Abstract
Design and analysis of a new single-switch soft-switching class-E elec tronic ballast with high input power factor is presented. Design equat ions for the optimum operating condition are derived and complete comp uter analysis performed. It is shown that low duty-cycle control of th e class-E ballast can reduce the voltage stress of the controlled swit ch. A 40-W fluorescent lamp ballast is implemented and experimental re cordings verify the analytical results.
