You can&rsquo;t treat them like a simple resistor. They throw a high-voltage arc that needs careful handling—controlled current and a stable, predictable start. So when you&rsquo;re running a 400V UV lamp, you need a capacitor that&rsquo;s built for that moment—the kind that can take the peak voltage, soak up the inrush, and keep your ballast steady from the first cold start all the way to a calm, reliable run.</p>
