Abstract

Resonant-type electronic ballast for a metal halide discharge(MHD) lamp is proposed and implemented for 400W MHD lamp. HID lamps have good color rendition, long life and good focusing capability but they have flickers by acoustic resonance when driven at high frequency. A new control method is employed to remove acoustic resonance related instability in HID lamp. By using the amplitude modulation, a spread spectrum effect is employed on the ballast. The control loop of resonant inverter is analyzed and a current is designed. The ballast consists of a power factor controller, an half-bridge resonant inverter, a simple ignitor and an integrator with OP-amps. The experimental results show the good performance as PF 0.93, ballast loss 22W at output 400W and the conducted EMI level is below 60dBuV.
