This paper presents the result of survey of case study for Harmonics in electrical Installations of buildings. Recently, many power electronic equipments(power converter, computers, air conditioners electronic ballasts for fluorescent lamps and so on) are used in office buildings, and harmonic current from them influence the other equipments in a distribution line. Notably, voltage distortion or voltage harmonics may approach or exceed is allowable level in power distribution system. Individual electric power consumers and end-users and responsible for reducing current harmonics while companies or utilities are responsible for reducing voltage harmonics at the point of common coupling in distribution system. As for harmonics, which one of the electric power qualities, it becomes important to obtain harmonic voltage/current distribution of the power system precisely because the use of power electronic apparatus in increasing. However, there are some difficulties on evaluating the measured data in comparison with the simulated result. The primary cause was indentitied with the resonance of harmonics form many sources. To suppress harmonics in electrical installations of buildings, one of many methods suggest that resonance frequencies are controlled by modulating the capacities of high-voltage customer's capacitors.

This paper proposes a new approach for the design of a multi-output electronic ballast for fluorescent lamps of different outputs and control method. At first, a standard-output electronic ballast is constructed and then fluorescent lamps with different outputs are lighted by the frequency control of inverter circuit using MeV. This multi-output electronic ballast consists of a rectifier circuit, an inverter circuit, and a frequency control circuit to determine the optimal frequency for the lamps of different output. In order to verify the proposed design method, a prototype of a multi-output electronic ballast for 11 [WJ. 15[WJ compact fluorescent lamps and 20W fluorescent lamp is constructed. Results of observing the voltage and current characteristics of lamps are in accord with those of PSpice simulation. Also its efficacy is nearly the same as the other electronic ballasts. From the result, therefore, validity of the proposed design method of a multi-output electronic ballast for fluorescent lamps is verified.

네온용 전자식 안정기(EBN)의 출력선간 전자파방해(EMI)로 인한 네온관간의 신호상쇠 현상을 방지하는 회로를 설계하였다. 특히 네온관이 가까이 위치할 때 전자파유도로 인하여 네온발광이 상쇄되는 원인을 방지함으로써 EBN의 성능이 개선되는 결과를 얻었다. 또한 유도전자파를 방지함으로써 인체에 유해한 전자파를 차단하는 효과도 얻었다.

A dimmable ballast system for the electrodeless fluorescent lamp is proposed. The proposed scheme is composed of the electronic ballast and the wireless communication part. They both are realized with one EPLD (Erasable Programmable Logic Device). The dimming levels of each lamps can be controlled by a management system through wireless communication technology. 10 ballasts are used for the group lighting system and the experiment results show the system works well.

To design the light control system using the PLC(Power Line Communication) with the ballasts of MH(Metal Halide) lamps, we analyzed the noise effect on the power line by the electronic ballast. For the power line characteristics are changed by the loads, the ballast have to be designed to be suitable to the PLC. Therefore, this paper proposed the optimal ballast and designed two kinds of PLM(Power Line Modem) which one is ASK type and the other is FSK type. Two type of PLM have used the manchester codes or DS/SS code. Experimental results have shown that the FSK type modem by the DS/SS coding technique have the best characteristics.

Commencing with incandescent light bulbs, every load today creates harmonics. Unfortunately, these loads vary with respect to their amount of harmonic content and their response to problems caused by harmonics. The prevalent difficulties with harmonics are voltage and current waveform distortions. In addition, Electronic equipment like computers, battery chargers, electronic ballasts, variable frequency drives, and switching mode power supplies generate perilous amounts of harmonics. Issues related to harmonics are of a greater concern to engineers and building designers because they do more than just distort voltage waveforms, they can overheat the building wiring, cause nuisance tripping, overheat transformer units, and cause random end-user equipment failures. Thus power quality is becoming more and more serious with each passing day. As a result, active power filters (APFs) have gained a lot of attention due to their excellent harmonic compensation. However, the performance of the active filters seems to have contradictions with different control techniques. The main objective of this paper is to analyze shunt active filters with fuzzy and pi controllers. To carry out this analysis, active and reactive current methods ($i_d-i_q$) are considered. Extensive simulations were carried out. The simulations were performed under balance, unbalanced and non sinusoidal conditions. The results validate the dynamic behavior of fuzzy logic controllers over PI controllers.

This paper dealt with the design and fabrication of a low frequency electronic ballast for ruh attracting lamps. The proposed electronic ballast was composed of a full-wave rectifier, a step don converter operated as a constant power controled current source, an inverter operated by 130 Hz square wave, and an ignition circuit. An acoustic resonance phenomenon of discharge lamps could be eliminated by application of 130 Hz square wave. Also, a circuit of high voltage pulse generation for lamp ignition was added to the ballast. From the experimental results, voltage and current of the lamp operated by the electronic ballast were estimated 132.5 V and 7.6 A, respectively. and the power consumption was about 1,000 W. The weight of the ballast, which is one of important advantages, was reduced to one-fifth of conventional magnetic ballasts.
