Fusing and rating circuits
Tripping values line circuit-breakers
For the operation luminaires, automatic
circuit breakers with characteristics are
recommended. case connection circuit
breakers with characteristics, transformers
should not loaded above rating order to
avoid false tripping. case metal halide lamps, the

Please note: the values given the table
are intended reference values only and
may deviate individual cases. The specific
range and type, well as, the actual number
of ballasts per luminaire must taken into
account.
