In this paper, to control with light dimming levels of the fluorescent lamps, we have used the power line instead of the signal line to transmit the control signals. To reduce the BER(Bit Error Rate) on the power line communication with the serious noise interferences. We have adapted the FSK(Frequency Shift Keying) modulation and demodulation technique. Since the electronic ballast produced the EMI(ElctroMagnetic Interference) noise in some frequency bands, we have reduced the EMI levels in the band below -50dB. By varying the switching frequency of the ballast for the FL032/T8 from 18kHz to 25kHz, it is possible that the dimming levels are controled with the range of 5∼100%

The International Maritime Organization (IMO) has adopted the ballast water management convention at a diplomatic conference in early 2004 that all ships should be equipped with a treatment system from 2010 gradually. In this paper, the disinfection characteristic of ultra-violet (UV) rays was studied and a ballast water treatment system (BWTS) which can treat $50m^3$/h sea water was manufactured. The system consists of a disinfection chamber with six 3.5 kW UV lamps which are operated by magnetic ballasts, a programmable logic controller (PLC) and set of pipe lines. The biological disinfection efficacy of the prototype BWTS was evaluated following the IMO rules using zooplankton such as Artemia and Rotifer species for the size over $50{\mu}m$, and phytoplankton such as Tetraselmis and Thalassiosira species for the size between 10 to $50{\mu}m$. From the experimental results, the disinfection efficacy was 99.99 % that meets the IMO requirement. However, more studies on an energy saving system are needed because the consumption power of the prototype system is as high as over 21 kWh for $50m^3$/h.

In recent, ceramic metal halide lamps that use the ceramic in arc tube material have the advantage of high rendering index, high efficacy, long life. According to increase applications, the research continue to improve various factor that is arc tube material, optimization of gas and metal halide. In oder to improve system characteristics of CMH Lamp with ceramic arc tube, when operating CMH lamp with magnetic and electronics ballast, we compared with electrical, optical characteristics in this paper.

In this paper, the requirements for the HID lamp igniter transformer capable of hot strike are described. A small size high voltage (HV) transformer composed of a Rod type ferrite core and aluminum foil is designed. The Electro Magnetic characteristics are simulated with Finite Element Methodology (FEM). The design guideline of the HV transformer that produces an output voltage with a peak value of 25kV and a pulse width of larger than loons for a 35W automotive HID ballast prototype is discussed as an illustrative example.

For the measurement of liquid level in ship's cargo tank, ballast tank, fuel oil tank and fresh water tank, several types of gauge meter are used such as tubular type, magnetic float type, reflex type transparent type and welding pad type. Among them, magnetic float type gauge meter is environmental friendly device because it is free of power source and maintenance. The main obstacle of the device is relatively large error bound. In this paper, finite element method is used to design and analysis of the magnetic float type gauge meter. The operation of reed switch according to the magnetic field has been successfully described and agreed well with experimental measurement. The optimum geometry with combination of permanent magnet and reed switches are designed to achieve 98 % accuracy of fluid level.

As products using LEDs are developed actively, also there has been large request for LED products that can replace traditional lamps like fluorescent lamps and metal halide lamps. But so far there is no proper standard that manufacturer can use and test it. As a result manufacturer can't develop retrofit LED lamps and sell it even they have technology. In this study, by analyzing control gear for fluorescent lamp that is currently used in market which is magnetic or electronic ballast, I'd like to develop proper test method by investigating compatibility between all-type control gear and LED retrofit products.

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.
