Order No.: Email 11th April 2011

NATURE OF TESTS:

Determination of the Lamp Operating parameters, when used in conjunction with

Active Reactor ballast control gear or Standard 400 W Inductive ballast control gear
at a nominal test voltage of 254.4 V.

UNCERTAINTY
OF TEST:

The estimated uncertainty in determination of test results, at time of measurement, is:

0.3 % of reading for voltage and current
0.5 % of reading for power
0.005 for power factor
The uncertainty values stated in this document have been calculated at the 95% level of confidence with a coverage factor k = 2.0
This means that the chance that a result is in error by more than the value of its uncertainty is not more than five in one hundred.

CONCLUSION:

Test results are given on pages 3 to 6

This report consists of 6 page(s).
