In the mid-1930s
when first fluorescent tube lights were introduced in the market,
they were a total revelation. People were amazed to see their
houses and offices lit as brightly as cool daylight. Learn how they
work here.
Whats Inside a
Fluorescent Tube Light?
Wiring of
Flourescent Lights
After this the choke only acts like a low impedance current
limiter to the tube as long as the light is kept illuminated.

tube light) and the filament generate heat and it ionized the gas
(mercury vapor) in the fluorescent tube lamp. So the gas
becomes electrically conductive medium. At the same time when
the starter opened the circuit path of two filaments from series
connected, then the ballast release its stored voltage. And it
makes the fluorescent tube fully lighten. Now the starter has no
job in the circuit, if you open it from the circuit the fluorescent
tube light will be still lighten, until you release the main supply.

This image also explain the basic concept of this circuit
Since most part of the country does not have any communication link to the
outside world, we have had to design and install network connections from
scratch. In most of the hilly regions, wireless technology is the preferred
medium due to its low initial cost of installation and ease of maintenance.
Furthermore, using hilltops we can eliminate the need for building tall
towers to get a clear line of sight between two network nodes. We have used
mostly Mikrotik devices for long range wireless connections, and we had
been quite satisfied by its performance. However, recently we were a bit
concerned when few devices suddenly started malfunctioning in
Makwanpur, Dadeldhura, and Kapilvastu districts. Our investigation
revealed that the devices were damaged by lightning strikes.
We then set out to protect the devices against lightning strikes. First, we
placed spike suppressors at all the schools and relay points. Spike
suppressor is typically used in between the main power supply and the UPS
System. When there is an voltage spike, the circuit automatically breaks
and saves the electronic equipment from being damaged. We also
implemented a multi-level earthing system at the relay points so that the
exposed conductive surfaces are at the same electrical potential as the
surface of the earth.
Teachers from Pancha School pay a visit after tower had been erected and
earthing done.
Why Earthing?
One of the major tasks of earthing is to ensure safety of persons during fault
condition. Earthing creates the path of least impedance from system
components to the earth so that any surge that occurs is dissipated quickly.
It allows the lightning strike energy to be safely dissipated thereby
minimizing the danger caused by the lightning. Earthing is the key to
safety, i.e. protection of personnel, equipment and facilities. Another
advantage of earthing in communication tower is to reduce electromagnetic
interference.
Weather experts report that lightening strikes the earth 100 times each
second around the world. The region most prone to the lightning are those
where moist and unstable air masses move. Since communication
antenna/towers are placed at the top of the hills or at the highest point,
they are more susceptible to lightning strikes.
In the past we were having problem with many antenna specially in remote
hilly region with motherboards getting burned out. The reason behind this
was insufficient protection circuitry. In order to avoid this problem
repeating itself and to protect expensive antenna from lightning, we
decided to provide earthing. And we started it from Manakamana Danda
[hill] in Makawanpur.
PROCEDURE FOLLOWED WHILE INSTALLING COPPER PLATE
EARTHING AT MANAKAMANA DANDA.
1. Excavated the earth of 1.00 Mtr in diameter and 3.00 Mtr depth. Digging
the earth in circle made digging job easier.
2. From 3.00 mtr depth, excavated earth of 90 cm x 30 cm x 90 cm depth.
3. Water was sprinkled in the bottom and surround wall to make it wet.
4. Bottom layer of the pit was filled with charcoal and salt upto 15 cm height
from bottom.
5. Whole length of earthing cable was placed inside the PVC pipe to protect
cable from mechanical damage.
6. Earthing cable with the cable shoe was fitted tightly to the copper plate
[60 cm x 60 cm x 3 mm] electrode by nuts, bolts and spring washer.
Connection was checked to make sure that it is strong and stable.
7. We took a PVC pipe of 40 mm diameter, 3 m length and made a
continuous hole of 12 mm diameter in zig zag manner at a spacing of 15 cm
from bottom of pipe to 2 meter height. GI pipe would work great. This pipe
was fitted vertically into earth fit. This pipe was to be used for proper
watering of the earthing.
8. Copper plate was placed inside the pit on top of the charcoal and salt
layer with its face vertical.
9. After putting copper plate electrode in place, pit was filled with charcoal
and salt[120 kg each] in alternative layer, each with thickness of 15 cm till it
completely buried the copper plate.
10. Earthing cable with PVC cover was laid properly and the pit refilled with
soil.
11. The pit was sprinkled with water to make it wet while refilling.
12. A plastic bucket with a covering was used for watering the pit which
helps in recharging the earthing. The best option for watering system would
be brick/cement masonry of size not less than 30 cm x 30 cm x 30 cm, with
cast iron cover having locking system. We didnt have materials in hand so
we adopted for plastic bucket with cover. The arrangement for the watering
system is shown in the diagram below.
13. A lightning rod was mounted on the top of the antenna tower. The free
end of the earthing cable was clamped tightly to the lightning rod by nuts,
bolts and spring washer.
14.Finally earthing cable was laid under ground and tied tightly against the
pole with cable tie.
