    摘要: A self-regulating, no load protected electronic ballast system (10) is provided which includes a power source (12) for actuating at least one gas discharge tube (66) with a regulated current and limited voltage to maintain the gas discharge tubes (66) input and output power at a predetermined value. The self-regulating, no load protected electronic ballast system (10) includes a filter circuit (11) coupled to the power source (12) with an induction circuit (15) coupled to the filter circuit (11). The induction circuit (15) has a tapped primary winding (42) providing an auto-transformer configuration for establishing the magnitude of the regulated current. The induction circuit (15) includes a trigger control winding (48) for generating a control current and further includes a no load protection circuit (99) for generating a voltage across the gas discharge tube (66) responsive to the regulated current and for maintaining the output voltage at a predetermined value when the gas discharge tube (66) is decoupled from the electronic ballast system (10). In this manner, the output voltage of the ballast system (10) is substantially reduced when the gas discharge tube (66) is electrically decoupled from the overall circuit resulting in a higher reliability and extended life of a particular gas discharge tube (66).

    摘要: A frequency stabilized automatic gain controlled ballast system (10) which is coupled to a power source (12) in order to operate at least one of a pair of gas discharge tubes (40 and 40'). Each of the gas discharge tubes (40, 40') include respective filaments (42, 44 and 42', 44'). A frequency control circuit (11) is coupled to the power source (12) and includes a frequency control transformer (43) and a frequency control capacitor (50) for establishing a constant oscillation signal at a predetermined frequency. A switching network (13) is connected to the frequency control circuit (11) for establishing a pulsating current responsive to the constant oscillation signal of predetermined frequency. Induction circuitry (15) is coupled to the switching network (13) and the frequency control circuit (11) and includes an inverter transformer (78) as well as coupling capacitors (86 and 88) for generating a voltage across the gas discharge tubes (40 and 40'). Automatic gain control circuitry (17) is included in inverter transformer (78) and is made up of a pair of secondary windings (80 and 81) wound in a manner to provide a negative feedback voltage to each of the transistors (70 and 70') of switching network (13). The inverter transformer (78) has a pair of primary windings (82 and 84) which operate alternately and are coupled to the primary winding (45) of frequency control transformer (43) to provide a repetitive cycle. First and second coupling capacitors (86 and 88) are coupled to primary windings (82 and 84) of inverter transformer (78) and filaments (42 and 42') of gas discharge tubes (40 and 40') for discharging the induced voltage across the tubes (40 and 40').

    摘要: According to the invention, a fluorescent tube is powered by a ballast system comprising a transformer connected to an AC power source via a rectifying diode. The primary winding of the transformer is connected in series with the power source and filament of the tube via a capacitor. The secondary winding of transformer is connected to in positive feed-back relation with the base (44) and emitter (42)-of a transistor. The collector of the transistor is connected to the capacitor. The second capacitor is connected in series with the transformer secondary winding to apply a pulse voltage to the second filament of the tube.

    摘要: A universal electronic ballast system (10) is provided for actuating at least one gas discharge lamp (1900) having any one of a plurality of predetermined wattage ratings. Electronic ballast system (10) includes a filter circuit coupled to an AC power mains (100,110) for substantially suppressing spurious signals passing into or from the power source. The filter circuit is coupled to a regulated switching power supply circuit (14) which generates a regulated boost voltage and draws a substantially constant in phase sinusoidal load current from the power source supplied to a switching circuit (16) which generates a regulated pulsating current at a predetermined frequency. Responsive to the regulated pulsating current a high voltage is induced in the primary windings (1710 and 1680) of induction transformer (T3). The high voltage is coupled to gas discharge lamp (1900) by means of the magnetic coupling between primary winding (1730) and secondary winding (1770) of the output transformer (T2). Universal electronic ballast system (10) monitors the presence of gas discharge lamp (1900) by means of the voltage divider (1270,1830) and protection circuit formed by diode (1490), transistors (1380) and transistors (1380 and 1440), for maintaining the switching transistor (1590) in an "off" condition by shunting the base drive signal therefrom responsive to gas discharge lamp (1900) being removed from ballast system (10).
