SUBDIVISION GMetal Halide Lamp Ballasts
Marginal note:Definitions
453 The following definitions apply in this Subdivision.
- CSA C863-16
CSA C863-16 means the CSA standard CAN/CSA C863-16 entitled Energy efficiency of high-intensity discharge (HID) and low-pressure sodium (LPS) lamp ballasts. (CSA C863-16)
- electronic ballast
electronic ballast means a ballast that is controlled by a transistor, thyristor or other active electronic component and in which impedance is provided by capacitive or inductive reactance. (ballast électronique)
- magnetic-regulated lamp ballast
magnetic-regulated lamp ballast means a ballast that operates at a lagging high power factor and that has
(a) three coils;
(b) isolated secondary windings; and
(c) a constant-voltage regulator that, in conjunction with capacitive reactance, provides power factor correction and lamp wattage regulation. (ballast à régulation magnétique)
- metal halide lamp ballast
metal halide lamp ballast means a device that is used to obtain the voltage, current and waveform necessary for starting and operating a metal halide lamp that has a nominal power of at least 50 W but not more than 1 000 W. It does not include any of the following:
(a) a magnetic-regulated lamp ballast;
(b) a replacement metal halide lamp ballast; or
(c) an electronic ballast that is designed for a nominal voltage of 480 V or to operate a lamp at an output frequency of 1000 Hz or more. (ballast pour lampes aux halogénures métalliques)
- replacement metal halide lamp ballast
replacement metal halide lamp ballast means a ballast that is marketed for use as replacement ballast for a metal halide luminaire installation and that is sold in a package of 10 or fewer. (ballast pour lampes aux halogénures métalliques de remplacement)
Marginal note:Energy-using product
454 (1) A metal halide lamp ballast is prescribed as an energy-using product.

(a) it was manufactured before February 10, 2017; or
(b) it is manufactured before December 31, 2019 and is capable of using a nominal voltage of 347 V.
Marginal note:Energy efficiency standards
455 (1) The energy efficiency standards set out in Table 3 of CSA C863-16 apply to metal halide lamp ballasts.
Marginal note:Testing standard
(2) A metal halide lamp ballast complies with the energy efficiency standard if it meets that standard when tested in accordance with testing procedures established by CSA C863-16 that are applicable to a metal halide lamp ballast as defined in section 453.
