    摘要: An electronic ballast for hot cathode discharge lamp comprises a DC voltage source, a chopper, and an inverter. The chopper includes a switching element connected in series with an inductor across the DC voltage and driven to turn on and off for providing a periodically interrupted voltage which is smoothed by a capacitor to produce a smoothed DC voltage as a chopper output. The inverter includes at least one switching element which is coupled to the chopper output to produce therefrom a high frequency AC voltage as an inverter output to be applied to cathodes of the discharge lamp for lighting the discharge lamp. The ballast is characterized to include an inverter controller and a delay circuit. The inverter controller controls the inverter to operate selectively in a normal mode of providing the inverter output of a first level and in a limited mode of providing the inverter output of a second level which is lower than the first level and is determined to give a preheating current to the cathodes. The delay circuit delays the start-up of the inverter for a time period from the start-up of the chopper. The inverter controller controls the inverter to operate in the limited mode after the start-up of the inverter for a predetermined period for preheating the discharge lamp after which the inverter controller allows the inverter to operate in the normal operation mode for lighting the discharge lamp.

    摘要: A inverter AC power supply comprises a chopper connected to receive an AC voltage from a low frequency AC voltage source to provide a smoothed DC voltage, and an inverter providing a high frequency AC voltage from the smoothed DC voltage for driving a load. The chopper includes an inductor and a series connected pair of first and second switching elements which alternately turn on and off for periodically interrupting an input AC voltage to store a resulting energy to the inductor which is subsequently released to charge a smoothing capacitor to give a smoothed DC voltage there across. The inverter shares the first and second switching elements with the chopper and comprises a L-C resonant circuit which is connected across one of the first and second switching elements together with the load to provide an oscillating voltage as the high frequency AC voltage to the load. A self-excitation control circuit is included in the inverter to acknowledge a change in the oscillating voltage. The self-excitation control circuit is connected to control terminals of the first and second switching elements in order to alternately turn on and off the first and second switching elements in response to the change in the oscillating voltage.

    摘要: A power supply for driving one or more loads includes a DC voltage source, an inverter connected to the DC voltage source for providing a high frequency AC voltage at its output end, and an output transformer having a primary winding and a secondary winding. The primary winding is coupled to the output end of the inverter through a tuning inductor, while the secondary winding is coupled to the load. A tuning capacitor, which constitutes a resonant circuit in cooperation with the resonance inductance for supplying a resonance current to the load, is connected across the secondary winding of the output transformer in parallel relation to the load. The tuning capacitor is arranged in circuit on the opposite side of the secondary winding from the load such that the tuning capacitor is open-circuited when the load is disconnected from the secondary winding.
