Abstract :
The operation of fluorescent tubes on high-frequency (up to 20kc/s) supplies is considered. The characteristics of sine-wave and square-wave transistor inverters are discussed, and a preference is expressed for sine-wave supplies for lamp operation. Design details and component characteristics for sine-wave lamp inverters are considered and various types of circuit are mentioned.
