  • Patent number: 8310164
    Abstract: A multi-lamp driving system includes a power supply and at least one balance transformer. Each balance transformer includes two cores, two primary windings, two secondary windings and two protection windings. Each primary winding is wrapped around a core and serially connected to a lamp to form a first circuit branch in parallel connection with each other. The first circuit branches are powered by the power supply. The Each secondary winding is wrapped around a core and connected to a primary winding. The two secondary windings are connected in series to form a short circuit loop. Each of the protection windings is wrapped around a core and connected to a primary winding. The protection windings are wrapped in opposite directions and connected in series to form a second circuit branch. The second circuit branch outputs voltage signals to the power supply when induced voltages crossing the protection windings are unequal.
