Once the arc is lit the ballast maintains the arc.
Hid lamp ballast tester.
Hid light fixture tester for mogul base testing ballast check of hid lamps.
Check the capacitor with an ohmmeter set to the highest resistance scale if the meter indicates a very low resistance then gradually increases the capacitor does not require replacement.
The facilities listed.
The hid light fixture tester is packaged in an durable case and is a stock item usually shipped same day of order.
Vivosun 1000 watt dimmable digital ballast for hps mh grow light ul listed soft start program space gray 4 0 out of 5 stars 341.
If you are installing an hid ballast and bulb to your car test the units first to make sure there are no problems.
The tester is unconditionally guaranteed for 3 years.
The unit checks the open circuit voltage of the ballast ocv along with the starting pulse voltage hid starter test.
A ballast serves as a lamp starter and regulates power to the light.
These bulbs produce a bright light that is perfect for nighttime vision.
Hps and mh lamps from 70w up to 1500w.
Hid bulbs are connected to ballasts that control the voltage and current frequency to ensure that the bulb gets the right amount power.

Ballast high intensity discharge.
The proper test procedure is as follows.
The primary way of determining the problems of the ballast is by testing it and for this test to be carried out you would need a multimeter.
Disconnect the metal halide high pressure sodium or pulse start capacitor from the circuit and discharge it by shorting the terminals or wires together.
This unit can test the ballast gear of hps mh pulse start mh and mercury vapor lighting fixture.
The ballast assembly consists of a transformer capacitor and lamp starter sized for the specific type of lamp.
The hid ignitor boosts voltage coming from the ballast to around 15 000 to 25 000 volts to jump the air gap between the two electrodes and light the arc.
Metal halide bulbs high pressure sodium bulbs and mercury lamps make up the family of high intensity discharge hid lighting.
