The correct installation of Crosby clips is as follows:


-

tighten the furthest clip from eye

strain the wire rope

tighten the other clips while the rope remains under strain

f)

Secure the fluorescent lamp on the wire cable.

g)

Link the wire cable eyes, turn-buckles and eyebolts together at the both ends of the
wire cable.

h)

Strain the wire cable using turn-buckles.

TASK
Two 40 W fluorescent lamps should be connected so that the total current is in phase with
the supply voltage. The Power factor becomes almost unity with no stroboscopic effect.

(Solution)

The detailed wiring diagram

C1

= capacitor

L1, L2 = choke
E1, E2 = fluorescent tube
Unity power factor is obtained when the two lamps are connected in a dual lamp (twin
tube) circuit. In this circuit one lamp has inductive and the other has capacitive effect.
The light and dark periods overlap, giving almost flicker-free light (no stroboscopic effect).
