Abstract
This paper presents a dimmable electronic ballast designed for multiple fluorescent lamps applications. A ZCS-PWM boost rectifier and a classical resonant full-bridge inverter compose this new electronic ballast, providing conditions for the obtaining of high input power-factor, and soft-switching processes for all semiconductor devices employed in the structure. The instantaneous average input current control technique is employed in the boost rectifier. Concerning the full-bridge inverter, it is controlled by the imposition of phase-shift in the current processed through the sets of resonant filters + lamps, according to an adaptation in a specially designed control IC, called IR2159. Experimental results are presented in order to validate the analyses developed in this paper.
