EFS Datasheet, PDF (11/14 Pages) STMicroelectronics – STARLIGHT-KIT

EFS
8/ E.M.I. CAPACITOR:
As required in the IEC 926 standard (§11.5),
“starters which are interchangeable with glow
starters in accordance with IEC 155 shall contain
means for radio interference suppression, the
effect of which is equivalent to that of the radio
interference suppression capacitor prescribed in
7.12 of IEC 155”.
The EFS starlight-kit is compatible with this 5nF
E.M.I. Capacitor which must be connected directly
across the ASD™ (between pin 3 “TUBE” and pin
4 “GND”).
On the other hand, this E.M.I. capacitor increases
the striking pulse width of about 55% on positive
temperatures.
