    摘要: A high frequency electronic ballast for main loads, such as an HID lamp, includes a regulated low voltage output to drive auxiliary loads. A low voltage microcontroller generates a low voltage drive signal in response to voltage and frequency of a high voltage power supply. A switch operably connected to the high voltage power supply and responsive to the low voltage drive signal provides the regulated low voltage output to drive the auxiliary devices, such as a back-up incandescent lamp and/or an insulation detector. In one embodiment, the low voltage output may be responsive to the HID lamp power, e.g., a control signal from a ballast microcontroller, so that the back-up incandescent lamp is energized when the HID lamp is not providing sufficient illumination.

The output terminals of the ballast connect to the load in parallel with another ballast circuit. The ballast circuit is configured to supply the output AC current to the load in parallel with an AC current output of the other ballast circuit. A synchronization module attached at the output is adapted for synchronizing the output alternating current (AC) of the ballast circuit with the AC current output of the other ballast circuit. The synchronization module is configured to synchronize phase of the output alternating current with phase of the AC current output of the other ballast circuit.
