摘 要 本論文針對螢光燈管,提出一種由單級非對稱半橋換流器、負載諧振電路及切換電容調光控制電路所組成之電子式安定器,期能同時達到高效率、高功率因數、低成本、及寬幅調光之設計目的。電路架構係以非對稱半橋換流器為主體,並整合升壓型功率因數修正器實現單級電能轉換,實際簡化電路複雜度,減少元件數目。調光操作則採取調變諧振頻率的方式,以達到寬幅調光之功能。最後,依據本論文提出之設計流程,實際製作一部電子式安定器。所量測之功率因數和效率分別可達0.98及85%,調光操作則達到3:1的範圍。
Abstract In this thesis, a dimmable electronic ballast that consists of a single-stage asymmetrical half-bridge inverter, a load resonant tank and a switched-capacitor dimming control circuit is proposed for driving fluorescent lamps. High efficiency and unity power factor are achieved by the proposed single-stage topology. The switched-capacitor dimming control technique provides better dimming features. The steady-state operating principle and design procedure for the proposed single-stage dimmable electronic ballast are analyzed and discussed in detail. A ballast prototype was implemented at the laboratory. The experimental results verify the feasibility of the proposed method. The measured power factor and efficiency are up to 0.98 and 85%, respectively. The illumination range can achieve 3:1 dimming operation.
