An ignition circuit is proposed for the electronic ballast of high-intensity discharge (HID)
lamps. The igniter can be integrated into the bridge inverter by commonly using the power …

It takes a lot of effort to ignite discharge lamps with high ignition voltages but a high
frequency operation after the ignition phase makes it even more complicated. In this case …

Metal halide lamps (MHLs) have serious acoustic resonance problem. The most widely used
method to achieve acoustic-resonance free is to use low-frequency square wave (LFSW) …

In this paper, the dimming and frequency effects on stability, current crest factor (CCF), and
power factor (PF) of high-intensity discharge lamps fed with square waveforms are …

This paper presents a novel control strategy for a two-stage acoustic resonance free
electronic ballast for high intensity discharge (HID) lamp. The ballast consists of a PFC …

Metal halide lamps have very serious acoustic resonance problem. The most widely used
method to achieve acoustic-resonance free is low-frequency square-wave electronic ballast …

This paper presents the design of a high power-density igniter with integrated LC resonator
for low wattage HID lamp ballasts. Electromagnetic integration technology is applied to …

In this paper, the use of input current shaper converters (ICSCs) working in discontinuous-
conduction mode to stabilize the discharge arc in high intensity discharge lamps without …

A practical method to reduce device strain in the ballast prior to the discharge process (at the
high voltage stage) is presented. An ignitor for high-intensity discharge lamps based on …

This paper presents the design of a high-power-density igniter with integrated LC resonator
for low-wattage high-intensity discharge lamp ballasts. Electromagnetic integration …
