Abstract

In this paper, a new design using a simulation method was proposed. And to estimate its validity, various electronic and optical data were measured after making a 150[W] electronic ballast for high pressure sodium lamps. Using PSpice 9.1, the best solutions of various parameters such as the resonant frequency, the lamp output voltage, and the current of the electronic ballast were obtained. The power factor of the system was 99.8[%], the crest factor 1.44, the THD 4.99[%], and the weight 0.5[kg]. These are very good characteristics compared with a conventional HPS Lamp ballast.
