  • Plural ferro-resonant power supplies for powering a magnetron where the aray lies in these power supplies being independent from each other and not utilizing any common components
    Patent number: 5838114
    Abstract: A power supply quickly restarts an electrodeless lamp which is temporarily turned off in an application using microwave radiation generated by a magnetron. When the electrodeless lamp operates in a full power mode, the power supply provides full power to the magnetron via high DC current and high DC voltage. When a user selectively switches the electrodeless lamp off, less power is provided to the magnetron than in the full power mode. In the reduced power mode, the magnetron generates sufficient microwave radiation to maintain the bulb plasma in an ignited condition while the lamp produces substantially no light output. This eliminates the required cooldown delay associated with the lamp shut down and quickly brings the lamp to the full power operation when requested by the user.
