    Calculating inrush current for magnetic ballasts

    I need to, as accurately as possible, establish what the inrush current is for some large metal halide floodlights with magnetic ballasts and I'm drawing a blank. This is for a switchgear/DB replacement I am in the planning stages of and need to know whether these circuits can be fed from MCBs...

    Is the strength of a magnetic field directly proportional to voltage?

    I understand current is, however is voltage? As if you increase voltage the current must increase(unless resistance does). However does this mean voltage is 'directly' proportional to magnetic field strength?

    Magnetic Contactor Over/Under Voltage

    What voltage should be used in the UK for a magnetic contactor? 240V, 230V or 220V I know over voltage and under voltage can lead to the coils being burnt out over time. From the wall I am drawing in around 235V but when being used it drops around 225V-230V. Is it still wise to buy the 240V...

    Magnetic fire door closers

    Hi, I have been asked to install 2 extra magnetic fire door closers to an existing system. I was just wondering if these have to be wired back to the fire panel or can they be fed from an existing local magnetic fire door closer? Any help would be very appreciated. Ta.
