Abstract

In this study, in order to solve these problems, a new type of electronic ballast, which is composed of rectifier, active power factor corrector, series resonant half bridge inverter and piezoelectric transformer, was proposed for driving T5 fluorescent lamp. Driving of piezoelectric transformer was carried out with input region for the ring electrode and output region for the dot electrode. A 35W (T5) fluorescent lamp was successfully driven by the fabricated ballast with piezoelectric transformer.
