| Abstract |
The aim of this paper is to define a new criterion for the design of resonant inverters applied to the
control of high-pressure sodium (HPS) lamps, which is extended to metal halide (MH) lamps. Once
the effect of the ageing on the lamp is determined, the analysis is focused on the selection of the most
suitable value of the LCsCp resonant network in order to achieve a good repeatability of the circuit
performance. The study is based on the analysis of the lamp power sensitivity regarding tolerance of
circuit components. The proposed design is validated with experimental results and a statistical
simulation by the Monte Carlo method. |
