Ae. Emanuel et L. Peretto, THE RESPONSE OF FLUORESCENT LAMP WITH MAGNETIC BALLAST TO VOLTAGE DISTORTION, IEEE transactions on power delivery, 12(1), 1997, pp. 289-295
This paper explains the light flicker mechanism in fluorescent lamps w
ith magnetic ballast. The light flicker is caused by the fitter of the
ignition angle. Voltage noninteger harmonics are found to be the main
cause of flicker. Experimental oscillograms confirm the analytical mo
del.
