Hey pal,

If the building where you stay has fluorescent, HID, or plug-and-play linear LED lighting, you should know the meaning of ballast. It is used in construction and lighting. Many people get confused about what is a ballast because of technical jargon. 

Meaning :

A ballast is an interactive mechanism that controls, regulates, and ultimately stabilises the output of any device. It creates optimum circuit conditions to start and maintain  the operation. It manages the distribution of electricity in a device. The most common example of ballast use is in an efficient building.

It operates at 120, 277, or 347 volts. To select the perfect volt line, you should have details about all the devices that will be connected. If you do so in a fluorescent lighting system, you should check which luminaire is compatible with the ballast.

It provides the equal or necessary voltage to all devices in the building i.e. energy to operate the lift, service elevator, etc. Ballast in construction and lighting offers a cost-effective solution to the builder. Many light sources are used in real estate and property construction, ballast interacts with all the lighting mechanisms.

Without ballast, all the devices will get unlimited current. Constant high voltage will overheat and burn electrodes within a device. Therefore, ballast acts as a regulatory mechanism and ensures optimum electrode temperature is maintained. This is all from my end on what is a ballast.
