What is the difference between CWA and SCWA? « on: December 12, 2020, 04:35:57 PM » Author: WorldwideHIDCollectorUSA
Does anyone have know what makes a SCWA or Super CWA ballast different than a regular CWA ballast? From my understanding, SCWA ballasts are almost exclusively used in North America for high wattage pulse start metal halide lighting.

I am wondering if SCWA ballasts have different electrical characteristics compared to standard CWA ballasts.
