Why do IBL electronic transformers give no output drive until a lamp is connected?
IBL electronic transformers require a lamp to be connected to the output to enable the drive circuit. If a lamp is not connected, the transformer will shut down. This feature protects the transformer against damage resulting from driving into an open load, and conserves energy by shutting down the transformer in the event of lamp failure.
