This paper presents the analysis, design and simulation of a digital control strategy for an electronic ballast to supply a 100 W high frequency Electrodeless Fluorescent Lamp (EFL). The electronic topology consists of a single-stage SEPIC power-factor converter associated with a half-bridge asymmetric LCC resonant inverter. In this configuration, the dimming capability based on a low-frequency burst-mode...
This paper presents the design and development of an electronic ballast for electrodeless fluorescent lamps operating at 250 kHz. In this system, a dimming control based on a low-frequency modulated PWM signal is proposed. The topology is composed of a Single-Ended Primary-Inductance Converter (SEPIC), used as power factor correction stage, integrated with a resonant half-bridge inverter, used as...
This paper presents a comparative analysis of dimmable self-oscillating electronic ballast for fluorescent lamps. A review of general dimming methods presented in the literature is performed. A general analysis of each dimming method is made, and the operation with power factor correction was considered in order to evaluate the characteristic of each topology and to define other circuits more adequate...
This paper presents an electronic ballast to operate HO fluorescent lamps with power ratings of 24 W, 39 W and 49 W. The proposed circuit detects the lamp type by its operation voltage and sets duty cycle of the power factor correction circuit to adequate the output power. Experimental results are shown to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed solution.
The use of the electrodeless fluorescent lamps has been increasing, because of their features such as lifetime and lumen efficiency, when compared to conventional fluorescent and high pressure sodium lamps. The single-stage high-power-factor electronic ballast for electrodeless fluorescent lamp with dimming feature is presented on this paper. It is obtained by integrating a SEPIC converter with a...
This paper presents electronic ballast with dimming capability supplying a 32 W fluorescent lamp. The electronic ballast is a self-oscillating driving circuit and an additional circuit responsible to dimming the fluorescent lamp using a lighting dependent resistor. This luminous sensor measures the luminous flux level and set the lamp power through the voltage gain variation of the resonant filter...
