Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to determine circuit parameters in the inverter part of the electronic dimming ballast for fluorescent lamps, that is adequate to use with the prevailing dimming controller IC. Firstly, the operating frequency characteristics are investigated by varying circuit parameters of electronic ballasts and are matched with the output characteristics of dimming ballast controller. Secondly, circuit parameter values are determined by using PSpice simulation and operating frequency characteristics. Finally its validity is verified from the electrical and light output characteristics on the prototype of the electronic dimming ballast.
