ELECTRIC EQUIVALENT MODEL FOR INDUCTION ELECTRODELESS FLUORESCENT LAMPS
ABSTRACT:
This paper presents an electric equivalent model applied to induction electrodeless fluorescent lamps.
The model is based on passive components and takes into account the real and reactive lamp power. The
presented model and its obtention methodology will be an important tool for ballast designers. One of the
most important features of the proposed methodology is the concern regarding core losses and lamp reactive
characteristics, because nowadays there are no electric models including these characteristics. In order to
obtain and validate the electrodeless lamp model, a series-parallel resonant half-bridge inverter is used as
ballast. Plasma and lamp windings are modeled as resistances and reactances depending on the lamp power.
Simulations employing the proposed model are also presented, showing an excellent agreement with
experimental results.
