Abstract: A high frequency drive circuit operating as a push-pull, Class C oscillator for driving a high-intensity, gaseous discharge lamp and avoiding the use of a relatively large ballast coil. A highly stable power supply for operating in conjunction with such circuit is also provided.

Abstract: A circuit for energizing a gaseous discharge lamp at high frequency utilizing a thyristor, preferably an SCR. The energizing circuit for the lamp includes a resonant or tank circuit operating at an appropriate high frequency, preferably above the acoustic resonant frequencies of the lamp, and which also commutates an SCR. The cathode/anode of the SCR is connected to a voltage adjusting network to provide an initiating pulse through the SCR to start oscillations in the resonant or tank circuit when the SCR is gated on and which reduces the applied supply potential to the SCR during its conduction period to ensure non-conductive latching of the SCR when the gate thereto is removed by lengthening the natural commutation interval of the SCR. This permits the SCR to be used as a switch at the high frequencies involved, normally about 60 kHz.

Abstract: A dimmer circuit for an HID lamp is provided for supplying a square wave current therethrough at a constant frequency, but whose duty cycle is variable dependent on a sensed current level. The circuit employs a first pair of transistor switches for reversing polarity through the lamp at a low frequency rate. Associated with each of those transistors is a circuit having a transistor switch connected to a drive circuit employing a timer network. The timer network produces an output that is a square wave, the leading edge of which occurs at regular intervals at a high frequency rate. The trailing edge occurs dependent on a dim/bright voltage setting and upon the amount of current through a sensing resistor in series with the lamp.

Abstract: A protection circuit for producing one or more triggers in the presence of a monitored overvoltage condition employing photodiode networks for sensing the voltage overload, phototransistors responding to the photodiode outputs and operating gated semiconductors, which, in turn, discharge capacitors for trigger production. Separate networks are provided for each ac polarity operation. Monitoring may be with respect to supply voltage, power supply output voltage or one or more independent voltages.
