  • Abstract
    A circuit model simulating the electrical characteristics of a fluorescent lamp operating at high frequency is proposed. The model is based on a tangent approximation constructed by experimental results for several power and frequencies. Simulations and experimental results are used to verify the analytical discussions, and, moreover, an electronic ballast example using the proposed model is presented to further demonstrate its applications,.
