Abstract
This paper presents the results of laboratory tests to determine the e ffects of voltage sags, interruptions, and fluctuations on high-pressu re sodium (HPS) lamps and ballasts. The way these ballasted lamps reac t to sags and interruptions in the laboratory is then compared to a mo del of the real-world electrical environment created from data gathere d during three recent North American power quality surveys. This work also shows how HPS immunity to voltage variations depends significantl y on the ballast type and the lamp age.
