Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0152096A1] 1. Ballast for gas-discharge lamps with a core stack which is assembled in enclosed form, laminated in the longitudinal direction of the core, held between a U-shaped ballast base (9) and a U-shaped top part (10) and comprises two symmetrically arranged winding apertures (1), characterised in that - with a ballast cross-section of approximately 28 x 28 mm, the core stack consists of 2 U-shaped parts (2), which are of the same side and have inclined surfaces (4), which open in a conical manner, at the inner surfaces of the side pieces, and an I-shaped central part (3), which carries the winding (11) and has roof-shaped wedge surfaces (5), corresponding to the inclined surfaces (4), at the front ends, - that one of the U-shaped parts (2) of the core stack is disposed in the U-shaped ballast base (9) and the other U-shaped part (2) of the core stack is disposed in the U-shaped top part (10), - the top part (10) being connected to the ballast base (9) after the core stack parts (2, 3) have been pressed together, with the winding (11) being held between these in a non-positive manner, - and that the height (a) of the winding apertures (1) is 1/6 to 1/8 of the corresponding external dimension (A) of the core stack.
