본 논문은 고압 나트륨 램프용 전자식 안정기의 회로 특성을 보다 효율적이고 경제적으로 비교 평가하기 위해, Pspice를 이용하여 전자식 안정기 구동회로를 시뮬레이션하고 이를 실제 안정기 출력과 비교한 논문이다. 본 논문에서 사용한 방식은 공진형 인버터를 이용한 Half-Bridge Inverter 구조의 자려식 구동방식으로서 실제 안정기의 동작 특성과 같은 시뮬레이션 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.

This paper presents the PFC method for an electronic ballast using SEPIC converter. Generally, the Boost Converter Type PFC has a DC 400V and output voltage is a bigger than input rms voltage. But the SEPIC type converter has above 0.95 Power Factor and wanted output voltage. This paper employs the SEPIC(Single Ended Primary Inductance Converter) Converter for PFC and the Ring core for oscillating method. Consequently, We reduced element's size and capacity in a converter with minimum voltage for the operating lamp.

A fast switching gate driver suitable for high performance self resonant electronic ballasts is presented. The proposed gate driver has negligible switching loss and driving loss owing to pnpn structure and zero voltage switching( ZVS ); moreover, the gate driver has frequency control capability. Therefore, a self resonant inverter using proposed gate driver can operate as external exciting resonant inverters. The experiments confirm that the proposed gate driver perform the desired operations over full power control range for 40W fluorescent lamp electronic ballast.

A regenerative signal amplifying gate driver of self-excited electronic ballast is presented. It can be used for high pressure sodium (HPS) lamp without auxiliary external ignitor. Since the HPS lamp requires very high ignition voltage at start up, the resonant frequency of the circuit must be increased to obtain high voltage oscillations in spite of relatively small resonant current. The presented gate driver amplifies the current of gate drive transformer and raises the gate-source voltage Quickly to turn on the MOSFET switches. Hence, the resonant frequency can be increased more than 100kHz. The HPS lamp used in the simulation and experiment has the rating of 400W input power at 220V input ac voltage source. The experiments show that the resonant frequency is above 150kHz at start up.

This paper designed electronic ballast inverter circuit using the PSpice simulation and it compared with practical ballast about electrical characteristics. Used electronic ballast driving type is self-exciting half bridge inverter we have got much the same electrical result both simulation and experiment of practical electronic ballast.
