For Cos phi = 0,95; Dielectric strength of the capacitors 250 V ac; Capacitance tolerance ±10%
2)
For Cos phi = at least 0,95; Dielectric strength of the capacitors 450 V ac
To guarantee the prescribed operating and preheating values, capacitors and control gear with narrow tolerances (± 2 % and ± 1,5 % re-
spectively) are needed for series compensation. Please refer to the catalogues of the major manufacturers.

3.2.3 Operation of OSRAM DULUX
®
S/E, D/E und T/E PLUS with external starter and CCG
OSRAM DULUX
®
S, D, T PLUS lamps and the CFL SQUARE
®
lamp (with two-pin bases) have been
designed specifically for operation with conventional control gear. Integrated in their bases is
a specially developed glow starter that has been adapted to the particular requirements of these
compact fluorescent lamps.
OSRAM DULUX
®
S/E, D/E, T/E PLUS, T/E HE, T/E XT, T/E CONSTANT, DULUX L (40W, 55W, 80W),
L XT, L HE and L CONSTANT with four-pin bases are intended for operation with electronic control
gear, and hence without a starter.
For this reason, this mode of operation (4-pin lamps with external starter) is not recommen-
ded or supported by OSRAM.
Exception: OSRAM CFL SQUARE
®
lamps 16W, 28W, 38W with the 4-pin base, are intended with
electronic control gear, and hence without a starter. Generally it is possible to operate OSRAM CFL
SQUARE
®
lamps 16W, 28W, 38W with the 4-pin base with conventional control gear and an exter-
nal starter under normal operating conditions. OSRAM Starter ST 111 Longlife is released to operate
CFL SQUARE
®
lamps 16W, 28W, 38W with the four-pin base.
