load connections?

in cvt,there are two windings,1a,1n and 2a,2n.in my one project i use only one winding i.e.1a,1n. the other winding is not in use, so i connect it in open delta and want to close it by ibsertibg thermal resistor. the output of cvt is 132kv/115/sqrt3. plesae tell me exact value of resistor, so i may close it to avoid the resonance phenomenin. send me answer on this email adress please. aetcon-po@aetcon.com
