Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0585727A1] A ballast for a gas-discharge lamp having a rectifier which is supplied from the mains, has two smoothing capacitors (220, 221) in a series circuit between its two outputs and, for its part, supplies an invertor which comprises two controllable switches (201, 202) which are arranged in series and are connected between the two inputs (A, B); a series circuit which is arranged in parallel with the two controllable switches (201,202) and consists of two further capacitors (218,219); and a series circuit consisting of a primary winding (209) of a saturable transformer, an inductor (215) and a parallel circuit comprising a capacitor (217) and the gas-discharge lamp (216), the series circuit connecting the centre tap of the two switches (201, 202) to the centre tap of the two further capacitors (218, 219), and the centre tap of the two further capacitors (218, 219) being connected via a conductor (222) to the centre tap of the two smoothing capacitors (220, 221). <IMAGE>
