What is the function of stater in tube light circuit?

Answer Posted / bhanu pratap

Tube light requires two things to function . Very high starting voltage , and high voltage to continue the operation . The starter is a circuit which breaks at regular intervals . When you break a circuit and start again , high voltage spark takes place . This voltage is further amplified through the choke which is a transformer . Thus at the beginning the starter gives high voltage sparks . Due to this the current begins to flow through the tube and the tube begins to glow. Once the tube starts , the required voltage to sustain is quite low , which is provided by the choke .

If the starter is bad the tube does not start . If the choke is bad or if the gas is low , the tube does not sustain its light .
