A High Efficiency Fluorescent Lamp Electronic Ballast Design

• This paper presents the design and implementation of an electronic ballast for powering a fluorescent lamp. The purpose of this work is to improve the efficiency of the ballast by implementing a Series Resonant Inverter (SRI) in half-bridge configuration instead classic Series-Parallel Resonant (SPRI); in order to allow to provide the voltage steady state of the lamp. By other hand, this DC-AC converter will supply the voltage lamp ignition. Results on the proposed experimental prototype, using a fluorescent lamp of 32W, shows a better efficiency compared to traditional SPRI configurations.
