Research of Ignitor and Noise Rejuction for Electronic Ballast of MHD Lamp

MHD 램프용 전자식 안정기의 점화기 및 소음제거에 관한 연구

Today there is an ever increasing effort to control high-pressure discharge lamps with electronic ballast. HID lamps can be ignited by high-voltage pulses and need an ignitor to start them. An ignitor gives high-voltage pulses to HID lamps which have the type of the arc discharge. Three kinds of ignitor circuits have been analyzed by the P-spice program and we have shown experimental results in this paper. The result of this study seems to be able to help to develope various ignitors.
