| Abstract |
The high frequency operation of a fluorescent lamp has been practically investigated using an externally driven high frequency series resonance converter. The converter structure is studied to choose the most economical power electronic circuit. A mathematical model and computer program were developed to simulate the electronic ballast operation to define the best zone of operation. The design parameters of the resonance circuit components have been deduced in order to get the optimal operating condition for both ignition during the starting phase and current limiting during normal operation phase. Experimental results have been obtained to compare the 50 Hz operation of the fluorescent lamp and conventional ballast with the electronic ballast at high frequency operation (30 kHz). The gain in the power consumption of the fluorescent lamp at high frequency operation and the power consumption of the electronic ballast has been experimentally illustrated. |
