1

The Electronic Ballast for Self Ballasted Lamps and other Gas discharged lamps with or without Filaments can be made.

Size of all the components of the circuit can be verified.

Circuit functions at variable voltages and frequencies

Lamp can be lighted with 2 wires or 4 wires connected to electronic ballast output

Lamp will be lighted even if there is no filament or two filaments or one filament.

Technology can be used for single filament lamp, double filament lamp or with connecting rods instead of filaments.

2

The lamp can be lighted even without flowing current serially in the circuit.

Instead of filaments, connecting rods with different resistances can be used.

Resistance can be connected serially to output charged and discharged capacities, thereby preventing the damages of the circuit.

To protect the circuit when it is functioning abnormally, resistance is connected serially to output power flow and output charged and discharged capacitors.

Coils of High frequency output terminal is connected to charge and discharged capacitors. So circuit is completed inside the Ballast and generated High Frequency power that lights the lamp.

3

The High Frequency power of secondary coil is used to function FFT transistor and BC 547 transistors so that in abnormal stage, circuit is made OFF.

Collector terminals of FFT transistors and BC547 transistor are connected in such a way that the functioning of these transistors becomes active.

Resistance is connected to the middle of the -ve terminals of 40V-100uf capacitor and 63V-23uf capacitors, so that the transistor is made ON/OFF

Diac maintains the function of power flow of secondary coil smoothly.

DC amplifying stage in the circuit will reduce the harmonics. The circuit functions because of the alternate and DC electrons flow.

Disc capacitor is connected between base of the transistor and collector. This makes the cut off function of transistor very accurate.

Turns of the O-Core winding coils can be changed, which results in the functioning of the circuit. Turns are not equal in numbers in O-core winding sets.

Different Voltages capacitors and different capacitance

capacitors are used in the circuit. So that when the circuit functions abnormally, the High Frequency power becomes CUT OFF.

Lamps can be made functions, even if 4 wires or two wires are connected from output terminals of the circuit.

The lamp does not start, if one of the cathode broken.

Even if input power is available in the Ballast and lamp is not connected, the circuit becomes automatically OFF.

Ballast will come automatically OFF, when short circuit across capacitors happens.

If cathode is connected without lamp, the circuit does not function and safety is maintained.

Lamp operates even in the absence of one of the cathodes.

When the power flow is prevented while lamp functions, the Ballast stands automatically OFF. The power flow will stop automatically at High frequency output, if circuit functions abnormally. This is because the field effect transistor uses the power of C-Core High frequency coil of secondary coil and make BC transistor ON.

Resistance is connected serially between output terminal of High Frequency coil and output terminal of DC block filter capacitor. This will results in the completion of High frequency power flow in the circuit.

One wire from output terminal of DC block filter capacitor is connected to tube and other wire is connected from output terminal of High Frequency coil. This results in the smooth functioning of the tube.

Circuit can be designed with different lamp wattages.

A4 rectifying diodes convert input AC power to DC power.

C4 resistance prevents circuit shortage in case circuit functions abnormally

B2 Electrolytic capacitors help to reduce AC components of DC Voltage

A2 rectifying diodes amplify Dc voltage. G4 capacitor and M2 Diac make circuits ON.

This high frequency power passes through the lamp directly. As a result the life of lamp increases.

Y4 transistor stops high frequency power.

B4 diodes convert secondary coil power to DC power

T4 resistance reduces the power flow in the M4 Diac

K4 Diodes reduces the heat produced by the D2 transistors

B2 resistance helps the transistors ON

F2 resistances help transistors to function very stably

D4 coils of R2-0-Core produces high frequencies and also controls transistors.

T2 resistance functions parallel to P2 diodes and makes output high frequency and equalises peak to peak.

E2 resistances increase the voltage and current of H2- secondary of C2-Ee-Core coils.

The combination of H4 coil and J2 capacitors helps to get stable high frequency power at output.

By increasing the C2 core size, the power loss can be reduced.

The combination of G4 capacitor and H4 coil produces high frequency power flow.
