What is Federal Supply Class 6250?

FSC 6250 is the Federal Supply Class (formally known as NATO Supply Classification Class NSC 6250) in the USA for supply items codified in the category of Ballasts, Lampholders, and Starters.

What is NATO Supply Classification Class 6250?

NSC 6250 is the NATO Supply Classification Class (also known as Federal Supply Class FSC 6250 in the USA) for supply items codified in the category of Ballasts, Lampholders, and Starters.

Which Federal Supply Group is FSC 6250 in?

FSC 6250 is in Federal Supply Group (FSG) 62 which contains Lighting Fixtures and Lamps.

Which NATO Supply Classification Group is NSC 6250 in?

NSC 6250is in NATO Supply Classification Group (NSG) 62 which contains Lighting Fixtures and Lamps.

What is a Fluorescent Lamp Starter?

A Fluorescent Lamp Starter (STARTER,FLUORESCENT LAMP) is an item consisting of a switch assembled in a case with terminals or contacts, specially designed to initially actuate the mercury arc in a fluorescent lamp. It may include a capacitor.

What is a Lamp Starter Socket?

A Lamp Starter Socket (SOCKET,LAMP STARTER) is a socket designed to accommodate electrically and mechanically a fluorescent lamp starter. For a fitting designed for both lamp and starter, see LAMPHOLDER.

What is a Lamp Ballast?

A Lamp Ballast (BALLAST,LAMP) is an item specifically designed for use with fluorescent or mercury vapor lamps and starters to provide a high starting voltage for striking the arc and to stabilize the operating impedance of the circuit in order to maintain the operating current at a steady value.

What is a Lampholder?

A Lampholder is an electric fitting primarily designed to electrically and mechanically accommodate a lamp. It may include an integral switch, transformer, or dropping resistor, provided these items control the lamp only. It does not include a shade, lens, reflector, or other item for modifying illumination. For items designed to mount on a CONDUIT OUTLET, or JUNCTION BOX; see FIXTURE, LIGHTING.

NATO Supply Class 6250 is a classification within NATO Supply Group 62, which is dedicated to Lighting Fixtures And Lamps.

Specifically, NATO Supply Class 6250 focuses on Ballasts, Lampholders, And Starters. Here's a breakdown of what each of these terms refers to:

1. Ballasts: Ballasts are devices used in lighting fixtures to regulate the electrical current flowing through the lamp. They provide the necessary voltage and current to start and operate the lamp efficiently. Ballasts are commonly used in fluorescent lamps, high-intensity discharge (HID) lamps, and other types of lighting fixtures.

2. Lampholders: Lampholders, also known as lamp sockets or bulb holders, are the components that hold the lamp or bulb in place within a lighting fixture. They provide the electrical connection between the lamp and the fixture, allowing the lamp to receive power and emit light. Lampholders come in various types and sizes to accommodate different lamp bases.

3. Starters: Starters are devices used in certain types of lighting fixtures, such as fluorescent lamps, to initiate the lamp's ignition process. They provide the necessary voltage and current to start the lamp by preheating the electrodes and creating an ionized gas environment. Starters are typically used in older fluorescent fixtures that do not have built-in electronic ballasts.

In summary, NATO Supply Class 6250 encompasses the components necessary for the operation and maintenance of lighting fixtures, including ballasts, lampholders, and starters. These items play a crucial role in ensuring the proper functioning of lamps and lighting systems.
