Abstract (en)

[origin: WO8900804A1] A power supply circuit for an electric discharge lamp driven by an A.C. power supply has a regulating transformer connected in parallel with a current limiting reactor and an electric discharge lamp interconnected in series. The tap of the regulating transformer is connected by a condenser and an auxiliary reactance interconnected in series to the connection between the current limiting reactor and the electric discharge lamp. By adjusting the tap of the regulating transformer the performance of the lamp can be influenced within a wide range. In place of the regulating transformer an electronic phase shifter may also be used, which is particularly advantageous when regulating speeds are required that cannot be achieved by means of an electromechanically adjustable regulating transformer.
