Ballast-CT
The Tektronix Ballast-CT simplifies the measurement of output power and
tube current in high frequency electronic lighting ballasts. This device is
specifically designed for lighting applications, and overcomes problems that
are usually found when using conventional or Hall Effect current
transformers. When used in conjunction with a Tektronix PA1000 or
PA3000 power analyzer, the free-standing Ballast-CT accessory provides a
convenient and accurate solution to taking power measurements in lighting
ballast circuits.
