The purpose of this study is to examine the calculated method of loss characteristics of full-bridge eletronic ballast for 250Watt HID lamps by approximated modeling. These lamps have the most emit effiency and color rendering. Especially, the majority of losses appear to the MOSFET do full-bridge, L of output terminal and driver IC, besides losses occur to the R in the ballast. These losses cause heating and breakage of MOSFET. When HID-lamp arrivals the steady-state, loss of ballast is measured 9% and analyzed value is 8% approximately. Accordingly it is not too much to say that greater part of losses is examined.

The electronic ballast for HID lamps needs to ignite lamps even though the length from the ballast to lamp is far away. Therefore, it needs to do the research on a resonant ignition to turn on the HID lamps because the reduction of ignition voltage is not much depending on the distance. However, the parasitic capacitance is increased depending the length of the cable, and it affects the resonant frequency. The ignitor voltage can be increased drastically under the resonant ignition through frequency sweep, and it is the main reason of blowing up. Therefore, the clamping diode is proposed to suppress the voltage of the primary winding during resonant ignition.

본 논문에서는 자동차 헤드라이트용 고압방전등 안정기의 새로운 전력변환 구조를 제안한다. 제안된 전력변환 구조는 기존의 안정기와 같이 고압방전등의 전력제어를 하는 고주파 DC-DC 컨버터와 저주파 DC-AC 인버터로 구성되어 있지만, 컨버터에 보조권선을 사용하여 고압방전등의 점등개시용 절연파괴전압을 얻기 위한 고압변압기의 1차측 전압을 DC-DC 컨버터의 직류단과 분리하여 공급하게 되어 있다. 따라서 기존의 시스템에 비해 작은 전압 정격을 가지는 소자를 사용할 수 있어 시스템의 효율 향상 및 가격 절감을 할 수 있다.

In this paper, electronic ballast using resonant inverter for HID lamp is designed and implemented. The proposed electronic ballast is used the soft switching technology ZVS(Zero Voltage Switching) to reduce turn-on and turn-off loss. The ignition of proposed electronic ballast is achieved by controlling a full bridge inverter which is consisted of LC filter for resonance. After ignition the ballast operates as a low frequency square wave inverter by controlling a full bridge inverter as a buck converter. After ignition at resonant frequency of $f_o$=160kHz, the switching frequency of a buck converter is consisted of 50kHz of high frequency and 170Hz of low frequency. This is for attenuating high frequency harmonics and avoiding acoustic resonance. The experimental results show that electronic ballast using resonant inverter is operated stably.

An electronic ballast with automatic identification between HPS and MH lamps is proposed in this paper. The behavior of the lamp impedance is studied at both cold-starting and warm-starting. Lamp identification is carried out by taking into account the rate of impedance changing at constant current driving mode just after ignition. The ballast consists of 8-bit microcontroller and LCC resonant inverter.

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.

일반적으로 전자식 안정기는 고주파 공진 인버터와 출력을 제어하는 전압-주파수 변환기로 구성되며 half-bridge 및 직렬공진회로가 사용된다. 본 연구에서는 첫째, PI 제어기를 설계하기 위해 V/F 변환기를 포함한 공진 인버터를 모델링하여 전달함수를 구하고 제어기 PI게인을 결정하였다. 그리고 전류제어를 위한 PI제어기는 적분기 만으로 구성됨을 보인다. 둘째, 자기궤환형 제어기를 제안한다. 강인하며 단순한 이 제어기는 인버터 선형모델을 이용하여 궤환게인이 결정된다. 실험을 위해 250W 고압 나트륨램프를 제안된 안정기로 점등하였으며 제안된 방법의 타당성을 확인하고 자기식 안정기에 비해 전체 효율 5% 향상을 달성하였다.

The metal halide lamps are now widely used in the application and commercial lighting due to their attracting properties such as good color rendering and high efficiency. But, they have the serious problem of acoustic resonance for high frequency operation and they need the high voltage to ignite. So, they have not been applied to indoors. Over the past few years, a considerable number of studies have been conducted on the electronic ballast together with hot restarting and resonance phenomenon. But, very few attempts have been made with the adaptive ignition method according to the lamp state. In this paper, electronic ballast is proposed for metal halide lamps with an igniter for adaptive ignition. The proposed electronic ballast can generate different ignition voltages according to the arc tube state.

The electronic ballast for HID lamps needs high ignition voltage which is consisted of high voltage pulse ignitor. However, In the case of street lamp it is far from a lamp to a ballast, the conventional pulsed high voltage ignitor can not turn on the HID lamps because of reduction of ignition voltage. Therefore, it needs to do the research on a resonant ignition to turn on the HID lamps. However, the resonant circuit which is consisted of LC occurs over current, so the capacity of the ignitor increases. The capacity of the ignitor can be reduced by using the transformer. In this case, the capacitor for resonance is installed to the secondary of the transformer, and the capacitor needs high withstanding voltage. Therefore, it needs to do the research on a resonant ignition to reduce the voltage over the resonant capacitor by dividing the secondary of the transformer.
