HID 조명램프에 의해 방사되는 전자파를 1GHz에서 2.5GHz 대역에서 측정하였다. 이 대역의 전자파적합성 규격은 정해져 있지 않으나, 각종 전파기기의 장해요인으로 대두될 수있다. 본 측정 결과는 방전등의 특성으로 인해 시간별로 차이가 매우 크게 발생됨을 확인할 수 있었다.

We developed the electronic ballast for the street HID lames with the leakage current detection and circuit breaker function. By detecting the leakage current and breaking the system we are protected from the electric shock and the ballast is safe from the electric damage at the time of the continuous reignition state.

A newly developed high intensity discharge (HID) automotive headlamp results in a high luminous gradient at the cutoff line, and proves the superior concept in safer and more com-fortable nighttime driving. This new headlamp technology Provides drivers expanded night vision by a significantly improved light pattern. However, the HID headlamp may dazzle other traffics during traversing a rough road or encountering an unexpected bump. To resolve this problem, an automatic headlamp leveling device is necessary. A preview control is presented for the design of the leveling system. The proposed control algorithm is capable of attenuating a dynamic glare which is one of the major detractors to a driving in dark roads. Computer simulations using ADAMS are carried out to confirm the effectiveness on the control system.

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.

HID 램프란 High Intensity Discharge Lamps의 약어로서 고압방전램프라 하고, 대규모 공간의 조명이 필요한 공공시설, 산업시설, 상업시설 이외에 스포츠 시설 등 폭넓은 용도에 대응하고 있다. HID 램프는 부성저항 특성으로 인하여 직접 전원에 접속하기 때문에 램프 전류가 흐르게 되면 급격히 전류가 증가하여 전류의 흐름이 매우 불안하게 된다. 따라서 이것을 안정시키기 위하여 전원과 램프사이에 전류 제한장치인 안정기(Ballast)로 램프 전류를 적절하게 제어할 필요가 있다. 본 고에서는 HID 램프에 관한 열화요인과 이에 대한 수명의 관계를 중심으로 논한다.

This paper proposed one of various acoustic resonance reduction technique for three kinds of ceramic lamps (CDM-150, HCI-150, CMH-150). To reduce the acoustic resonance in the HID lamps, the researched results showed that the frequency modulated signal with the triangle waveform is very effective in order to drive th LCC type half-bridge inverter for HID lamp. Experimental results proved that the acoustic resonance could be rejected, if the adequate switching frequency band is selected and the driving signal frequency is modulated with a triangle waveform.

In this paper, we have proposed a new dimmable magnetic ballast for HID(High Intensity Discharge) lamps consisted of AC switches to variate inductance value by using Silicon Controlled Rectifiers and the isolated zero current detector on inductor. Conventional dimming ballast has used relays or Solid State Relays in AC switches. However, a relay is difficult to zero current switching, because it has long operating time(10[ms]), and price competitiveness of SSR is very low. The proposed AC switches are suitable to switch at zero inductor current and it is accurately detected by using a opto-coupler. SCR is cheaper than SSR, and it is suitable to switch at zero inductor current because SCR is automatically turned off under holding current at no gate signal. Operating principles, simulation results and experimental results of the proposed ballast are described.

This paper presents a design techniques for an electronic ballast of HID lamps. An electronic ballast for HID lamps usually employs a high frequency resonant inverter and voltage-to-frequency converter to control the output and a half-bridge and series resonant circuit are chosen for the ballast. In this paper, the new lighting method for the stable ignition regardless of lamp types is designed. And this type of ballast has some useful functions such as surge protection, thermal protection, and dimmable function. Moreover the powerline communication skill is also used to transmit a dimming control signal.
