The Development of Electronic Ballast for HPS Lamp

고압 나트륨등 구동용 전자식 안정기 개발

This paper deals with the design of the HPS electronic ballast, which consists of the ignitor for turning-up and the resonant converter for driving the lamp. Also it contains Power Factor Controller to improve the electronic efficiencies such as power factor, crest factor, low distortion, etc. To make this circuit, it is necessary to simulate it on the computer before we implement it actually. In this paper, we try to modelize the HPS lamp and ballast, and have experiments with 150 watt-HPS lamp from Kwangjunsa.
