Abstract :
This paper describes the operation principle, effects of design parameters and critical design issues related to igniters used for the ignition of metal halide lamps. Mathematical modeling for the circuit is also given. A prototype with two step-up transformers has been built, and the test results have verified the theoretical analysis. The test results show that the prototype has. produced an output voltage with a peak value of 17.5 kV and a pulse width of larger than 100 ns under open load condition
