Vossloh-Schwabe LN 36.149 Electromagnetic Ballast (529029) – 36/40 W, 230 V

The Vossloh-Schwabe LN 36.149 is a 230 V, 50 Hz electromagnetic ballast for lamps with a lamp current of 430 mA: T8 36/40 W (G13), T-U/T-R 36/40 W (2G13/G10q), TC-F/TC-L 36 W (2G10/2G11), and TC-DD 38 W (GR10q). The housing measures 150 × 140 × 60 mm, and the ballast weighs 0.55 kg.

Features and benefits

• One ballast for several 36–40 W lamp types (lamp current: 430 mA) → the same part number supports T8 36/40 W and 38 W, T-U/T-R 36/40 W, TC-F/TC-L 36 W, and TC-DD 38 W lamps. → easier replacement selection and fewer items to keep in stock.
• Compact housing measuring 150 × 140 × 60 mm; weight: 0.55 kg → compact dimensions compared with the 92 mm-high versions that the manufacturer offers for the same lamps. → more likely to fit inside a tight luminaire during replacement.
• Vacuum-impregnated with polyester resin → the windings are protected with resin rather than left as a loose stack of laminations and wire. → a mechanically more stable construction inside the luminaire.
• Push-in terminals for 0.5–1 mm² wires and IDC terminals for H05V-U 0.5 wires → push-in connections require no screw tightening and allow automatic wiring of luminaires. → shorter installation time for larger batches.
• Winding temperature tw 130 and temperature rise Δt/Δt_an 55/150 K → the manufacturer specifies the permitted thermal values for the windings. → easier assessment of whether the ballast is suitable for the thermal conditions of a particular luminaire.
• Protection class I → the ballast is designed to be used with a protective conductor. → supports safer operation of the lighting installation.
• Energy efficiency class B2 → the value listed by the manufacturer for this part number. → makes it possible to compare electromagnetic ballasts using a clearly stated parameter.
