What is a Glow Starter?

Glow starter definition

The spark starter is a glass bubble filled with neon gas, static contact plate, moving contact plate, bimetal plate, etc., used to preheat the fluorescent lamp filament, and increase the voltage at both ends of the lamp to light the automatic switch of the lamp.

Extender part of opener: Capacitor

Capacitive action: The role is to absorb the harmonics generated by glow discharge, so as not to affect the normal operation of TV, radio, audio, mobile phone and other equipment. It can also make the static and static contact plate do not produce sparks when separating, so as not to burn the contact.

How the opener works

When the switch is turned on, the supply voltage is immediately added to the poles of the starter through the ballast and the lamp filament. A voltage of 220 volts immediately ionizes the inert gas of the starter, producing a glow discharge.
