Abstract
The design procedures and experimental results of a single-stage electronic ballast using half-bridge resonant inverter are presented in this paper. The proposed topology is based on a single-stage ballast which combines a boost converter and a half-bradge series resonant inverter. High power factor is achieved by using the boost semi-stage operating in discontinuous conduction mode and inverter semi-stage operated above resonant frequency to provide zero voltage switching is empolyed to ballast the fluorescent lamp Experimental results from the ballast system with 36W fluorescent
