Abstract

A novel topology, current-sourcing push-pull parallel-resonance inverter (CS-PPRI), is investigated theoretically and experimentally. The proposed power stage is built around a current fed push-pull inverter. The main features of the proposed inverter are a load-independent output current and zero voltage switching (ZVS). It is suggested that the proposed CS-PPRI is a viable alternative for realizing electronic ballasts for low and high intensity discharge lamps
