Abstract

A high-efficiency electronic ballast for HID lamps is presented. The ballast consists of a PFC and a resonant inverter. To reduce losses of ballast,7C link voltage is determined by taking into account the peak voltage of lamp and a filter-inductor at Bridge diode is employed in order to remove harmonics from PFC. The flux density B$_{m}$ is kept 0.2[T] on all of inductors. A small inductor is connected in series with an electrolytic capacitor of PFC to be operated no high-frequency components. The acoustic resonance is eliminated using the spread spectrum technique. Electronic ballast for 250W metal-halide lamp is implemented and the experimental results show that 97% efficiency, no acoustic resonance and low conducted EMI level.l.
