Abstract
A single-stage electronic ballast with high power factor (HPF) is proposed in this letter. The single-phase boost-type rectifier provides HPF. A satur able transformer constituting the self-oscillating drive limits the lamp cu rrent and dominates the switching frequency of the ballast Experimental res ults obtained on a 40-W fluorescent lamp are discussed.
