Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0707438A2] The circuit has inverter switches (S1,S2) coupled in series, and operated in an alternating mode using signals from a control circuit (1). The switches connect with the load circuit that has series resonance stage having a coil (L1) and capacitor (C3). The circuit connects to the lighting tube via a coupling capacitor (C1). The other electrode of the lamp is connected to a heating transformer (T) that has a pair of primaries (T1,T3) and a pair of secondaries (T2,T4). A switch (S3) in the supply line controls the generation of the heating current.
