Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0750447A1] The circuit has a mains filter (16), an HF oscillator (18) and an ignition circuit (20). Each heater electrode (12) has a corresp. resistance (22) connected in parallel with it. Each resistance is a negative temp. coefficient resistance. The negative temp. coefficient resistances are low impedance when their parallel heater electrodes become open circuit. The mains filter input is connected to the mains supply. The ignition circuit is connected in parallel with the lamp.
