About 1/0.8MMWHITE100M Ballast Cable

A 0.8mm ballast cable is a single-core, solid-core wire used for lighting applications, specifically to connect ballasts to fluorescent or other types of lights. It is a heat-resistant, high-temperature cable that meets safety standards like IEC 60332.1 and is designed to operate in temperatures ranging from -\(5^{\circ }C\) to \(70^{\circ }C\). It’s important to note that the 0.8mm size is a common conductor diameter for many T8 fluorescent light fittings.

Common uses and specifications Lighting: Primarily used for wiring ballasts in lighting systems, such as fluorescent fittings.

Structure: A single-core, solid wire with a 0.8mm conductor diameter.

Temperature rating: Designed to operate at high temperatures, with a working temperature range of -\(5^{\circ }C\) to \(70^{\circ }C\) and a 300/500V working voltage.

Safety and compliance: Flame retardant and ROHS compliant, and meets the CE Low Voltage Directive.

Availability: Available in various lengths, often sold in rolls or by the meter. What to consider.

Fixture type: The 0.8mm size is standard for many T8 fittings, but some older T12 fittings may use different cable sizes, so it is best to check your specific fixture.

Cable type: This is a single-core, solid cable, not a multi-strand flexible cable. Be sure to get the correct type for your application.

Ballast function: The cable’s role is to connect a ballast, which regulates the current for a light fixture. The ballast itself provides the initial high voltage to ignite the lamp and then regulates the current for stable operation.
