Traditional fluorescent lamps use inductive ballasts. Is inductive ballast used in inductive fluorescent lamps?

Electronic lamp and induction lamp belong to fluorescent lamp series, which mainly have the following similarities and differences:

The luminous principle is the same: the luminous principle of the lamp tube is the same, and the ballast provides instantaneous high voltage to activate the inert gas and fluorescent powder inside the lamp tube to emit light;

The structure and principle of ballast are different: electronic ballasts are used in electronic fluorescent lamps, and electronic components complete rectification, frequency conversion, boosting and current limiting. Inductive fluorescent lamp adopts inductive ballast, and the step-up and current-limiting work is completed by iron core ballast with winding and upconverter.

Their weights are different: the electronic ballast uses electronic components and the shell uses polymer plastic, so it is light in weight. Inductive ballast adopts silicon steel sheet and copper wire coil, and its shell is made of iron, so it is relatively heavy. The shape and weight of the two are very different.

Both of them can be applied to all kinds of ordinary fluorescent tubes in principle, but electronic ballasts are widely used at present. The reason is that the electronic ballast saves energy and the glow stability of the lamp is good. The inductive reactive component is large, which reduces the utilization rate of power supply and circuit, and the glow of lamp tube is unstable in winter;

The practical work proves that T5 and T8 lamps cannot use inductive ballasts, but must use electronic ballasts.
