Abstract |
Characteristics of electrodeless lamp as a load of the ballast are different compared to normal fluorescent lamp because the lamp includes an inductance due to coupling magnetics for inductive discharging process. This increased parameter makes the development of self-oscillation type ballast more complex and time consuming. Practical simulation method for an easy design of self-oscillation type ballast, especially for Endura lamp, is presented by using a model and various analysis of simulation. Results of experiment are given for a verification of proposed method. |
