Cs. Moo et al., A single-stage high-power-factor electronic ballast with duty-ratio-controlled series resonant inverter, IEEE IND E, 46(4), 1999, pp. 830-832
A single-stage high-power-factor electronic ballast is developed by making
an integration of an active filter and a series resonant inverter. The func
tion of power-factor correction is performed by adjusting the duty ratio of
the inverter power switches with a simple control circuit. A prototype uni
t designed for a 36-W compact fluorescent lamp is built and tested to verif
y the predicted results.
