The ballast discrimination test is performed by the microcontroller 100 in combination with a photodiode 30 and high/low pass filter 32. Gas integrity is tested with pulse width modulation and a high-voltage, step-up transformer (PWM/T) circuit 42 and an antenna 40. A built in continuity tester has input pins 52, 54 to test the continuity of the filaments in the fluorescent lamp 12. The antenna 40 and a voltage-divider/voltage-sensor connected to the secondary coil in the transformer test for ballast operation. A PCB conductive loop 18, rectifier 20 and op amp 22 test for line voltage.

    摘要: A detect method is provided for performing step dimming selection in an electronic ballast including an End of Lamp Life detect circuit and a half-bridge inverter, the End of Lamp Life detect circuit being connected to an input terminal of the control circuit, wherein each time when the power switch is turned on, it is judged whether the electronic ballast should enter the dimming mode or not by detecting the voltage at the input terminal of the control circuit before the half-bridge inverter starts operating.

    摘要: A dielectric barrier discharge lamp lighting apparatus includes twenty-four dielectric barrier discharge lamps, and a ballast circuit for lighting the twenty-four dielectric barrier discharge lamps which includes a DC power supply, an inverter circuit, a step-up transformer, and a lighting lamp number detecting circuit. The lighting lamp number detecting circuit detects the number of normally lighting dielectric barrier discharge lamps based on a first peek appearing right after polarity change of an approximate rectangular wave provided from the step-up transformer. When the detected number is less than a predetermined value, the operation of the ballast circuit is controlled to be stopped.

    摘要: A diagnostic device and associated operational procedure are used to both verify the integrity of components of high intensity discharge light fixtures and also troubleshoot problems in the wiring connecting the light fixture to the AC power source (transformer). The diagnostic device is a rugged, self-contained unit that can be connected across the ballast in the fixture for verifying component integrity, while also being adapted to load the AC power line that powers the fixture to detect problems in the wiring between the AC power source and the fixture.

    摘要: A testing kit for luminaire lamps includes a shorting cap that is to be substituted for a photoelectric sensing device to test its operability, and a luminaire lamp testing instrument that is to be used while the shorting cap is in place for testing the operation of the starter and the ballast associated with the luminaire. The shorting cap includes a plurality of equidistantly distributed indicating lights to enable the user to see one of them from any angle, a built-in circuit breaker that trips when there is a short circuit downstream from the photoelectric sensing device, and a pair of jacks for connecting a voltmeter thereto. The luminaire lamp testing instrument has an evaluation circuitry that determines whether or not the starter or the ballast function properly and causes either one of two lights, depending on the design wattage of the luminaire lamp, to issue visually distinguishable signals indicative of proper operation of the starter and the ballast, respectively.
