103 results about "Electrical ballast" patented technology

An electrical ballast is a device placed in series with a load to limit the amount of current in an electrical circuit. A familiar and widely used example is the inductive ballast used in fluorescent lamps to limit the current through the tube, which would otherwise rise to a destructive level due to the negative differential resistance of the tube's voltage-current characteristic.

Heated bracket assembly for supporting power rails

A power rail retention system includes a heated bracket assembly for supporting conducting power rails. Power rails carrying different voltages supplied by a substation rest on a support plate that includes grooves configured to accept lower sections of angled clips. Upper sections of the clips frictionally hold the power rails against the support plate. A resistor is coupled between the lower sections of at least two conductive clips and is positioned proximate a top edge of the support plate between adjacent rails. When the rails are energized, current flows through the resistor, which may generate ambient heat to evaporate moisture on the support plate, power a light source on the bracket, and provide a ballast load for the substation.
