I want to use Electronic Fluorescent ballast for some conversion of a luminaire i am doing
The luminaire is made out of a "main part", a stick on which it is suspended from teh ceiling, and a small "cup" for connections at the top of the stick, near the ceiling. It is all metal, and it is Earthed by an Earth wire to the "stick" at the top (in the connection box)
I want to place the ballast in the "main part" of the luminaire
The ballast is with Plastic enclosure. It does have Earth terminal though. Inside, this Earth terminal goes to one Y capacitor, the other end of which is on the Negative side of the internal DC line (the Electrolytic capacitor). The ballast have PFC, where the Negative of the Electrolitic comes straight from the bridge rectifier, the Positive through the PFC circuitry
Is the Earth connection for this ballast critical for something ? Or i can skip on pulling the Earth wire specially for it through the "stick" ?
