The following are the functions of ballast EXCEPT;
It preheats the electrodes to make available a large supply of the electron.
It prevents the arc current to increase beyond the limit set for each size and lamp.
It provides a surge of relatively large potential to start the arc between the electrodes.
A glow switch that opens and closes the circuit do as to produce a high voltage or inductive kick across the bulb at the filament during the starter period.

Aling Nena, bought a fluorescent lamp last week, on the second week the fluorescent lamp fails to light, upon checking there is a leak in the lamp. What may be the possible corrective actions?
Check the wiring connections to see whether it follows the diagram on the ballast label
Inspect visually the lamp tube for possible cracked or damaged. If there is, replace with a new one.
Check the power source. Make sure that all power controls such as circuit breaker and switch are turned on.
Adjust the lamp and set it properly. Clean dirty sockets thoroughly. Check the spacing of the lamp holders. If they are too far apart, make needed adjustment. If damaged, replaced with a new one.
What will happen if there is a constant switching On and Off the circuit?
The lamp will explode.
Nothing will happen.
It will maximize the life span of the lamp.
It will minimize the life span of the lamp.
If there is an improper wiring in the fluorescent lamp, what may be the possible corrective actions?
Check the wiring connections to see whether it follows the diagram on the ballast label
Inspect visually the lamp tube for possible cracked or damaged. If there is, replace with a new one.
Check the power source. Make sure that all power controls such as circuit breaker and switch are turned on.
Adjust the lamp and set it properly. Clean dirty sockets thoroughly. Check the spacing of the lamp holders. If they are too far apart, make needed adjustment. If damaged, replaced with a new one.
The following are the possible cause for slow and intermittent starting of fluorescent EXCEPT;
Inactive starter
Improper wiring
Constant switching on and off of the circuit
Loose contact between the lamp and the lamp holder.
