Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0243948A2] 1. A control circuit for an arc lamp (6) having two connection terminals (1, 2) for connecting a d.c. voltage (U1 ), a switch arrangement (4) comprising four switches (S1, S2, S3, S4) which are connected in the manner of a bridge and whose first diagonal connection points (3, 5) are connected in series with a choke inductor (L1 , L1' , ...L2 , L2' , ...) limiting the current intensity, and between the second diagonal connection points (7, 8) of which is located the arc lamp (6), having a control arrangement which alternately triggers and opens the switches (S1, S4 or S2, S3) located opposite one another in the bridge, and a current regulator (S5) connected in series with the switch arrangement (4), characterised in that a storage capacitor (C1) is connected in parallel with the first diagonal connection points (3, 5) of the switch arrangement (4) and in series with a forward biassed diode (D6) connected in parallel with a resistor (R1).
