| Abstract |
This paper presents a novel type of
electronic ballast for HID (High Intensity Discharge)
lamps. The key feature of the circuit topology is the
application of a boost-type converter. The proposed
circuit is very simple. This proposed circuit can
generate sufficiently high voltage pulses for the HID
lamp without an additional ignitor circuit. A 70 W
metal-halide lamp (an HID lamp) is used in this
circuit. The design and performance of this
proposed circuit are described in this paper. Based
on the theoretical and experimental results, the
proposed ballast is suitable for the HID lamps. |
