Abstract :
This paper presents a PSpice circuit model for the simulation of both static and dynamic characteristics of fluorescent lamps. The proposed model was developed from the combination and modifications of classical Cassie and Mayr equations. It is helpful for a preliminary design of high frequency electronic ballasts. Experimental results on fluorescent lamps at different conditions are presented and they appear to be in good agreement with simulation results
