Fluorescent lamp ballast using piezoelectric transformer were fabricated and its characteristic was investigated. Traditional electronic ballast is composed of basic blocks, which are composed of rectifier, power factor corrector and resonant inverter fluorescent lamp. The proposed electronic ballast has several advantages accordingly, traditional ballast was replaced fabricated electronic ballast using piezo electronic transformer and VCO oscillated, because of its lighter weight, high efficiency and saving energy.

The use of arc tubes made of ceramic material further enhanced some of the metal halide lamp's properties. These properties translate into higher efficacy with better color rendering, stable color through lamp long life. Recently, due to an increase in the application of the ceramic metal-halide lamp, the study for the property etc. according to Ballast's driving scheme and the study for arc tube material, optimization of gas and so on are being proceeded to improve the property of the lamp. Especially, to control ceramic metal-halide lamp, the vigorous study and practical use with respect to Electronic Ballast, which has been improved in the disadvantages of the conventional Magnetic Ballast are made. In this paper, Electrical characteristics and gas insulation destroy time are analyzed by comparing magnetic ballast with electronic ballast.

An electronic ballast and magnetic ballast are two major types of ballasts used in HID(High Intensity Discharge) lamp. Compared with magnetic ballasts which can last for over 30 years and are recyclable at the end of their long lifetime, electronic ballasts have very short lifetimes due to the use of the electronic devices. In this paper, we developed a magnetic ballast for dual lamps and analyzed electrical characteristics and efficiency. As the experimental results, we confirm that the magnetic ballast for dual lamps makes it possible to effectively reduce current, active and reactive powers than conventional ballast.

This paper proposes fluorescent electronic ballast with high power factor and low line input current harmonics. The system performance can be improved by a charged pump circuit. Details of design and circuit operation are described. The proposed electronic ballast is modified from single-stage half bridge class D electronic ballast by adding capacitor parallel with each power switch and setting the circuit parameter to operate under class DE inverter condition. By using this proposed method the DC bus voltage can be reduced around by 50% compare with conventional class D inverter circuit. Because the power switches are operated at zero voltage switching condition and low dv/dt of class DE switching. The experimental results show that the proper frequency of the prototype is around 50 kHz with input power factor of 0.982, $THD_i$ 10.2% at full load and efficiency of more than 90%.

In this paper, it has been proposed the simultaneous controller of electronic ballast and PFC(power factor corrector) for fluorescent lamp by one chip micro-controller. Boost DC-DC converter is adopted for PFC, and half bridge inverter for electronic ballast. It controls, simultaneously and independently, the boost DC-DC converter and the half bridge inverter. As electronic ballast and PFC are controlled by one chip micro-controller, it is possible to achieve the cheaper controller for fluorescent lamp. Experimental result has shown the feasibility of the proposed simultaneous controller of PFC and electronic ballast.

Fluorescent lamp operated at high frequency by the electronic ballast provide ballasts like unnoticed flicker effect and higher luminous efficiency. This paper presents analysis of Half-Bridge type resonant inverter for Fluorescent lamp drive for stable characteristic and life improvement of lamp operated at high frequency. Also, it has described an electronic ballast design with the capability of high PF (Power Factor) and low THD (Total Harmonic Distortion). The validity of designed electronic ballast circuit is confirmed by simulation and experimental results. The Designed electronic ballast is implemented successfully on 32W Fluorescent lamp system.

In this paper, electronic ballast using resonant inverter for HID lamp is designed and implemented. The proposed electronic ballast is used the soft switching technology ZVS(Zero Voltage Switching) to reduce turn-on and turn-off loss. The ignition of proposed electronic ballast is achieved by controlling a full bridge inverter which is consisted of LC filter for resonance. After ignition the ballast operates as a low frequency square wave inverter by controlling a full bridge inverter as a buck converter. After ignition at resonant frequency of $f_o$=160kHz, the switching frequency of a buck converter is consisted of 50kHz of high frequency and 170Hz of low frequency. This is for attenuating high frequency harmonics and avoiding acoustic resonance. The experimental results show that electronic ballast using resonant inverter is operated stably.

An electronic ballast with automatic identification between HPS and MH lamps is proposed in this paper. The behavior of the lamp impedance is studied at both cold-starting and warm-starting. Lamp identification is carried out by taking into account the rate of impedance changing at constant current driving mode just after ignition. The ballast consists of 8-bit microcontroller and LCC resonant inverter.

본 논문은 선로의 성질에 의한 HID 램프용 안정기의 특성에 대하여 측정 및 분석하였다. 이그니션 전압과 정상 상태의 전압과 전류는 선로의 길이 및 특성에 따라 다르다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 저주파 구동방식 전자식 안정기, 고주파 구동방식 전자식 안정기, 자기식 안정기를 케이블 25[m], 100[m] 거리에서 측정 및 분석 하였다. 여러 종류의 안정기 및 케이블에 대하여 측정 및 분석한 결과에 의해 측정된 안정기들 중 저주파수로 구동되는 전자식 안정기가 가장 적합하고 선간의 캐패시턴스 성분이 중요하다는 결론을 얻었다.
