why voltage rating not mention at HPSV or HPMV lamps?

Answer Posted / k.prakashchandra


High voltage is required to strike the arc inside lamp at
the starting point and once the arc is struck and lamp is
illuminated ,the voltage across the lamp is zero.It is the
ballast which has to control the current and it requires
voltage rating and not the lamp

Given a collection of points P in the plane, a 1-set is a point in P that can be separated from the rest by a line; i.e. the point lies on one side of the line while the others lie on the other side. The number of 1-sets of P is denoted by n1(P). The maximum value of n1(P) over all configurations P of 19 points in the plane is 18
