최근 수요가 급증한 36W 단일 캡 형광램프의 과열로 인하여 화재의 위험성이 대두되고 있다. 단일 캡 형광램프는 이중 캡에 형광램프에 비하여 길이가 작아 다루기가 쉽고, 관 지름이 작아 고효율의 형광램프로 인식되고 있다. 그러나 한쪽방향에 전극을 가지고 있어 열 분산 면에서 이중 캡에 비하여 열 축적 가능성이 크고, 수명말기에 전극필라멘트가 열에 의해 소실되었을 경우 관경이 작아 필라멘트 지지 스템(stem)의 길이가 가까워 고속스위칭의 전자식안정기를 적용한 시스템에서 완전히 개방되지 않고 임피던스의 상승만을 가져올 수 있다. 이로 인하여 캡의 열화에 의한 분리가 일어나고, 화재의 원인이 될 수 있다. 이러한 현상은 형광등의 수명 말기에 발생하는데 본 논문에서는 형광등의 수명말기 현상을 모델링하여 단일 캡 36W 형광램프의 수명 말기에 발생하는 과열에 관한 시험방법에 대하여 시험 연구 하였다.

This paper deals with the design criteria and conduction noise reduction of electronic ballast system which is based on half-bridge series inverters. The system is theoretically analyzed in six modes and operating frequency range is selected to obtain the high efficacy and no sound noise. It is proposed the criteria for determining the values of L and C which are the dey points in system design Because of high operating frequency, electromagnetic noise, especially conduction noise, is a serious problem in electronic ballasts. To reduce the conduction noise, the operation and attenuation characteristics of noise filter are analyzed and the method to determine the values of filter elements is proposed. Also, the parasitic components of the inductor and capacitor are taken into consideration in filter analysis. Digital simulations and experiments are carried out to prove the theoretical results. And perfor mances of the system are verified through tests.

The most shortcoming of metalhalide lamps is what the instant restarting cannot be realized when the arc tube is in the hot condition. The discharge starting voltage of arc tube in the hot condition is much higher than in the cold condition. Therefore it takes about five minutes to restart the metalhalide lamps, that is to say, it is possible to start when the pressure and the temperature are decreased. But, if the lamp is restarted in the hot condition, we must supply the high voltage pulse with 20kV at the both sides of lamp. The proposed electronic ballast is consist of a electromagnetic interference (EMI) filter, a power factor correction (PFC) circuit, a flyback converter, a half-bridge inverter, and a high voltage igniter circuit. By this composition we can restart the lamp with the voltage 20kV, even if the lamp is in the hot condition.

This paper presents an electronic ballast using a novel complex modulation method for the metal halide lamp. The proposed modulation method, which has a modulating signal of swept complex frequency, can eliminate the acoustic resonance more effectively than the conventional modulation method, which has a modulating signal of constant frequency. For the purpose of future application specific integrated circuits (ASIC). the controller of the proposed ballast has been designed only with erasable programmable logic devices (EPLDs), but without a microprocessor. In this paper, detailed proposed modulation schemes are described and experimental results on the proto type 150W metal halide lamp ballast with the proposed modulation method ate discussed.

In this paper, We proposed electronic ballast that applys Buck Converter operation principle to Full-Bridge inverter. The proposed ballast consists of an EMI Filter, a full-bridge rectifier, a passive power factor correction (PFC) circuit and a full-bridge inverter. The passive PFC is used and a Full-Bridge inverter operation by two frequency. High Side and Low Side switch was driven by high frequency and low frequency and realized buck Converter's operation. The lamp is driven by Low Frequency square wave to avoid Acoustic Resonance. Also, bulk of inductor is reduced by high frequency switching. Performance of the proposed ballast was validated through computer simulation using Pspice, experimentation and by applying it to an electronic ballast for a prototype 700W MHL.

In this paper, In order to solve the problem is proposed using a new type of electronic ballast that the traditional magnetic ballasts operated at 50-60Hz have been suffered from noticeable flicker, high loss, large crest factor and heavy weight which is composed of rectifier, active power corrector, series resonant half bridge inverter, micro-controller and piezoelectric transformer for driving for driving T5 fluorescent lamp were manufactured. The proposed electronic ballast operated at high frequency (about 75kHz) shows a input power factor of more than 0.995, total harmonic distortion of less than $12\%$ and lamp current crest factor of less than 1.5, respectively. Output power and efficiency showed 28w and $85\%$, respectively. Accordingly, it is considered that the ballast using piezoelectric transformer can replace the typical electronic ballast.

에너지수요관리는 경제성장과 환경문제의 딜레마를 동시에 구체적으로 해결해주는 방법으로 대두되고 있으며 세계적인 추세이기도 하다. 에너지수요관리를 통하여 우리나라는 총에너지수요의 22.3%(20.4백만 TOE)와 $CO_2$배출량의 18.7%를 줄일 수 있을 것으로 추정된다. 수요관리의 잠재량은 산업과 수송부문이 많으나 순편익은 상업과 가정부문이 높은 것으로 나타나 이 부문에 대한 우선적인 지원이 요구된다. 그러나, 절감잠재량은 산업부문과 수송부문에 80%이상 달려있으므로 이 부문에 대한 수요관리가 궁극적으로 중요하다. 그러나 이 분야는 구조적인 측면에서의 개선이 많이 요구되고 효과가 장기에 걸쳐 일어나므로 지금부터의 실시가 중요하며 지속적인 정책 추진이 필요하다. 투자의 효율성은 전력부문이 높게 나타나고 절전에는 산업부문의 전동기의 개선이 가정 효과적이며 환경오염저감효과도 가장 큰 것으로 추정된다. 최대부하를 줄이는 데는 조명기기의 전자식안정기나 전구식형광등으로의 개체가 효과적이다. 순편익은 냉장고, 세탁기 등이 높으나 절대 절감량이 작아 정책의 효과를 기대하기에는 한계가 있다. 반면, 열병합발전, 단열 및 폐자원활용은 세탁기, 에어콘 등에 비해 단위저감순편익은 낮으나 절감잠재량이 상대적으로 크기 때문에, 실질절감효과를 거두기 위해서는 이 분야에 대한 수요관리도 중요한 것으로 분석된다.

MetalHalid lamps have good efficiency, good color rendition and good focusing capability. But the shortcoming of metalhalid lamps is blown as acoustic resonance phenomena in the arc tube. Such acoustic resonance produce annoying fluctuations in the intensity and distribution of the emitted light, they can raise the voltage to the point where the arc is extinguished and they can move the arc close enough to the wall to cause local overheating and tube cracking. The objective of this research is to reduce acoustic resonance in the arc tube of the Pulse Start MetaIHaide lamp(MH200[W]). To reduce the acoustic resonance phenomena the electronic ballast was designed for high frequency operation with the constant frequency sinusoidal wave of 89[kHz] in the 84.6[kHz]∼94.2[kHz] range. Experimental results show that the acoustic resonance phenomena are not in the arc tube of Pulse Start MetalHalide lamp (MH200[W]) .

The high frequency fluorescnet lighting systems are widely used because of their high luminous efficacy. However, the performance of the fluorescnet lamp at high frequency reveals significant changes depending upon operating frequency, lamp shape, lamp voltage and current while adapting either an electronic or an magnetic ballast. Therefore the matching between the fluorescent lamp and the ballast is the major concern in designing a lighting system. In this paper, high frequency characteristics of the FHF32W lamp is measured in a range of frequencies from 12kHz to 50kHz. And we presented a model of a fluorescnet lamp with non-linear impedance depending on the lamp current. Finally, after identifying the operating condition under negative imped¬ance behavior as lamp current changing, we proposed a method of choosing the optimal parameter of a high frequency fluorescnet lamp and the result is analyzed.
