How does the fluorescent ballast work?

Fluorescent electronic ballast works: 220 volts rectified into DC , and then the next wave filter , then OTL transistor oscillator circuit composed by two high-frequency AC and DC becomes a boost , get a 300 + V AC 1000 + V peak around ,30-80KHZ frequency high voltage applied across the lamp , the light goes on . (That is, after the formation of a high-frequency AC voltage is rectified by the oscillation circuit , through step-up transformer to make the fluorescent light. )

 
Inductive ballast works:limiting lamp on and produce an instant high-pressure equipment should be called magnetic ballast, he was wrapped in wire made ​​of silicon steel core system to do so with the core of the coil in the instant power failure , it will produce high-pressure self-inductance , plus at both ends of the fluorescent tube electrode ( filament ) . This action is alternately performed , when the starter ( jump bubble ) is closed , the ballast lamp filament by limiting heat conduction ; open when the starter , the magnetic ballast will generate a high voltage in the self-inductance on both ends of the lamp filament , filament emission electron bombardment wall phosphors glow starter off repeated several times , this kind of action will be repeated several times in order to get through the lamp . When the lamp normal light , the resistance becomes smaller , starter will remain open state , so current is stabilized by the lamp, ballast work, so that the lamp normal light . Since when fluorescent ballasts work , there is always a current through the vibration prone , and may have a fever , so there ballast fluorescent , especially when poor quality ballasts will produce a very loud voice , with the a long time, but also easy to burn .
Working lamp characteristics: Lamp requires a high voltage to ignite the start , not only allows the normal current of the light emitting through , when the voltage across the lamp is lower than the supply voltage.
From the starter switch in the circuit , which consists of a neon discharge tube is made in parallel with a capacitor , the capacitor to eliminate the effect of interference on the power supply and the ballast is formed of electromagnetic oscillation circuit , the amplitude of the pulse voltage starts to increase . A discharge electrode consisting of a bimetal , a neon bulb using a discharge heating the bimetal when opening and closing , the ballast inductor current induced mutations and produce a high voltage pulse applied across the lamp .
 When the lamp access circuit , from the beginning between the two electrodes Hui glow discharge , the bimetal thermal expansion pole in contact with the stationary contact , so the power supply, ballast , starter filament and form a closed loop current preheat the filament , heating time 1-3 seconds later when the glow starter two electrodes between the discharge off, followed by cooling bimetal contact with the stationary pole disconnect , disconnected moments when the two electrodes , the circuit current suddenly disappeared , then the ballast generates a high voltage pulse , after it is superimposed on the power supply , applied to the tube ends , ionized inert gas inside the tube caused by arc discharge , the normal light in the process, the town the self-inductance converter also plays a role in stabilizing the current in the circuit
