TROUBLESHOOTING DEFECTIVE FLUORESCENT LAMP FIXTURES
Fluorescent lamps have more components compared to incandescent lamps and when installed in pairs or groupings, things may go wrong and things get more complicated. In this scenario, troubleshooting is necessary. Troubleshooting is problem detecting and solving, often applied to repair defective gadgets or products like fluorescent lamp fixtures. It is a systematic search for the source of a problem so that it can be solved, to make the gadgets or products operational again.
The table below describes the common problem indications, possible causes and
corrective action that should be taken.
-
117
Troubleshooting Guide Table for Defective Fluorescent Lamp Fixtures
Problem Possible Cause Corrective Action
A. Lamp fails to light. No flickering.
o Leak in the
lamp tube
Inspect visually the lamp tube
for possible cracked or
damaged. If there is, replace
with a new one.
o No electrical power to the lamp fixture.
Check the power source. Make sure that all power controls such as circuit breaker and switch are turned on.
o Loose contact
between the
lamp and the
lamp holder.
Adjust the lamp and set it
properly. Clean dirty sockets
thoroughly. Check the spacing of
the lamp holders. If they are too
far apart, make needed
adjustments. If damaged, replace
the lamp holders.
o Improper
wiring
Check the wiring connections to
see whether it follows the
diagram on the ballast label
o Defective
ballast
Check the ballast. This may be
determined by checking
continuity between the leads of
the ballast. If the pointer of the
multi-tester deflects a little the
ballast is good; if it deflects
fully, the windings of the ballast
is shorted and if it will not
deflect, the winding is
open.Replace the ballast.
B. Slow or
intermittent
starting
o Loose contact
between the
lamp and the
holder
Adjust the lamp and set it
properly. Clean dirty sockets
thoroughly. Check the spacing of
the lamp holders. If they are too
far apart, make needed
adjustments. If damaged, replace
the lamp holders.
o Inactive
starter
Test starter in adjacent fixture. If
this does not work, replace the
starter.
-
118
o Improper
wiring
Check the wiring connections to
see whether it follows the
diagram on the ballast label
C. Short life span
of the lamp
o Constant
switching on
and off of the
circuit
Avoid unnecessary turning on
and off the cicuit, to maximize
the life span of the lamp.
o Loose contact
between the
lamp and the
holder
Adjust the lamp and set it
properly. Clean dirty sockets
thoroughly. Check the spacing of
the lamp holders. If they are too
far apart, make needed
adjustments. If damaged, replace
the lamp holders.
o Improper
wiring
Check the wiring connections to
see whether it follows the
diagram on the ballast label.
o Defective
starter
Remove the starter while the
lamp is on. If the flashing stops,
the starter is defective. Replace
it.
D. Blinking or
flickering
o Impurities
inside the
lamp
At times, the arc in the lamp
may swirl during normal
operation. Trying to turn the
lamp on and off usually solves
this, if this does not work,
replace the lamp.
o Loose contact
between the
lamp and the
holder
Adjust the lamp and set it
properly. Clean dirty sockets
thoroughly. Check the spacing of
the lamp holders. If they are too
far apart, make needed
adjustments. If damaged, replace
the lamp holders.
o Improper
wiring
Check the wiring connections to
see whether it follows the

it.
o Defective
ballast
If the ballast frequency rating is
not the same as the line
frequency, flickiring may occur.
Replae with a ballast with proper
rating.

INFORMATION 1.3 SKETCHING AN ELECTRICAL WIRING PLAN
Sketching an Electrical Wiring Plan Before starting to sketch an electrical wiring plan, the minimum requirements for each area or room in the building should be considered. BEDROOM: A bedroom is a private room where people normally sleep for the night or
relax during the day. A general illumination should be provided in this area.
Convenience outlets should also be installed on each side and within 1.5 to 2 meters of
the centerline of each bed location.
Lighting and power provision for the bedroom MASTERS BEDROOM: The masters bedroom is the principal bedroom in a house and is usually occupied by the head of the household. The lighting and power/convenience outlets requirement is similar to the ordinary bedroom.

DINING AREA: A dining area is a part of the house for consuming food. In modern
times it is usually adjacent to the kitchen for convenience in serving. This area should
be well lighted and provided with convenience outlets.
Lighting and power provision for a typical dining area
LIVING AREA: A living area is a part in a residential house for relaxing and socializing. This

KITCHEN: A kitchen is a part of a house used for cooking and food preparation. This area should be well lighted and should be provided with convenience outlets. A special purpose outlets should be installed for cooking range and other kitchen appliances.
Lighting and power provision for the kitchen Toilet and Bathroom: A toilet is a sanitation fixture used primarily for the disposal of
human excrement and urine. A bathroom is a room for personal hygiene, generally
containing a bathtub or a shower. Lighting should be installed in this room.
Convenience outlet could also be installed but it should be near the mirror or away
from the shower area.
Lighting and power provision for the Toilet & Bathroom
PORCH: Some porches are simply attachments of a home to give the traditional
appearance to a home. Similar to a living area, this should also be provided with
convenience outlets. Usually chandelier and pin lights are installed in this area as
shown in the drawing.

READING ELECTRICAL PLAN To read electrical plans, start with the floor plans where you can get an idea of the layout and intent of the space. Carefully study and understand the wiring diagrams, which show the paths that wires will take from each piece of equipment back to the panel. Electrical components are represented by various symbols and their corresponding meaning.

Passage 1
To determine total watts and current loads in figures A and B
Figure A: Lighting Outlets Layout Examine the lighting layout in figure A. There are 19 lighting outlets. Split the 19 lighting outlets into two circuits 1 and 2.
There are 19 light outlet divided into two
Circuit 1 = 9 light outlets Circuit 2 = 10 light outlets
A. Circuit 1 Lighting Load (9 light outlets)
1. The Philippine Electrical Code provides that 100 watts be the maximum load light outlet. Thus, for 9 light outlets at 100 watts, multiply:
9 outlets x 100 watts = 900 watts
2. Compute the current load
900watts/230volts = 3.91amperes
-
135
B. Circuit 2 Lighting Load (10 lights outlets)
1. For 10 light outlets, find the total load in watts:
10 light outlets x 100 watts = 1,000 watts
2. Compute current load:
1000 watts/230 volts = 4.35 amperes
Figure B: Convenience Outlets/Power Layout
Count the convenience outlets in figure B. There are 16 convenience outlets. Circuit 3 = 6 convenience outlets Circuit 4 = 6 convenience outlets Circuit 5 = 1- range load Circuit 6 = 1- water heater load Circuit 7 = 1- Aircon Unit Circuit 8 = 1- Aircon Unit
C. Circuit 3 for small Appliance Load: The Philippine Electrical Code specifies 180 watts load limit per convenience outlet. Thus:
1. Find the number of appliance outlet and total load in watts.
6 outlets X 2 gang per outlet x 180 watts 12 x 180 = 2,160 watts
2. Compute current load 2,160 watts/230 volts = 9.39 amperes
D. Circuit - 4 for small Appliance Load
1. Find the number of appliance outlet and Total Load in watts. 6 outlets X 2 gang per outlet x 180 watts 12 x 180 = 2,160 watts
2. Compute current load
2,160 watts/230 volts = 9.39 amperes
E. Circuit - 5 for Range Load
1. Range load (appliance rating) at 8.0 kw = 8,000 watts
2. Solve for current load 8,000watts/230 volts = 34.78 amperes
F. Circuit - 6 for water Heater load
-
136
1. One unit of water heater at 2.5 kw = 2,500 watts
2. The total current load will be;
2,500 watts/230 volts = 10.86 amperes
G. Circuit - 7 and 8 with 1-unit air conditioner each
1. One unit of air conditioner at 1.5 horse power is: 1.5 hp x 746 watts = 1,119 watts Article 6.7 of the Philippine Electrical Code (PEC) provides that:
Branch circuit conductor supplying a motor shall have an ampacity not less than 125% of the full load current
2. Current load: 1,119 watts/230 = 4.87 amperes
4.86 x 125% = 6.07 amperes
