Marginal note:Definitions

• 449 (1) The following definitions apply in this Subdivision.

  CSA C654-10

  CSA C654-10 means the CSA standard CAN/CSA-C654-10 entitled Fluorescent lamp ballast efficacy measurements. (CSA C654-10)

  CSA C654-14

  CSA C654-14 means the CSA standard CAN/CSA-C654-14 entitled Fluorescent lamp ballast efficacy measurements. (CSA C654-14)

  fluorescent lamp ballast

  fluorescent lamp ballast means a ballast that is

  • (a) designed to start and operate fluorescent lamps by

    • (i) providing the necessary voltage and current,

    • (ii) limiting the current during normal operation, and

    • (iii) if necessary to facilitate lamp operation, providing cathode heating;

  • (b) designed for a nominal voltage of at least 120 V but not more than 347 V; and

  • (c) described in Table 1A of CSA C654-14.

  It does not include any of the following:

  • (d) a ballast — other than a T12 dimming ballast — that, by means of an integrated dimming capability, is designed to reduce the output of a fluorescent lamp by 50% or more;

  • (e) a low-frequency T8 ballast that is designed and marketed only for use in an electromagnetic-interference-sensitive environment and that is sold in a package of 10 or fewer; or

  • (f) a program-start ballast that is designed to operate one or more T8 fluorescent lamps with a nominal overall length of 1 200 mm and a medium bi-pin base, and that delivers an average current of less than 140 mA to each lamp. (ballast pour lampes fluorescentes)

  high-frequency

  high-frequency means, in respect of a fluorescent lamp ballast, that the ballast operates the lamp at a frequency of 10 kHz or more. (à haute fréquence)

  low-frequency

  low-frequency means, in respect of a fluorescent lamp ballast, that the ballast operates at a supply frequency of 50 to 60 Hz and operates the lamp at the same frequency as the supply. (à basse fréquence)

  10 C.F.R. §430.32(m)(2)(ii)(B)

  10 C.F.R. §430.32(m)(2)(ii)(B) means paragraph 430.32(m)(2)(ii)(B) of Subpart C, Part 430 of Title 10 to the United States Code of Federal Regulations, as amended from time to time. (10 C.F.R. §430.32(m)(2)(ii)(B))

  10 C.F.R. Appendix Q

  10 C.F.R. Appendix Q means Appendix Q to Subpart B, Part 430 of Title 10 to the United States Code of Federal Regulations, entitled Uniform Test Method for Measuring the Energy Consumption of Fluorescent Lamp Ballasts, as amended from time to time. (appendice Q 10 C.F.R.)

  T12 dimming ballast

  T12 dimming ballast means a fluorescent lamp ballast that

  • (a) is designed for a nominal voltage of at least 120 V but not more than 277 V;

  • (b) by means of an integrated dimming capability, is designed to reduce the output of a T12 fluorescent lamp by 50% or more; and

  • (c) is designed to operate one F34T12 fluorescent lamp or two F34T12, F96T12ES or F96T12HO ES fluorescent lamps. (ballast de gradation T12)

• Marginal note:Table 1A of CSA C654-14

  (2) Despite subsection 1(3), a reference in this Subdivision to Table 1A of CSA C654-14 is a reference to that table as it read on the day on which the standard was published.
