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

psychicwarrior
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.

    It's certainly an interesting discussion.


    Unless the mod kit is made by the original luminaire manufacturer, AND they also say it's suitable for that specific model of light fitting, the responsibility for the luminaire after the modification (in particular, its safety and EMC compliance) most likely lies with the person (individual or organization) carrying out the modification.


    I'm sure under these circumstances, original equipment manufacturers would be quick to point that the luminaire no longer complied with the original specification, should something unpleasant happen after the mod.
