Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1443808A2] The gas discharge lamps [LP1,LP2] are supplied by a system with a rectifier [D1-4] having an output coupled to an electronic pumping circuit [UN1,D7,D8] and a capacitor [C31]. An AC inverter [INV] connects with a resonator circuit [L3,C6,C7] having a regulator [CONT] and a preheater resistor controls attenuation. This operates to limit values from a switch.
