A high ignition voltage is required for the metal halide (MHD) lamp. In this paper, the ballast ignited by internal LC resonance of buck converter with minimum size is proposed. For minimizing the ignition current for device safety, the characteristic impedance is maximized. But this results In a large steady state ripple, which may cause the accoustic resonance. The steady state ripple cancellation network using the coupled inductor is proposed.

Currently, road lightings are installed with less than 400W of existing metal halide lamps. These road lightings are being replaced by energy-saving lightings. Induction lamps are expected to be more actively replaced with targets for tunnel lighting and high ceiling lighting. Therefore, it is necessary to develop high efficiency, high power induction lamps system. In this study, the gas type & pressure, amalgam type were designed for the high power of the induction lamps. And induction lamp system was optimized through electrical, optical characteristics analysis. It is optimized to the gas pressure 300~350 [mmHg] for the discharge tube of high power induction lamp and ferrite core. The driving circuit matching was completed with a induction lamp using indium amalgam. The rated power consumption of the induction lamp was optimized with 250 W (rated ${\pm}10%$)

전자식 안정기의 초기구동 시, 발생되는 입력단의 높은 돌입전류는 전자식 안정기 내의 전파정류다이오드 및 능동 역률보상회로의 파손원인이 되며, 제품의 신뢰성을 감소시키는 큰 요인으로 지목된다. 따라서 안정기의 입력에서 발생되는 돌입전류를 분석하고 제한하는 방법이 필요하다. 본 논문은 250W CDM(Ceramic Discharge Metal-halide) 램프용 DBI(Dual Buck Inverter) 구조의 전자식 안정기에서 초기 구동 시 높은 돌입전류가 발생되는 원인을 분석하고, 해결책을 제시하였다.

This paper presents dimming control system for automotive 35[W] metal halide discharge(MHD) lamp electronic ballast using digital control method. HID system has been becoming increasingly popular due to its superior performance(high luminous efficacy, good color rendering and long life etc.)over the conventional halogen system. However, this lamp demands a highly efficient ballast and very complex control circuitry that can control complex transient state in applying to automotive. Therefore, in this paper, digital control method for the HID lamp ballast is presented for optimal control that can adapt complex transient state, steady state and various environments. In developed dimming system, the system is designed to control the lamp output voltage step by step using microcontroller according to cds sensor. Therefore the designed dimming control system give good driving condition to diver and realize the power control effectively. The results of the proposed system is verified through various simulation results and the experiment results.

A high-efficiency electronic ballast for HID lamps is presented. The ballast consists of a PFC and a resonant inverter. To reduce losses of the ballast, DC link voltage should be determined by taking into account the peak voltage of lamp and the maximum flux density should be kept 0.2[T] on all of inductors. AR inductor at bridge diode is employed in order to remove currant harmonics from PFC. An inductor is connected in series with an electrolytic capacitor at DC link to reject high-frequency current. The acoustic resonance is eliminated using the stead spectrum technique. The electronic ballast for 250[W] metal-halide discharge lamp is implemented and 96[%] efficiency, no acoustic resonance and low conducted EMI level are accomplished.
