Current-regulating ballast/reference source; no ordinary electrode ratings/characteristics table is published, so promoted active-section fields are intentionally not inferred.

Source-dependent data

Operating conditions by source

Each block preserves the test conditions and published values from one reference. Values from different sources are intentionally kept separate.
