why voltage rating not mention at HPSV or HPMV lamps?..

Answer / 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

we all know that in transformer, voltage and current are inversely related i.e. Vp/Vs= Is/Ip....so in standard CT..we have a ratio of 200/5...that means our voltage should increase by ratio of 40..althoug that is not the case...because that requires high insulation level.and pratically not feasible......can anybody clarify my ques.......thanx
