Current carrying capacity of the wires inside a fluorescent batten with regard to LED tubes

Hello all - good afternoon !


As in the subject, can someone verify please what the current carrying capacity of the [thin] wires in a flourescent batten is ?


It is with regard to fitting an LED tube replacement where the [electronic] ballast has to be taken out of circuit; the wires from it to one of the tube mount ('tombstones' ?)  have to be cut and wired from the tube mount directly back to the 240V supply, according to most instructions.


I was curious about the wires with regard to doing this - it must be ok as this is the general instruction, but I was interested to know what they can carry.

  • @AJJ thanks for that.  You have touched on what was in my mind in my perhaps poorly worded question.   I was writing in response to the previous post and then noticed your response.


    It just seemed a good idea to try find out what those internal wires were rated at etc.   Thanks [both] for the response.
