scope:
This standard describes a standard practice for grounding contact assignment for detachable power cables on 6kW, 12kW and 18kW metal-halide lamp ballasts used in the motion picture and television industries on portable studio luminaires that use the MIL-C-5015 connector with #28-6 insert configuration on the ballast end of the power cable.
Purpose
The use of a standardized pin assignment will reduce the possibility of ballast chassis to ungrounded power conductor connections caused by mismatched cables and ballasts.
