Abstract :
In this paper, a measurement system for characterization of High Intensity Discharge Lamps (HID) operating at high frequency is proposed. The measurement system provides a complete lamp characterization including acquisition of fundamental electrical parameters, an automatic method for acoustic resonance detection and lamp life testing capabilities. Also, a remote control and supervision of lamp operation is available.
