Abstract :
The paper presents results obtained by qualification tests implemented on an electronic ballast, with particular attention to ON/OFF and thermal tests and EMC tests. Being the device under test an innovative electronic power supply system designed for application in energy saving, it´s fundamental also an evaluation and analysis of the reliability performances. To this aim some results obtained with reliability prediction method are also presented in the paper.
