EMB - Electronic Ballasts for Vehicles
EMB has over four decades of experience in producing electronic ballasts, specifically engineered for diverse transportation applications like rail vehicles, ships, and buses. The electronic ballasts developed by EMB are designed to cater to different lamp types and are compatible with direct current voltage systems. They play a critical role in providing the necessary ignition and operational voltage for lighting systems. The design ensures that the preheating time of fluorescent lamps compensates effectively for ambient temperature variations, guaranteeing optimal performance. These ballasts are robustly tested to withstand various operational anomalies like short circuits, idle modes, defective lamp electrodes, or even polarity reversal at the input. Every component of the ballast is precisely crafted to meet the extensive technical demands it would face in different environments, ensuring reliability and durability.
Our electronic ballasts have been developed specifically for use in rail vehicles, ships and buses. They can be used to operate a variety of lamp types, even with DC voltage systems.
They provide the essential ignition and operating voltage required for illumination. The preheating time of the fluorescent lamps compensates for any fluctuations in ambient temperature. Each component is carefully designed to cope with the considerable range of technical requirements to which it will be exposed. Prior to delivery, every device is thoroughly tested. Our ballasts can handle any abnormal operational state, such as short circuits, idle mode, defective lamp electrodes or polarity reversal in the input port.
- Greater light yield thanks to higher frequencies (10-15 % higher than with 50 Hz operation)
- Flicker-free ignition and operation
- A longer service life for fluorescent lamps thanks to variable preheating times
- A high degree of efficiency, leading to low self-heating and a longer service life for the components
- Lower maintenance costs, as the lamps last longer and need to be replaced less frequently
- Easy to handle for service and repair work
