HIGH-INTENSITY DISCHARGE LAMPS
LAMP CAPAFITY OF REGULATORS IS LIMITED BY STARTING CURRENT. DETERMINE UNIT kW BY MULTIPLYING LAMP WATTAGE
BY THE FOLLOWING FACTORS:
2.1 FOR AMBIENT TEMPERATURES NOT BELOW +35°F (+2°C)
2.5 FOR AMBIENT TEMPERATURES TO -30°F (-34°C)
THE PROPER SIZE REGULATOR TO SELECT IS THE SMALLEST RATING WHICH EXCEEDS THE SUM OF THE UNIT kW FOR ALL
LAMPS ON THE CIRCUIT, REGARDLESS OF TYPE.
*UNIT kW IS THE APPROXIMATE kW CAPACITY REQUIRED FOR A SPECIFIC LAMP AND ITS ASSOCIATED TRANSFORMER OR
BALLAST AS APPLICABLE.
