Abstract
A dynamic simulation method which has been developed for a low-pressure mercury rare-gas positive column is applied to an analysis of an AC operation of fluorescent lamps. Calculations are carried out for fluorescent lamps with inner diameters of 15.5 mm, 18 mm and 24 mm driven by an AC power source through a single choke at the frequencies of 60 Hz and 50 kHz. Calculated waveforms of lamp voltage and current agree well with experimental ones for both operating frequencies. This technique gives us dynamic characteristics of plasma parameters, and opens a way to computer aided design of the fluorescent lamps.
