  • the invention relates to an electrical equipment, such as a ballast, a transformer or a ballast ignition unit, as required for operation the corresponding bulbs are provided.
  • the mentioned resources usually contain one voluminous coil component, such as a ballast choke or a transformer, this coil component generates a considerable power loss. These leads to heating of the coil component and adjacent Parts. The heat must be dissipated to an excessive Heating the coil component and the other parts to prevent.
  • voluminous coil component such as a ballast choke or a transformer
  • the electrical equipment contains at least one heat developing coil component with at least two each other opposite heat-emitting surfaces. These Surfaces are in direct contact with walls of the electrically insulating housing, whereby on the one hand a good transmission of emanating from the coil component Heat on the wall and from this to the environment safely can be made.
  • the direct investment the wall on the coil element to a support of the wall, so that lower demands are placed on their rigidity are as with free and self-supporting housing walls.
  • Corresponding can be the thickness of the walls of the electrically insulating Housing be reduced, which in turn the heat transfer and benefits the heat dissipation to the environment.
  • the Inventive equipment thus requires no ventilation openings. It can with good electrical safety and good mechanical stability, the heat dissipation in the Environment to be improved.
