Arc lamps are now widely utilized as illumination sources for a large number of investigations in wide-field fluorescence microscopy. Among many power converters for the lamp, the PSFB (Phase-Shift Full-Bridge) converter with the ZVS (Zero Voltage Switching) is the most widely used soft switched circuit in high-power applications. Also, in the most luminaries, the power factor has to be more and more important. Thus, the power factor correction(PFC) must be included in the power system. A new igniter module using the switching power device and the transformer is proposed instead of the conventional igniter using the mechanical contactor. The proposed converter with the high power factor and high efficiency is verified through the experimental works.

메탈핼라이드 램프의 가장 큰 단점중 하나는 아크튜브가 뜨거운 상태에서는 순시 재점등이 불가능하다는 것이다. 메탈핼라이드 램프의 점등중 고온의 아크튜브는 초기 램프가 차가운 상태에서의 방전 전압보다 재점등 방전전압이 높아 재점등 시키는데 압력과 온도가 감소되어지는 약5분정도의 시간이 소요 된다. 만약 램프가 뜨거운 상태에서 재점등시키려면 램프전극 양단에 약20[kV] 이상의 높은 전압펄스를 공급해야한다. 따라서 이러한 목적의 전자식 안정기는 EMII필터, PFC회로, 플라이백 컨버터, 하프브리지 인버터, 고전압 이그나이터 회로로 구성되는데 이것은 순시점등은 물론 램프가 뜨거운 상태에서도 20[kV]의 전압으로 램프를 점등/재점등 할 수 있다.

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.

본 논문은 반도체 소자의 사용없이 구성된 LC 공진 타입의 점화기를 분석하고 설계하였다. 일반적으로 사용되고 있는 점화기는 다이악, 아크갭, SCR과 같은 반도체 소자가 사용된다. 이러한 반도체 소자의 사용으로 인해 회로의 구성이 복잡해지며 신뢰성이 저하된다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 수동 소자로만 구성된 점화기 회로를 분석 및 설계하였으며 제안한 점화기는 램프의 정상 상태에서는 영향을 미치지 않는다. 수학적 분석, 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션과 1[kW] 메탈 핼라이드 램프용 전자식 안정기를 제작하여 실제 적용해 봄으로서 제안한 점화기의 유용함을 증명하였다.

A triggered sparkp gap switch was fabricater and its high-voltage discharge characteristics were studied. The switch is composed of two main electrodes and one trigger electrode which is placed perpendicular to the main one. Spark gap distance was fixed by 25 mm. This device has been operated without self firing at the pulse repetition frequency from 1 to 20 Hz limited by the charging current, and the hold-off voltage from 10 to 30kV. An IGBT switch and igniter coil (originally used in a car) were adopted for a trigger circuit. In this article preliminary switch characteristics of the spark gap switch are reported with the emphasis on the description of the trigger circuit.

This paper proposes an effective drive of high intensity discharge (HID) lamp ballast for cars. All control functions of the proposed ballast are implemented using a low-cost single chip microcontroller, PIC16C73 to optimize the total system size and to minimize cost through minimization of total component number. The proposed ballast generates high open-circuit voltage to ignite the lamp and is controlled to supply effectively the power required to shorten warm-up period after the breakdown. The DC-DC converter of the DC-AC converter part of the ballast utilizes the flyback converter topology that can minimize component number. Also, because to more minimize the ballast size, the transformer size must be minimized, for this, PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) pulses are generated with high frequency using the PWM module of the microcontroller. An analysis for this is explained, briefly. As if the operation of the lamp and ballast arrives at steady-state, then the ballast must AC-control the lamp, for this, the microcontroller utilizes the other PWM module. And the part related to the igniter is explained, briefly. It is shown through experimental results that the controller of the proposed ballast has good performance for the HID lamp for cars.

This paper describes about the circuit design and test of the electronic Arm Fire Device. Electronic arm fire device consists of igniter, circuit and housing case and it operates without the actuator such as torque motor or solenoid. A high-voltage DC-DC converter was used to generate the voltage for initiating the LEEFI(Low Energy Exploding Foil Initiator). The MEMS switch was used to detect the acceleration that occurs when missile is launched, and the circuit was designed considering the size, performance, and specification of the electronic devices. The performance test was conducted to verify the designed circuit and we confirmed that it operates well.

In this paper, in order to develop a simple and high efficient ballast without an external igniter, a half-bridge type ballast with a coupled inductor and a frequency controlled synchronous rectifier is proposed. The internal LC resonance of the buck converter is used In generate a high voltage pulse for the ignition, and the coupled inductor filter is used for steady state ripple cancellation. Also, a synchronous buck converter is applied for the DC/DC converter stage. In order to improve the efficiency of the ballast, a frequency control method is proposed. This scheme reduces a circulation current and turn off loss of the MOSFET switch on the constant power operation, which results in increase of the efficiency of the ballast system about $4\%$, compared to a fixed frequency control. It consists a 2-stage version ballast with a PFC circuit. The results are verified with hardware experiments.
