Abstract

Based on physical laws, a phase resolved model of the terminal voltage / current (V-I) characteristic of a metal halide lamp has been developed. Besides the plasma arc discharge characteristic, the energy balance equations include the arc tube wall dynamics and electrode voltage drop. The proposed MATLAB model also provides for physical lamp parameters that enable optimization of the lamp ballast interaction. Practical measurement results support the behaviour predicted by the model very well
