Electromagnetic and electronic ballasts
An Electromagnetic Ballast (Magnetic Ballast) is one that uses a Core & Coil assembly to transform electrical current to start and operate fluorescent and high intensity discharge (HID) lamps. An Electronic (High Frequency) Ballast is one that, with the help of electronic components, transforms current at high frequency to operate discharge lamps. Electronic ballasts typically operate at frequencies at or above 20,000 Hz.
