what is the use of starter in tube light?and what it
contains
Answer Posted / abdul nazir
Starter is used to help the choke to produce "self
induction". I will explain little briefly.
initially we need 1000v to start the tubelight,so one chohe
was connected series between the tubelight & other end of
the tube light was connected with starter.
In this starter inside it contains one bimetal strip(open
position)& parallel connected with one capacitor,inside the
starter full of argon gases.
initially the supply will go through the choke,tube light &
starter.
Already starter inside bimetal strip was in open condition
so supply will not pass it, inside argon gases are present,
so arc will produce between the bimetal strip & it will
close the ciruit(due to heat), so supply will pass throug
it, after then bitmetal stip getting cool and it will open
the contacts.
Immediately the choke gives 1000v due to self induction, so
inside the tube light ionsation was happens & start the light.
why capacitor is used inside the starter? To avoid the Radio
interference.(In our home television or radio is working at
that time if we switch on the tube light little bit noise
will come from the tv or radio, if the capacitor was not
there the noise will be very more this is called radio
interference.)
