The T-5 Lamps developed in 1996 is the high efficiency fluorescent lamps, the lamps voltage is high, and the lamps current small because the lamps are slender tube of 16mm diameter. And so, the electrical characteristics of the Ballast for the lamps are different from of the Ballast for T-10 or T-8 lamps. Therefore, the know-how of the exclusive Ballast for the T-5 fluorescent lamps should be as soon as possible. We described the electrical and optical characteristics of the Electronic Ballast for T-5 Circular Fluorescent lamps. The developed Electronic dimming Ballast for T-5 Circular Fluorescent lamps has the 45% energy saving effects than the T-10 lamps. And it has the promotion of the THD less than 10%, CF less than 1.5%, Flickering less than 5% and 99% power factor. And it is available for two T-5 Circular fluorescent Lamps dimming, 22W and 40W.

The conventional Three-Stage electronic ballast is stable, but Two-Stage electronic ballast has been researching because of efficiency. Three-Stage electronic ballast is consisted of PFC circuit, buck converter, and inverter circuit, but Two-stage is consisted of PFC circuit, Buck-Inverter full bridge circuit. The Buck-Inverter full bridge inverter consists of two half bridge inverters for low frequency switching, and high frequency switching. In the case of street lamp it is far from a lamp to a ballast, the conventional pulsed high voltage ignitor can not turn on the HID lamps because of reduction of ignition voltage. Therefore, it needs to do the research on a resonant ignition to turn on the HID lamps. Therefore, in the Two-Stage electronic ballast which has the resonant tank for ignition, the transient resonant current because of low frequency changing is analyzed, the novel algorithm is proposed to resuce the transient current.

A novel low-cost simple and unity-power-factor electronic ballast is presented. The proposed electronic ballast employs a bypassing capacitor and load networks composed of ballast capacitors and small charge pump capacitors as power factor correction circuit combined with the secondary winding of the transformer in the self-excited current-fed push-pull resonant inverter(CF-PPRI) resulting in cost-effectiveness and higher efficiency. By analyzing the principles of power factor correction mathematically optimum design guidelines are presented. Since the lamps are used in power factor correction stage the input power is automatically adjusted according to the number of the lamps.

This paper presents a microprocessor controlled electronic ballast for HID lamps, which gives automatic switching between MH and HPS lamps. Lamp identification is carried out by checking variation of lamp impedance at warm-up phase. Direct spread spectrum is done by applying 1 kHz triangular wave for removing acoustic resonance. This frequency modulation of 1 kHz gives also low EMI level. The microprocessor controls the voltage of DC-bus, the voltage of ignition pulses, the power of output. A 250W electronic ballast is implemented with ATmega16 CPU.

A CCFL model for high frequency dimming electronic ballast simulation is presented in this paper. The model can be utilized for an electronic ballast simulation with continuous dimming and transient mode simulation such as step dimming. The piezoelectric transformer Is evaluated using an AC analysis. The electronic ballast composed of piezoelectric transformers and ZVS inverter was implemented. It enables a fluorescent lamp to be fumed on stably. Simulation of a high frequency electronic ballast which operates a fluorescent Imp at high frequency is proposed. Simulation is carried out using PSPICE program to illustrate the performance of the circuit

This paper presents the electronic ballast for the metal halide lamp with free voltage input and implemented for CDM-T[150W] lamp. HID lamps have a good color rendition, long life and good focusing capability but they have fickers by acoustic resonance when driven at high frequency. To reduce the acoustic resonance phenomena, the electronic ballast was designed for high frequency operation with the constant frequency sinusoidal wave of 75[kHz]. Finally, the experimental results on the ballast of CDM-T [150W]metal halide lamp with the propose methods are discussed.

This paper presents a new control method for the high frequency electronic ballast which is operated with raw rectified dc link using diode bridge. For the commercial electronic ballast, proper ac input power factor and crest factor of the lamp current are required. The most ballast, therefore, has a active or passive power factor collection (PFC) circuit. With the proposed method, it can be achieved simultaneously that grater than 0.9 of input power factor and less than 1.85 of lamp current crest factor without any PFC circuit. In this paper, the proposed ballast control scheme and the experimental results for the application to the fluorescent lamp are described.

본 논문에서는 Buck Converter 동작 원리를 이용한 Full-Bridge Inverter를 제안하였다. 제안한 Full-Bridge Inverter는 왼쪽 브리지와 오른쪽 브리지의 구동 주파수를 각각 저주파와 고주파로 구동하여 Buck Converter의 동작과 유사하게 하였다. 동작은 두 가지 모드로 구분되며, 이로 인해 램프에 저주파수 구형파를 인가한다. 램프를 저주파수 구형파로 구동하여 음향공명현상을 피하게 되었으며, 고주파 스위칭으로 인덕터의 부피를 줄였다. 제안한 방법은 시뮬레이션을 통해 증명하였다.

In this paper, Electronic ballast for multiple fluorescent lamps based on the use of ferrite beads are presented. The use of this system in place of the conventional electromagnetic ballast results in lower power consumption and reduced maintenance cost, because the electronic system has higher efficiency and longer lamp lifetime than the electromagnetic ballast. In comparison with the conventional electronic ballast. The proposed system presents a significant reduction of cost. This reduction becomes were meaningful with the growing of the lamp number. The description of the lighting system, We show that the proposed model can be applied to multiple lamps electronic ballast by simulation processes.
